Reading this now and it actually rules so fucking hard. Anyone else read it?Also did anyone else notice Disney ripped off Sher Khan's death for the Lion King? Then they disrespected the actual adaptation so hard by changing everything lol
>>25321218I haven’t read it. what did disney change in the cartoon?
>>25321218Does it read like it's for kids or naw?
>>25322856it does
>>25321218I thought lion king was just kitty hamlet?
>>25323005word, maybe I'll read it anyway if it shows up at the used book store. Seems like a fun time and it's been a long time since I've read a kids book. ty for the rec
>>25322847>Baloo in the book is a grizzled warrior type who is very serious about teaching Mowgli to survive in the jungleKaa is badass and helps Baloo and Bagheera rescue Mowgli from the monkeys >Mowgli himself is a turbo badass >goes to the man village to learn from them, learns that everything they know is bullshit >Sher Khan has no real power and everyone thinks he's a punk bitch, calls him a cripple behind his backMowgli has real beef with Sher Khan. Not because he killed Mowgli's human parents but because he had the gall to threaten Mowgli himself. He's just like "I don't think so motherfucker, actually I'm going to kill YOU" As someone who thinks you should definitely immediately destroy anyone who threatens you this resonated a lot with me>>25322856There are a lot of words kids won't know and some really nice prose but essentially yes it is a kids book
>>25323240adding to the Kaa bit because he got done so dirty in the movie. They turned him into some weird pedophile https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh5kxentrY0
>>25321218Why are you reading a kids book? Go read something that suits your age.
>>25325107Careful, if you threaten OP, he will immediately kill you.
>>25325107I read Crime and Punishment directly before this and it felt like more of a kids book tbqh
