* (Flanderization): The characters personalities become more exaggerated in the second season. For example, Hathi goes from just being absentminded to more of a naive klutz, Bagheera is incredibly uptight [[SuperOCD and freaks out at the slightest bit of disorganization]], and Shere Khan becomes more of a stereotypical bully.

Added DiffLines:

''Jungle Cubs'' is an animated TV series spun off from the Disney movie ''Disney/TheJungleBook''.

!!''Jungle Cubs'' provides examples of:

* AffablyEvil: Emphasized even more so with the show, where both Shere Khan and Kaa were friends with Baloo and the others in their early life ([[{{Jerkass}} if still somewhat antagonistic]]). This is emphasized in a darkly comic moment in which young Kaa snatches a small bird, seemingly set on devouring it, instead pleasantly greeting it good morning before letting it go, having already had a large meal (revealing a large bulge in his tail as he slithers off).
-->'''Kaa:''' 'Tis good to eat, but 'tis better to have eaten.
** May be lampshaded in Shere Khan's case by his voice actor, Jason Marsden, known for voicing characters who either underwent a HeelFaceTurn (Kovu), [[PelagianVillain had been forced into being evil]] (Haku), or were a NobleDemon VisionaryVillain who had still had some good in him (Chase Young).
* ButtMonkey / TheChewToy / TheWoobie: Kaa.
* ContinuityNod: Several, including [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GpCqOZ4XKQ&feature=related a few in the intro.]] Most obvious are the ruins where the cubs hang out, which are the same ruins Louie and the monkeys rule over in the movie - the biggest one might be an episode where Louie finds out he's destined to be king of the jungle, and learns he has what it takes to be the just, kind ruler that everyone needs someday. Ironically...
** It should be mentioned that Louie is often referred to as a "Prince" in the first season, which seemed to imply that he was meant to be king from the beginning. However, in the second season this is completely ignored in favor of the whole monkey prophecy thing.
* ForegoneConclusion: The main characters' friendship peters out and dies - they all end up being not-so-close, while Shere Khan and Kaa take places as more menacing predators in the jungle and become entirely estranged from the rest.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: [[LazyBum Baloo]] is phlegmatic, [[TheStoic Bagheera]] is melancholic, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Shere Khan]] is choleric, [[{{Keet}} Louie]] is sanguine. Hathi and Kaa qualify as supine.
* JerkAss[=/=]JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Shere Khan, depending on the episode.
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Bagheera, Shere Khan and Hathi all have American accents in the show, this is made all the more jarring due to "Born To Be Wild" replicating their original British voices for their adult forms.
* OnlySaneMan / CloserToEarth: Bagheera, as the voice of reason possibly even more so than in the movies.
* RunningGag: While he does so once in the first movie, this show really started the "Bagheera falls into a body of water" gag, which happens almost OnceAnEpisode, that was used three times in the sequel.
** The two ever-hungry vultures Arthur and Cecil always end up beaten up, crushed, mauled etc while attempting to make a meal out of the main characters.
* SpinOffBabies: Natch.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Judging by the episode where Shere Khan's reaction to his (off-screen) parents is shown, Shere Khan is one of these. May also be a FreudianExcuse for some of his later villainy.
