* AllWomenAreLustful: The women of the man-village sing a song about this.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** Early in the play, the wolves talk about how Mowgli looks nothing like a wolf. One of them says: "He doesn't even have a tail, apart from that little bit in the front."
** The song the women sing about Mowgli are full of sexual references, including implications that Mowgli is "welcome in a bed", and comparing a woman's lap to a "fragrant forest".

'''''A dzsungel könyve''''' is a Hungarian [[TheMusical stage musical]] based on the Mowgli stories from Creator/RudyardKipling's ''Literature/TheJungleBook''. While somewhat whimsical in tone, taking a few cues from the [[Disney/TheJungleBook Disney version]], it is still a very faithful adaptation of the book, keeping a lot of the darker parts. In 1996 it was a major hit in Hungary, and has been staged numerous times since then.

** Some changes seem to be inspired by the [[Disney/TheJungleBook Disney animated film]], such as Kaa's mild AdaptationalVillainy, Chil's species change from a kite to a vulture (the Disney film had four singing vultures), and the addition of a female LoveInterest to Mowgli.

* EvilAlbino: The white cobra who guards the treasure under the Monkey City.

* BittersweetEnding: Mowgli defeats Shere Khan and gets together with Túna, but [[spoiler: Baloo is dead; when Mowgli returns to the jungle he finds that the wolf pack got disbanded under Shere Khan's leadership; and he is also accused from the man-village due to Buldeo's accusations of witchcraft]].

* TheUndertaker: Chil and the vultures view themselves as this. It might be a reference to the story "The Undertakers" from the original book.

* RottenRockAndRoll: The VillainSong sung by Shere Khan is a hard rock song with electric guitars.

* WomenAreWiser: Bagheera, who is a female in this version, is often the voice of reason. She tries to convince Baloo to use less violence in his lessons to Mowgli, and attempts to negotiate with Kaa to help in the fight against Shere Khan near the end of the play.

* CluelessChickMagnet: Mowgli, who is initially very confused why the women from the man-village are so happy to see him. Not that he complains.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Baloo. He is a SternTeacher who often beats up Mowgli, but he does this because he has old-fashioned views on teaching, and ultimately really loves and cares about Mowgli. He risks his own life to rescue the man-cub from the Bandar-log.

* SternTeacher: Baloo, who believes that beating Mowgli up with his massive paws is the only way to make him learn his lessons. He even sings a song about this.

* GenderFlip: Bagheera is a female in this play (similarly to the Russian animated film).

* VillainSong: Shere Khan gets a rocking one in which he tries to convince the wolves to follow him, while Buldeo has one where he brags about being a great hunter. Kaa's first song, where he uses MassHypnosis on Mowgli and the monkeys, also plays out as this, even though he becomes an ally to Mowgli later in the same scene.

* BerserkButton: Kaa doesn't like to be called a "yellow earthworm" (a mocking nickname the monkeys gave him).
