* In the "Pomp and Circumstance" segment of ''Disney/Fantasia2000'', the snake that tries to eat the mice towards the end of the segment resembles Kaa. In addition, Colonel Hathi and Winifred appear as the two elephants.
* At the end of ''Disney/TheLionKingOneAndAHalf'', Mowgli and Baloo are among the many Disney characters who enter the theater to see the titular movie after Timon's mother rewinds it.

All of Bagheera's friends [[NiceJobBreakingItHero reprimand him for his actions]], except Shere Khan, who is actually glad that Mowgli is dead. During the closing credits, Baloo sings a song to the tune of "Bare Necessities" about wolves eating people, and in TheStinger, Kaa is seen ensnaring and hypnotizing Disney/WinnieThePooh, and the two characters note [[ActorAllusion how similar their voices sound]]. [[note]]Since Disney uses the same voice actors for both characters, Sterling Holloway, and later Creator/JimCummings.[[/note]]
