Bagheera (Hindi: ????? ; Urdu: ?????? ? Bagh? r? / Bag dah ) is a fictitious character in Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli story in the Jungle Book (coll 1894 ) and the Second Jungle Book (coll.1895). He is a black leopard (the melanistic leopard of India) who serves as a friend, patron and mentor for Mowgli's "man-cub". The word bagheera is Hindi/Urdu for black panther - even though the basic word bagh means tiger. The name Shere Khan is loosely translated as a great king, probably from the forest, but does not mention the name of the "tiger" animal. Perhaps because Bagheera declared himself to be stronger and more virulent even than the famous tiger, he felt entitled to Bagheera's name while Shere Khan was ridiculed, in Kipling's original work, such as Lungri or "the paralyzed."
"Everyone knows Bagheera, and no one dares to cross his path, because he is as cunning as Tabaqui, as tough as a wild buffalo, and hoarse a wounded elephant, but he has a soft voice like wild honey dripping from a tree, and skin softer than dawn. "

Born in captivity at the zoo of King Udaipur, Rajasthan, India, Bagheera began to plan for his freedom after his mother died. Once he was mature and strong enough, he broke the key in his cage and fled to the forest, where his cruel and cunning nature won the respect of all his other inhabitants, including Shere Khan. Bagheera revealed all this to Mowgli later. None but Mowgli once learned that Bagheera once wore collars and chains, explaining the cat's special insights about men. Bagheera's brief description of his imprisonment and his escape is this: "I have never seen a forest They feed me behind bars until one night I feel that I am Bagheera - Panther - and no men's toys, and I break the silly key with one blows the soles of my feet and goes away, and because I have learned the ways of men, I become more horrible in the woods than Shere Khan. "Because he has studied the ways of men, he also loves the abandoned human children who come to be under care and protection.
? According to the Wikipedia page about the leopard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopard), typical leopard junk consists of 2-4 tails. It is not mentioned that Bagheera has a living sibling, but it is unlikely she is the only child born to her mother during their captivity. The fate of his father and brother or other potential female is not revealed by Kipling or the adaptation of the movie "The Jungle Books." At least in the 1967 Disney film, Bagheera ensured that Mowgli was placed in the care of a wolf mother "blessed with little puppies," to give her not only parents but also brothers and sisters. These brothers took a significant role in Kipling's original short stories, a famous character called Gray Brother.
When Wolves 'and Wolves' Fathers from the Wolves Seeonee pack (Seoni) adopted the human Mowgli "cub" and the package demanded that the new boy be pronounced, Bagheera bought Mowgli's life with a recently murdered bull and helped raise him as a pack. Since his life had been bought by a bull, Mowgli was forbidden to eat cattle (incidentally, as Hindu villagers in the area were also banned). Bagheera often reminded Mowgli of this debt by taking an oath referring to his previous detention. When Bagheera swore, "With a broken key that frees me," Mowgli replied back "By the bull that bought me."
At one point, during one of Mowgli's lessons at Laws of the Jungle under the guidance of Baloo the Bear, Bagheera said, "I am more likely to give help than to ask," because Mowgli learned many sacred words needed to call upon the help of all types of animal species who live in the forest. Bagheera, having freed himself from human captivity, is an arrogant animal who is aware of his own abilities and ferocity among other animals in the forest, though he acknowledges the Mowgli power that grows on each of them as the child grows up. Bagheera shows Mowgli that no animal is looking into his eyes, even those who love him.
Bagheera shares in many of Mowgli's adventures as he grows, but ultimately the time comes when little humans become human and must return to human society. Bagheera frees Mowgli from his debt to the wolf pack by killing another bull, and Mowgli returns to his foster mother, Messua.
Bagheera is one of Mowgli's mentors and friends. She, Baloo and Kaa sing for Mowgli "The Outsong" from the forest. He also called Mowgli at the farewell, "Remember, Bagheera loves you... Remember, Bagheera loves you."

