The first live action adaptation came out in 1942, before Disney could get a hold of the story. 2 Hungarian filmmaking brothers, Zoltán and Alexander Korda, made the film, and it’s loosely based on the “Tiger! Tiger!” story since it’s mostly about how Mowgli deals with the human world after he becomes a man. The animal characters only make appearances as supporting characters , and Mowgli’s biggest challenge is getting the human villagers to see him as something other than a savage or demon. In the end Mowgli says “screw you guys” and goes back to the jungle where he grew up.
