I wonder if the Jungle Book thing might be a bit iffy for us snowflakes? You think that it will be scarier than Dracula? Personally, I hate seeing animals die. Even disney style. I'm sure the Soviets would outdo Walt. Don't, under any circumstances, watch Bambi. |

This cartoon is still pretty good. I can suggest something else, of course. On the other way, Anne is fine with it. Is there a happier story you could suggest? Wild Swans. As in Hans Christian Anderson? But I would really like to see the Jungle Book. Even if animals die. Yes, this cartoon is based on his story. It's a great story - and no swans actually die, as far as I can remember. That's a sine qua non for us, I think |

I wonder if the Jungle Book thing might be a bit iffy for us snowflakes? How about the Greek one next, and the Jungle Book afterwards, if you want to watch the Greek one. What is it, anyway? If you want to watch Mowgli, here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPkNG...mp;t=2929s Oh, thank you! I was just about to suggest that, seeing as the others aren't keen. By the way, Bagheera is female for two reasons. First, the word panther is feminine in Russian. Second, Bagheera sounds like female name for us. |

I've just had a quick look at Soviet mowgli. I was expecting blood guts and misery. Are you sure it won't be good at Xmas?

Right, I think a sort-of plan may have emerged from the smog. We'll be eating Greek next week. Tzatziki on standby. |

It sounds like a female name to me too - but I think that in the book he's male. Kaa the snake is a much more positive character in the book. |

And Kaa is not bad in this cartoon. |
