* AdaptationalHeroism: Shere Khan is one of two recurring antagonists in the original Mowgli stories, as well as the BigBad in Disney's adaptations, due to his desire of killing Mowgli simply because of his existence as an orphaned human child. Here, Shere Khan is merely the ruthless, yet noble enforcer of jungle law who protects the animals from wicked hunters. He also shows no intention to either kill Mowgli or antagonize any of the animals (especially Baloo, Bagheera and the wolves) who have befriended Mowgli; he even accepts Mowgli as a fellow creature of the jungle once they meet face to face.

* CanonForeigner: Boone was created to serve as a direct foil to Mowgli in this film, replacing Shere Khan and Buldeo as the BigBad of the story.

* DemotedToExtra: In the original Mowgli Stories, Buldeo took over as Mowgli's primary enemy once Shere Khan had been killed, as was faithfully depicted in the 1942 film. In this film, Buldeo is little more than the right-hand of CanonForeigner Brydon.

* AnimalLover: Downplayed. Brydon dislikes elephants in general, finding them to be an annoyance at best. In spite of this, Brydon knows better to respect the jungle law as he refuses to hunt down animals (especially elephants) for sport and fun; even his failed attempt to shoot Shere Khan (a fierce tiger) was only out of an obligation to protect his villagers (as covered by the jungle law). He even willingly attempted to save Mowgli and Grey Brother (an orphaned wolf cub) from a burning cart filled with kerosene barrels.

It isn't a novel. Its a collection of short stories.


* AdaptationalBadass: Even more so than his novel version and his 1967 animated version, as he was capable of fighting back against Kaa (a dangerous anaconda) in self-defense, and was able to tackle down Boone and several of his thugs when they were attacking him. He was even able to come face-to-face against Shere Khan (a dangerous tiger) without showing any cowardice.
