** Adding to this, since Shere Khan is no longer a threat, Bagheera is perfectly fine with Mowgli remaining in the jungle.

* A small moment, but when Bagheera is escorting Mowgli back to the man-village, Mowgli asks Bagheera why he can't stay with some other animals than the wolves, like the crocodiles. Just the implications that Mowgli considers the crocodiles (a species [[NeverSmileAtACrocodile normally villainised in Disney films]]) worth living with is pretty heartwarming in itself.

* For older Disney fans, the film's ending with the very same book from the 1967 version closing will bring a smile. Counting as a MythologyGag as well.

* While scaling up a wall to rescue Mowgli from the monkeys, when Baloo starts whimpering, Bagheera shows boundless patience and tells him to keep his eyes up high while assuring him that he's doing fine. After Baloo reaches the top, Bagheera compliments him and calls him "old chap". It clearly shows that them working together to save Mowgli has caused Bagheera to soften up and help the bear overcome his fears without any impatience.
-->'''Baloo:''' A bird... That can't be a good sign! ''(starts sobbing)''\\
'''Bagheera:''' Baloo! Look at me. Look at nothing but me. You're doing fine. Just keep your eyes up high.\\
'''Baloo:''' Alright I'm coming. I'm coming.\\
''(later at the top, Baloo finally reaches it.)''\\
'''Baloo:''' I did it!\\
'''Bagheera:''' Well done, old chap.

* King Louie is obviously faking it when he's proposing to Mowgli to give him fire, so he may let him live with him and protect him from Shere Khan. But Louie does a fairly good job of actually sounding sincere, like when he offers Mowgli some papaya to eat and cracks a smile when he first introduces himself. It's ambiguous as to whether Louie would've sincerely cared for Mowgli had he given him fire, but it's argued that he had little to lose from taking in Mowgli, who simply wants a place to live in, so it's ''possible'' he would've treated him fairly if he had complied. Only Creator/ChristopherWalken can make a slimy mob boss offering sanctuary as a ruse sound sincere and heartwarming when he says "Only ''I'' can protect ya."
