Topic: Tag Implication: jungle_book -> disney

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

-1. The Jungle Book is not a Disney product. Disney simply obtained the rights to it for a period of time and made their content based on it. Mowgli, Baloo, Kaa, etc are all from the original story, which was written by Rudyard Kipling.

Actually it's a book by Rudyard Kipling from XIX century.
Which Disney's movie is loosely based on. As it is often the case with Disney movies.

In particular, this post may very well be of the original character, not the Disney one:

There's also a Soviet movie, based on the same book but very different from the Disney's. Notably featuring female Bagheera because of linguistic issues. And I think there were posts here based on *that* adaptation and not on Disney's.

while we are at it, we probably should think about unimplicating the *an old book or generic fairytale that disney made a movie of* -> disney implications (like the little mermaid, aladdin, 101 dalmatians)

not to mention all posts with this tag to date are disney-related.

Nope, there's others. Such as these:
post #424768 post #765359 post #437401

Admittedly, those weren't tagged as Jungle Book, despite being tagged as bagheera (jungle book). That should be implicated.

There's also some posts that clearly feature the original Mowgli, not the Disney version. Such as the one that hslugs posted.

Make a jungle_book_(disney) tag instead, and implicate it to jungle_book. Same format as the robin_hood_(disney) tag.

Theres a handful of classic Disney movies that drew inspiration from other sources, so simply tagging them as Disney wouldnt be correct if the picture isnt related to Disney as already stated. Most of them were old folk tales and were public domain.
Cinderella
The Legend of Sleepy Hallow
Peter Pan
Robin Hood
Sleeping Beauty
Frog Prince
The Little Mermaid
Mulan
Aladdin
Beauty and the Beast
ect