Media depictions
In some films and television series the adaptation of Jungle Book Bagheera is Indian leopard. In another appearance, it has black pigmentation, which is why it is often referred to as a black panther.
Disney animated version
In Disney's 1967 animated adaptation, Bagheera panther, as in a book, male, and voiced by Sebastian Cabot. Panther is described as a smart, mature, and logical character, very similar to Bagheera in books. In the movie, it is Bagheera and not the first wolf to find Mowgli, a young village boy. This is Bagheera who takes Mowgli to wolf care and ensures that the baby survives. He is also the man who brought him back to the village, for his own salvation, because he knew for years that Mowgli finally had to leave his adopted animal family to return to its place in the human world. During the film, Bagheera often reviews Baloo, because he knows that as long as Shere Khan is in the forest, the forest is not safe for Mowgli despite all Baloo's efforts to protect it. Bagheera is also the narrator of this movie story.
? The 1967 cartoon movie scene of "The Jungle Books" is Walt Disney's final film, though he died before he could finish the finished film. According to a short documentary video about filming, available on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhAZEDiKSsM&t=13s), Disney tells screenwriters and artists to forget what they've read in the story Kipling's original - the direction he wants for his movie is a different approach. Although the original concept of art is described as "dark," Walt Disney removes the pictures for the sake of a strange scene, jungle music. Bagheera's past is one of the dark elements that Disney has set aside in movies. The violence of Kipling's story is also weakened. Bagheera, for example, never physically faced Shere Khan in the 1967 film although Baloo defended Mowgli while a black panther protector protected the boy. No scars were seen on the Disney cartoon images from Bagheera to hint at his charming past.
Bagheera is also one of the main characters left of the TaleSpin series that uses some of the characters of the Jungle Book. However, many employees and military personnel Shere Khan is a black beetle very similar to his appearance with Bagheera.
In the pre-run cartoons of Jungle Cubs, Bagheera is voiced by Elizabeth Daily and Dee Bradley Baker, and is often ridiculed by her friends, especially Shere Khan's troublemaker. He is also called "Baggy" by Baloo. Like Shere Khan and Hathi, he also has an English accent in the 1967 film, but has an American accent in this series.
In The Jungle Book 2 , he is voiced by Bob Joles and reappears as a mature Bagheera. He tries to argue with the depressed Baloo that Mowgli's place is in Man Village, and that the forest is not safe for him because Shere Khan has returned to take revenge on Mowgli for embarrassing him. Baloo believes that with their help, Mowgli can handle the tiger a second time, and passes through Bagheera. Frustrated, he summoned Colonel Hathi and his troops to block the Baloo road. When the villagers tried to find Mowgli, he suspected that Baloo had brought him back. Bagheera confronts Baloo with news and expresses his thoughts that maybe he has seen it. Baloo hides Mowgli from Bagheera and convinces Bagheera that he is not with him. Bagheera does not fully believe this. He then joins Mowgli's younger adoptive sister, Ranjan and Baloo as they rush to rescue Mowgli from Shere Khan. When they reach a temple built on a lava lake, Bagheera waits outside with Ranjan and warns Baloo to be careful before he goes inside to help Mowgli. After Shere Khan was trapped, Mowgli introduced Bagheera to Shanti, the girl who was Mowgli's best friend in the village. Toward the end of the film, Ranjan is shown playing with Bagheera's tail. At first Bagheera was scared, but he then enjoyed playing with him while Mowgli, Shanti, and Baloo sang the reprise of "The Bare Necessities".
Disney live action movie 1994
In the live-action movie of 1994, (described by a black Jaguar named Shadow) Bagheera serves as a friend of the forest beast to Mowgli and his favorite wolf, Gray Brother. After Mowgli and Gray Brother were separated from civilization, Bagheera found them the next day. Hearing the thunder of Shere Khan from a distance, Bagheera signaled with his tail to Mowgli to grab it so as to get him out of danger. It took a while until Bagheera finally brought Mowgli and Gray Brother to a group of Indian Gray wolves. Because the boy was young, friendly, helpless, harmless, and friendly to his children, the wolves accepted him as a member of the group, which delighted Bagheera.
