A human child raised by wolves, must face off against a menacing tiger named Shere Khan, as well as his own origins.
The film's central conflict highlights the destructive impact of human activity on the natural world and advocates for the protection of the jungle, aligning with environmentalist and anti-exploitation themes.
The movie features culturally appropriate casting for its lead human characters, set in India. While a traditionally male animal character is voiced by a female actress, the overall casting does not involve explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white human roles. The narrative includes a white male hunter as a primary antagonist, representing destructive human forces, but the film's central theme is not an explicit critique of traditional identities.
The character Kaa, a python who is canonically male in Rudyard Kipling's original 'The Jungle Book' stories, is portrayed as female in 'Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle' (2018), voiced by Cate Blanchett.
Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on Mowgli's integration into the jungle and human worlds, without exploring queer identities or experiences.
The film 'Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on Mowgli's journey within the animal kingdom, with no elements related to transgender identity present in the plot or character arcs, thus resulting in no depiction.
The film features female characters such as Kaa and Nisha. Kaa is a mystical python who offers guidance, and Nisha is a wolf who acts as Mowgli's adoptive mother. Neither character is depicted engaging in or winning direct physical combat against one or more male opponents.
Mowgli, the central human character, is portrayed by an actor of Indian descent, consistent with the character's established background in the Indian jungle. The animal characters are not subject to the definition of a race swap.
