One can even see him as a successful poseable action figure. Rudyard Kipling, Stephen Jones (Editor), Neil Gaiman (Goodreads Author) (Introduction) 3.84 avg rating 577 ratings published 2008 10 editions. Rudyard Kiplings Tales of Horror and Fantasy. While he looks nothing like the Indian envisioned by Kipling, played by Sabu or drawn by Disney artists for their animated “The Jungle Book,” the star of “Dragon” makes an admirable and appealing hero. 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars. This new “Jungle Book” casts Jason Scott Lee, that lithe and catlike all-purpose Asian/Polynesian/Indian/Eskimo, as the post-adolescent Mowgli. Geldman, who cooked up the story for this new Mowgli tale, have taken that brief if decisive incident and spun from it an enjoyable but bogus picture that might be called, “The Third Jungle Book, With Apologies to Rudyard Kipling.” But upon seeing a girl coming down a path on the edge of a village, Mowgli opts for life with the Man- Pack. In the final tale of “The Second Jungle Book,” the Indian child raised by the Seeonee wolf pack has decided to return to the jungle. These new adventures of Mowgli might better be titled “Indian Jungle boy and the Temple of Doom.” “Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book” is a misnomer.