Years later, Bagheera was seen most often spending time in the tree and sometimes running with Mowgli's adult, Buffalo Brother, and a new friend named Baloo, the bear, who was saved as his son by Mowgli on that day Mowgli was accepted into a pack of wolves.
A few days later, after Mowgli had learned the ways of man and re-entered civilization thanks to Katherine "Kitty" Brydon and Dr. Julius Plumford, Bagheera was seen introduced to Kitty by Mowgli along with all other Mowgli forest animal friends. Bagheera and the other animals watched as Kitty taught Mowgli some dancing lessons, greatly entertaining them.
In the ensuing struggle against the soldiers who worked for Captain Boone, Baloo was shot and left to die. Bagheera is then seen walking with Mowgli and the wolf to find Dr. Julius Plumford to save Baloo's life, only to find that the doctor has gone with Kitty and his father, Colonel Geoffrey Brydon, to bring Katherine to the ship to England. Mowgli comes out and follows them with a wolf, leaving Bagheera behind. After rescuing Dr Plumford from the dead, Bagheera was seen crashing along with a pack of wolves against Indian bandits.
After Mowgli was captured by the evil British soldiers - Boone, Lieutenant Wilkins, and Sergeant Harley - and the remaining Indian bandits - Buldeo and Tabaqui - Bagheera were seen with wolves watching over Mowgli, his friends, and enemies while staring at Boone and Wilkins mostly. When Wilkins asked himself why Bagheera was staring at them, Mowgli replied, "Because of him, you are 'food'." The reply was a hint after that when Bagheera stuck out his tongue to show his hunger to them. The next morning, Bagheera was seen biting the ropes that tied Mowgli to the tree, allowing him to escape, and later in the day, to rescue the wounded Colonel Brydon who had been abandoned from the dead.
In the final scene, after Boone's defeat, Bagheera was seen crossing the bridge with the triumphant Kitty and Mowgli as he reunited with the British Army sent by Colonel Brydon, who had recovered from his wounds. Plumford (who also managed to heal Baloo), to find him.
Disney's live action movie 2016
Ben Kingsley voiced CG characters in direct action films in 2016. In an interview with Ben Kingsley about his role as Bagheera, Kingsley describes Bagheera as Mowgli's adoptive parent, saying that his role in Mowgli's life was "to educate, protect and guide". Kingsley further describes Bagheera as analogous to the military in his personality, particularly a Colonel; said that "he is instantly recognizable by the way he speaks, how he acts, and what his code of ethics is". In this film, Bagheera plays the role of mentor Mowgli and rescues her after Shere Khan kills the boy's father. He continues to protect Mowgli and teaches him to be a forest creature and a werewolf led by Akela. When Shere Khan threatens Mowgli's life, Bagheera agrees to guide him to villages where he can safely live with other humans. However, on the way, Shere Khan ambushed them. Bagheera fought Shere Khan and although he was beaten and lightly wounded by a tiger, he gave Mowgli enough time to escape. They did not reunite until some time later, when Mowgli helped Baloo collect honey (in return for Baloo who saved him from the python, Kaa) and announced he wanted to stay with Baloo, much to Bagheera's disappointment. Bagheera then talks to Baloo and after explaining the boy's difficulties and tells Baloo to lie to Mowgli and tells him that they have never been friends so to make sure he ends up living in a male village. However, before this plan could be implemented, a group of monkeys led by King Louie, arrested Mowgli to try to learn the secret of fire. Working together, Bagheera and Baloo fight the monkeys long enough for Mowgli to hide from King Louie, and the resulting pursuit causes the death of the monkey king. After Akela's death by Shere Khan's hand reaches Mowgli, the boy is angry with Bagheera and Baloo for keeping the news from him. He then escaped and stole a burning torch from a male village (accidentally starting a forest fire in the process), and returned to the forest to get Akela's revenge. Bagheera helps Baloo and the werewolf fight with Shere Khan long enough to allow Mowgli to set up a trap for the tiger, allowing Mowgli to lure him over the fiery hole where he falls to his death. Afterwards, Bagheera was last seen sitting with Baloo and Mowgli, who had found his true home in the woods.
