* AnimalSpeciesAccent: Many animal characters talk in a voice that resembles the sounds their species makes. Baloo has a deep, grating voice resembling a bear's roars, Shere Khan has a soft voice with purrs, growls and snarls, Tabaqui has a high-pitched, giggly voice fitting for a hyena, and Kaa's voice has a hissing overtone which occasionally becomes SssnakeTalk.

* BearsAreBadNews: This version of Baloo is a SternTeacher meets DrillSergeantNasty, harsh and demanding with Mowgli, as far from the BearyFunny Disney character as possible. He also looks scarred, rugged and has a deep, grating voice. Mitigated by the fact that he's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.

These wolves aligned with Shere Khan never show up in the climax of the movie and it is unknown if they were ever even dealt with.

Predators need to hunt to survive, and the wolves have a Spartan society where AsskickingEqualsAuthority. However, apart from Shere Khan, Tabaqui and the monkeys, all animals follow the Law of the Jungle. By contrast, the human society is more cheerful and pleasant but also more ignorant.

* WiseSerpent: Being a TruerToTheText adaptation of ''Literature/TheJungleBook'', Kaa is presented this way. Described as being as [[TimeAbyss old as the jungle]] itself, [[GenderFlip she]] is an [[TheGreatSerpent impossibly large python]]; whilst revered and feared by all the inhabitants (even [[AxCrazy Shere Khan]]), she is nevertheless a wise, gracious, and strong-willed figure, who desires peace throughout the jungle. She likewise has the [[{{Seers}} power to see the future and the past]], and even serves as the [[CharacterNarrator film's narrator]].

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Tabaqui in this version is a striped hyena (although he more closely resembles a brown hyena, [[MisplacedWildlife which are indigenous to Africa]]). The Bandar-log are portrayed as various types of monkeys such as gray langurs, bonnet macaques, and lion-tailed macaques. Rann looks like a swallow-tailed kite ([[MisplacedWildlife a North American species]]). Sambar deer appear throughout the film.

In December 2017, the title was changed to just ''Mowgli''. After purchasing the film, Netflix changed the title to ''Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle''.

* CheshireCatGrin: Being a tiger, Shere Khan cannot actually smile. Thus any "smile" from him is actually him baring his fangs.
* CombatPragmatist: In spite of being crippled and even [[spoiler: roughed up by elephants at the end]], Shere Khan is still a large and formidable tiger while Mowgli, despite being raised in the jungle, is still just a human child. Not surprisingly in their final confrontation, [[spoiler: Mowgli has to take a lot of evasive maneuvers to stay out of the range of Khan's fangs and claws, while relying on some outside interference, before he's able to mortally wound Shere Khan.]]
* ElephantsNeverForget: Elephants really do never forget. [[spoiler:When Haithi is guided to Lockwood, the hunter responsible for shooting off part of his tusk, he is absolutely ''pissed''.]]
