Overlording the Underworld
I can believe it. It's still a stretch that a little boy raised by animals would come up with it on his own. Not that much of a stretch, but compared to the other stuff he does, it's a bit farther out there.
And whenever I see the King Louie scene, I can't help thinking I'd handle it like, "I'm sorry, but we have to learn about the Red Flower, and as you know, I wasn't raised by man. So let me go, I'll learn about it, and then I'll come back. Unless you're willing to settle for something else, in which case I'll teach your monkey army to make and use spears."
Perhaps, but even if Mowgli knew how to create fire I doubt he'd want to give it over to Louie, knowing that he'd use it to cause harm and death to the jungle's inhabitants. Same with spears.
It's on Netflix, so I've been rewatching it... probably more than I should be.
I'd still love it if Shere Khan came back in a sequel, crippled and broken from his defeat, possibly humbled as well.
One thing I love about this movie is the way this movie introduces antagonists. All three of the movie's main antagonists are introduced as shadowy parts of the background. Louie and Kaa, especially, are indisguishable from the environment until the audience suddenly realizes that they're not just there, but they're huge and it's awesome.

Apparently the honey harvesting was based on real life hive farming techniques.
