The return of Mowgli?

[Tom]

I can't tell you who it is, but I can tell you when it was taken. It was during an AP event that was held at DAK on Sept. 29, 2007 to celebrate the Jungle Book DVD release. That horrible Mowgli costume has been permanently burned into my brain since that night.

Horrible doesn't do it justice. That costume seriously looks like I made it in my garage, and the head region is a mess too. What were they thinking?

With Disney movie theming everywhere, this thread makes me wonder why Disney hasn't used the Jungle Book in some fashion in DAK? Seems to be a perfect fit for some future attraction.

OMG he's a demon!!

Somebody stole Shirley Temple's wig!! And that spray tan is from New Jersey maybe??:ROFLOL::ROFLOL::ROFLOL:

The park opened with a Jungle Book show in the Theater in the Wild. It only ran for about a year before Tarzan Rocks replaced it.

Let's just go without a loin-clothed guy for awhile and see what happens..

You know as well as I do that some of the women that attend MNSSHP will riot if that happens.

I searched Google Images and found this picture. I dunno who it is or when it was taken but Mowgli looks kinda scary

Yeah he does!

True, but that particular Tarzan is definitely questionable. I'm not really into rating other guys, but they need to do better than that. Tarzan Rocks always had a guy much more ripped than that, although he was also doing some work in the show.

I imagine that they could do Mowgli like they do Lilo. I don't see it looking too odd.

I saw a DLP video with Mowgli and I distinctly remember the flesh color suit.

I wish he had a head like Lilo, but really Mowgli isn't even that popular of a character.

Just to be clear-Tarzan will not be returning for meet n greets at all and that includes MNSSHP.

Please tell us why, Drew. Anything wrong with the costume or something?

There was also another Tarzan that seemed like a much better fit. I don't remember that one at all.

I sure hope that the characters' "friends" don't read these posts. If they did, I bet they'd be EXTREMELY offended.

Besides, looks aren't EVERYTHING. They won't just cast a performer into a role right away only based on how much they may resemble the character in question. Personalities, behaviors, mannerisms, etc. are always taken into consideration as well. The performers also have to have good people skills too.

So if Mowgli comes, logic would dictate he joins the other Jungle Book characters at their station. Is there any chance they may just let Terk return to AK and bring in another movie's characters? Rescuers Down Under would be my pick!

Terk is still out at AK.

Has there ever been a Rescuers M&G at any of the Disney Parks? I love the two movies so much.

Yes. Years ago Madam Medusa, Evinrude, Orville, Miss Bianca and Bernard did meet n greets. Miss Bianca and Bernard still appear at Tokyo but haven't appeared in years at WDW.


Jake and Frank from Rescuers Down Under were also available. I think they were special events only.
