Notes:
|
|
Be-bopping along and singing a jungle song, Baloo the jive-talking bear and Mowgli the man-cub are an inseparable pair. I kept thinking how can I make this bear and this kid feel closer together, noted animator Ollie Johnston, while fellow Disney artist Frank Thomas added, that with Baloo and Mowgli,“I think we got the strongest friendly relationship between two characters we ever got in any picture. Baloo was to originally have
had a much smaller role in The Jungle Book but the relationship between the boy and bear was so heartfelt,
the jazzy bruin’s role grew. Plussed with a pewter cowlick on Mowgli, this irresistible sculpture highlights
the humorous and heartwarming jungle-born kinship between two of Walt Disney’s most cherished characters — the endearing Little Britches and his ever-lovin’
Papa Bear

Raised by a wolf pack, all 10-year-old Mowgli wants is to stay in the jungle. But Shere Khan, the tiger who hates men, has sworn he will kill the boy. So Mowgli's friends Bagheera, the panther, must take this man-cub to the man-village before it's too late. Along the way, Mowgli searches for a place to belong, adopting the life of an elephant, a bear, a monkey, even a vulture. Unfortunately, the naive Mowgli's friends often prove more dangerous than sincere. Angry at Bagheera and his adopted "papa bear," Baloo, for trying to take him from the jungle, Mowgli soon finds out that friends are the ones who tell you what you need to hear, even if it's not what you want to hear.

WALT DISNEY CLASSICS FIGURINES - The Classics Collection started in 1992 with three scenes, Bambi, Cinderella, and Fantasia's Sorcerer Apprentice. Many other series have since been introduced. Some figurines are limited, and some have been retired. Some of these figurines have risen high on the secondary market.
The figurines are made of porcelain, and the process is similar to that use to make Hummel figurines. Individual pieces are molded, put together, and fired in an oven. Then they are painted and fired again.
Each figurine is marked on the bottom, signifying the year it was produced. The marks represent significant milestones in Disney history. The figurines with the first year mark are usually the most desirable. |
