Disney's *The Jungle Book* wouldn't be the timeless classic it is without its incredible cast, both in animation and live-action adaptations! Let's explore some key players:
**Mowgli:** The heart of the story! Whether it's Neel Sethi's portrayal in the live-action version or the original animated Mowgli, this 'man-cub' captures our hearts with his resilience and innocent wonder.
**Baloo:** The carefree bear who teaches Mowgli the 'Bare Necessities' of life. Voiced memorably by Phil Harris in the animated film and brought to life by Bill Murray in the live-action version, Baloo is the ultimate lovable mentor.
**Bagheera:** The wise and protective panther. Voiced by Sebastian Cabot in the animation and played by Ben Kingsley in the live-action adaptation, Bagheera is the voice of reason and Mowgli's guardian.
**Shere Khan:** The menacing tiger and Mowgli's nemesis. George Sanders lent his voice to the animated Shere Khan, while Idris Elba brought a terrifying gravitas to the live-action role.
From unforgettable voice acting to stunning visual performances, *The Jungle Book* cast truly brings the jungle to life. Who's your favorite character and why?