Reception
While Disney's films and adaptations for decades have strayed away from Kipling's original character, it is important to note that the character of Bagheera changed slightly. As the review snippet below shows, the first Disney to take on Kipling's work is nothing like the story. The names of the characters remain the same, but the characteristics of those characters are generally taken over in a new touch of music. Bagheera, though his captivity is unmentioned and his ferocity is underestimated for the watchful children, remains as proud, refined, and protective of Mowgli as he appears in Kipling.
"What do you think of Kipling? I do not know.I've never Kippled - Victorian joke Judging from The Jungle Book, the last film that he watched personally, Walt Disney never Kippled as well.Almost no lines are left of those stories , about Mowgli, an Indian "boy-boy" raised by animals, like the other Disney adaptations of classical children, The Jungle Book is based on the original Kipling in the same way that the fox hunt is based on fox. fun. "
The above review is from April 15, 2016, Time Review Magazine of The Jungle Book 1967 (http://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,841219,00.html).
Bagheera's portrayal and acting voice Ben Kingsley are praised in the 2016 film. Rotten Tomatoes for critics James Berardinelli states: "Ben Kingsley brings the right level of gravity to the strait-shaped Bagheera". Todd VanDerWerff of Vox gave Bagheera the top spot on the rankings of all the animals speaking from the film from the best to the worst: "Because of the nature of the story, Bagheera must be set aside for a while - so Mowgli is forced to face the dangers of the forest alone - but the this fairy tale really made me feel the absence of a cat.It's a good sign "" -I was iterating from The Jungle Book just as good as Bagheera.He was the concerned parent, worried about what his son would find next corner, the big cat who knew he should release it a bit but can not find it alone to do it.
Other media
- In the 1967 Soviet animated film, Mowgli Adventure , Bagheera is described as female. This may be related to the fact that the Russian word for "panther" is a feminine noun, and the name ending in 'a' is considered the female name in Russian (the panther beast will be named Bagheer). In this version, he has three children, one black and two yellow with a rosette pattern. Bagheera is described as friendly, loyal, trustworthy, and protective, yet somewhat cunning and difficult.
- In the 1991 song "Bagheera" by the Blues Traveler, Bagheera is depicted with a bloodstained drink in a bar, advising a young man about his choice to live as a human being or as a free being. Mowgli remembers when he is in the midst of his decision to live with the Human world or return to the forest and be free. The sentence says "some say if you can see it later, you will realize tears fall from his great eyes."
- In the 1996 version of the Hungarian drama, Bagheera again became a female panther. His main role was to bribe wolves with a bull, so they accepted Mowgli as Akela's foster children, taught Mowgli with Baloo about the Jungle Rules, and advised him throughout the show.
- In the 1998 movie The Jungle Book: The Story of Mowgli , Bagheera is described as a woman, voiced by Eartha Kitt.
- In the comic book series 2002 Fables , Bagheera appears as one of the characters living in exile at Farm in upstate New York. He participated in the agricultural rebellion and, along with other "Kipling" tales, he helped Goldilocks in tracking down Reynard the Fox. Bagheera really managed to track down Reynard, though Fox managed to escape from him. This implies that Bagheera's main motivation for capturing Fox is to show Shere Khan after Khan arrogantly refuses Bagheera's offer of help. After the uprising was defeated, Bagheera regretted agreeing to imprisonment rather than forced labor. However, as he reveals to Mowgli, he has a memory of urinating in Shere Khan's dead tomb to amuse him.
- A 2007 Swedish drama version of The Jungle Book forged Bagheera's sex confusion in the media by describing her as a transvestite.
- In the upcoming 2018 film, Christian Bale will unveil Bagheera.
