🌴 Shanti from “The Jungle Book” and “The Jungle Book 2” serves as Mowgli’s love interest. In the first film, she innocently lures Mowgli into the man-village through her song “My Own Home”. Surprisingly, the creative team had a difficult time finding an appropriate ending for “Jungle Book”. The overall challenge was how to get Mowgli to the villlage after he spent most of the story trying to stay in the jungle despite the dangers. The idea was originated by Walt Disney during a story meeting. The idea of a pretty girl was initially frowned upon by the animators, particularly Ollie Johnston and Milt Kahl. However, Johnston, who animated the girl admitted that the more he worked on his animation assignment, the better he loved it.

In “The Jungle Book 2”, Shanti is at adds with Mowgli due to their differing views about the jungle. In the song, “Jungle Rhythm”, Mowgli sings about the positive aspects of the jungle and almost lured Shanti and the other village children into the jungle to show that it was not as dangerous as the grownups have said.

I got this as a kid during a C1000 and Friesche Vlag promotion. We played it very much, which is why the box has some wear.
