The Jungle Book Overview:
The Jungle Book (1967) was a Animation - Adventure Film directed by Wolfgang Reitherman and produced by Walt Disney.
SYNOPSIS
The 17th animated feature produced by Disney studios and the last film supervised by Walt Disney himself, this endearing feature is based on Rudyard Kipling's story about a boy named Mowgli raised by wolves in the wilderness of India. During his delightfully scary adventures with a series of wild creatures, Mowgli learns he must leave the jungle and be what nature intended him to be - a man. Delightful jazz-inspired songs, including "Trust In Me," I Wanna Be Like You," and "Bare Necessities," make this a Disney classic. The 30th Anniversary Limited Edition includes a featurette entitled The Making of the Jungle Book and a songbook featuring lyrics from the soundtrack.

Elephants: Hut, two, three, four. Hut, two, three, four.
Shere Khan: What beastly luck! Confound that ridiculous Colonel Hathi!
King Louie: [singing] Now, I'm the king of the swingers, whoa / The jungle V.I.P. / I've reached the top and had to stop / And that's what's botherin' me / I wanna be a man, Man Cub / And stroll right into town / And be just like the other men / I'm tired of monkeyin' around.

Shere Khan: Element of surprise? Ho! I say. And now for my rendez-vous with the lost man-cub.

Facts about
Many cultural scholars (including Edward Schiappa and Susan Miller & Greg Rode) have singled out the King Louie character as a particularly offensive racial stereotype (especially given the political and civil rights climates in America during the time The Jungle Book was released).
Just after Mowgli runs away and Bagheera is trying to convince Col. Hathi to look for him, Hathi's wife Winifred announces if they don't help find him, she will take command of the herd. Hathi is outraged at the thought of a female leading. The joke is that elephants herds are led by a matriarch (female), while adult males generally live alone. As the only apparent female in the herd, Winifred should be leading by default.
