The Jungle Book is an Indian 3D CGI animated television series. This series is based on the original book by Rudyard Kipling.
This series contations ecamples of:
- Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: Baloo wears glasses in this show.
- Adaptational Badass: Shere Khan is not crippled in this adaptation and is feared by many animals.
- Adaptational Villainy: Downplayed. Kaa occasionally antagonizes Mowgli and others in few episodes, but he often allies with them just like in the original book.
- Ambiguous Time Period: The Christmas episode implies that the show takes place closer to modern times.
- Amnesiacs are Innocent: Shere Khan in "Kitty Kat Khan."
- Androcles' Lion: Doubling as Pet the Dog, the normally antagonistic Jacala does this toward Mowgli after he later pulls his bad teeth and even defends him from Shere Khan.
- Big Bad: Shere Khan plays this role like he did in the books.
- Big Brother Instinct: Mowgli for his wolf siblings in "Darzi's Waterfall Rescue" and "Blood Brothers."
- Bratty Half-Pint: Mowgli can act as one in few episodes.
- Butt-Monkey: Tabaqui.
- Composite Character: Bala and Lali are probably based on Grey Brother.
- Children Are Innocent: Ponya is this. She is sweet, friendly and has a child-like personality.
- The Dragon: Tabaqui, though he's not particularly good at it.
- Gender Flip: Darzi
- Grumpy Old Man: Kaa acts as one in most of the episodes.
- Forgetful Jones: Darzi has an incredibly terrible memory.
- Honorable Elephant: Just like his book counterpart, Haithi is a powerful and respected figure in the jungle whom even Shere Khan backs away from.
- Jerkass: Shere Khan, Jacala and Phaona are main examples.
- Jerkass Ball: Mowgli holds one in "Sleeping Python," "Mowgli's Sparklie" and "The Rubber Ball".
- Karma Houdini: Ikki manages to avoid anything after she spread rumors about Mowgli being a coward in "Human After All" and in the end she spreads rumors on Bagheera being a coward.
- Lighter and Softer: Even more child-friendly than the Disney version, which already is one of the most extreme examples of Disneyfication.
- Misplaced Wildlife: Baloo, from what we can guess, is a brown bear, which aren't native to that part of India. One episode touched upon this, as he's noted to be the only bear in the jungle before he meets a female bear.
- Noble Wolf: Mowgli's wolf family, except for Phaona.
- Odd Name Out: The crocodile's five sons are Biter, Grabber, Chomper, Guzzleguts and... Colin.
- Ungrateful Bastard: Phaona in "The Race," which costs him his victory after Bagheera calls him out on it.
