...that butchering of Kipling's *Jungle Books*. I'd like to know what screwed-up imbecile turned the original story upside-down in order to make Kaa an enemy of Mowgli, and the monkeys Mowgli's buddies?
I much preferred the original classic, in which Kaa EATS those damn monkeys.

I saw the movie back in '69 while in first grade. Never read the book itself, might do so, better late than never. I remember a "pious" uncle of mine warning me against reading Kipling as a child, because he supposedly had occult/satanic connections. Is there any basis in this allegation? If so, gotta get unabridged copies of his complete works :P

I don't know whether Kipling, himself, may have been an active participant in the neo-paganism movement, but I do know that a lot of his poetry is often quoted by neo-pagans. Such as his poem "Song to Mithras".
And then there's his wonderful poem from his Jungle Books, titled "The Law of the Jungle". When the wolves in the poem are viewed as an analogy of pagans (particularly Satanists), then the poem becomes practically a children's primer for Satanic ethics.
Find "The Law of the Jungle" on the 'net, read it, and see for yourself. :)

Did a "find-replace" on the poem -- I see your point :)
