There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
"Open your eyes Pckts. Neither Rudyard Kipling, nor Walt Disney, nor Jon Favreau stated the species of Baloo. Unless of course, a "sleepy brown bear" was a reference to his species. Look at these pictures and then try to convince us that Baloo is a small, black, shaggy bear who sucks up ants and termites. I suspect that you are either in dire need of an optometrist or you are simply very unbear-savy. "
Hahah
Is this serious?
The movie is directed by Jon Favreau and in HIS movie, Baloo is a Sloth bear. The screen play for THIS movie was written by Justin Marks and his adaption has baloo as a Sloth bear.
What are you trying to argue about?
No body cares that you don't think they look right, it doesn't change what Baloo is nor does it change the wolves or Louie.
DISNEY's Roll Call
"Baloo the Sloth bear"
So, between choosing between your interpretation compared to the Actual movie, I think I'll go with the latter.
