Have you ever heard of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi? What are your thoughts on it?? 🐍 Link to watch the full movie is in the description! Thank y’all so much for all of your support on our Coco reaction!! ♥
33 years old and still one of my favorites. When I was a kid, the scene of Nag going into the bathroom made me scared to go to the bathroom at night. It wasn't until I was a little older I realized that the odds of a snake in my bathroom at all were slim to none.
Actually, this has no relation to Disney at all; it, and two other adaptations of Ruyard Kipling's stories were made by Chuck Jones to he released by CBS.
In addition to The White Seal, you should also check out these other cartoon films by Chuck Jones...The Phantom Tollbooth, Cricket in Times Square, Yankee Doodle Cricket, A Very Merry Cricket. All classics!
You guys are adorably indecisive. I'll have to ask my Younger Brother if he & his Daughter do the same kind of thing. :-D Now, I'm sure that other people in the comments have told you that Orson Wells did the Narration for this Cartoon, but Rod Serling, the creator of the 'Twilight Zone' TV series is the voice they borrow for the TZ Haunted Mansion ride at Disney. (JUST in case someone didn't mention it. ^_^) As for this Cartoon, there ARE much better quality transfers out there, but I don't know if showing them on TH-cam is held to a different standard. However, the copy at Archiveorg is good enough. The original story was written back in 1894, and in regards to your comment, Danielle, about someone 'reinterpreting it so that Rikki is the Bad Guy', though the seeds of Postmodernism/Relativism certainly already existed that long ago, they were not yet the foundation of modern culture. So back then, most people still believed that Objective Truth existed, Personal Feelings did not determine reality and everything was NOT a 'Social Construct.' I first saw this cartoon on TV in a Rerun, so probably about 1977, when I was 6. It brought me to tears. Not because it was scary, not because I was afraid Rikki would die, but because of something that, as a child, was understood by me, but I was incapable of expressing it. Even now, I don't know how many people have had this experience, so relating to it may be difficult- It is the feeling you get when you see, for the first time, your Enemy, and you KNOW, right down to the Tip of your Bushy Tail that they ARE your Enemy, and you were born to fight them.
That was great! I have never seen this adaptation, but i have read the book, along with the old and new jungle book. Great stuff! Tells u many history things about old colonial british india too between the lines.
I watched this all the time as a kid in the nineties. We had it on VHS. I wish the audio quality was better, but the whole movie really holds up. Artistic and stylized, epic and heartwarming. It sticks in your imagination. I hope you do inspire others to watch it for the first time!
Thank you so much for reviewing OLD SCHOOL Animations. Even if they are short. I remember reading this before I saw the toon. Its parts of Ruyard KIpling's books. The man created quiet a pantheon of characters emerging from the Indian fauna. And of course you know his work "The Jungle Book." Rikki Tikki is one of his lesser known works. I think the cartoon is cute, short but still heart warming. I think if it was longer, audiences would bond more with Rikki and his friends.
Don’t know if you will see this after 6 months but I just discovered you, and I have some recommendations: Modern: Very Potter Musical (not copyrighted) Vintage: 1776 (copyrighted) for the 4th of July

Love this movie.
I haven't seen this since it came out! LOL ITS A GREAT SHOW!!!
Im 56 years old and watched it every year when it was played . I bought the DVD for my niece's kids and they love it.
Aw that is so sweet! I’ve been hearing from more people that they grew up with it. I’m happy my dad showed it to me!
I'm almost 50. I grew up with this cartoon ON TV! It taught us a lot about loyalty. And it did traumatize us a little. But not negatively.
Rikki-tikki tavi is one of my favorite childhood I watched as a kid

This is my favorite thing Chuck Jones did haven't seen in years thanks for showing it.
This was narrated by Orson Welles.
I had this on a VHS that we taped it from TV and on the same tape we had H.R. Puffinstuff the movie. It was an insane duble feature.
As a kid I loved this cartoon. But as a snake lover I still can’t help but feel bad for the cobra babies he kills
Saw it at when i was 4 and read it when i was 32 i love both
This was my favorite Disney story as a kid. Love it!

This amazing Chuck Jones cartoon might have been my gateway drug into scarier stuff like Gremlins. I still love it 🥰
A Chuck Jones classic (You know, the Loony Tunes guy)
Whaaat? 🤯 Just looked up Chuck Jones’ filmography list. Wow! Lots of classics!
Can't find it anywhere. Now not available in the US. WTF?

Thank you for your kind comment! Yes, If it was longer, I would've liked hearing more songs from the bird, Darzee 🎶😊
I also liked The Wite Seal
