bullet::::- bill murray as baloo: a bear who encounters and befriends mowgli. favreau had murray in mind to voice baloo since the beginning of the project. “he’s perfect,” says the director. “bill just exudes all the charm and humor that you need and expect from baloo. he has a certain dryness and a rebellious quality.” he had also always wanted to work with murray, having been a huge fan of his work, though he has been aware of how hard it is to contact him. fortunately for favreau, he was able to get a hold of murray, and he agreed to come on board, with favreau going on to comment that “once he came aboard, he was incredibly passionate. he has a very high standard.”. “i just couldn’t say no to playing baloo,” says murray. “jon [favreau] is a terrific storyteller and i’m such a huge fan of the original stories. kipling wrote a lot of amazing stuff. i read that book when i was about 22 and i’ve always thought that it was just extraordinary writing.”
the jungle book (2016 film)
baloo von bruinwald xiii (voiced by ed gilbert) is the main character of the series, based primarily on the sloth bear from disney's "the jungle book", but with a flight cap and a yellow shirt (and four-fingered hands instead of his "jungle book" counterpart's claws). although lazy, slobbish, unreliable and always broke, he is also an excellent pilot and capable of the most daring maneuvers in the air. he flies a cargo plane called the "sea duck". he will also selflessly come to the aid of those in need of help. his irresponsible behavior sometimes jeopardizes important situations, as seen in the episode "your baloo's in the mail" when he fails to mail a winning ticket in the proper way, which puts rebecca's ability to receive $100,000 in prize money at risk. he also has a penchant for getting into schemes that require him to dress up in drag to suit the situation, such as when he became rebecca's "female" co-pilot tan-margaret (a play on ann-margret) in the episode "feminine air". some of his mannerisms survive from "the jungle book", including his nickname of "papa bear" by kit, which mowgli had given to him. he also calls kit "li'l britches", as he did with mowgli. in the first part of the episode "a bad reflection on you", baloo gives his full name as "baloo bear" when introducing himself to a guard at khan tower. however, in the episode "the balooest of the bluebloods", it is revealed that baloo comes from a prominent noble family and that baloo's full designation is in fact "baloo, baron von bruinwald xiii". however, he himself had been initially unaware, which raises the possibility that he was adopted. in this episode, he inherited $500 million in the form of an extravagant estate, which was taken from him to settle the matter of his family's impressively long history of owing back taxes, thus restoring the status quo. baloo only once mentioned any family, in reference to a gramophone record that had belonged to his father. the name "baloo" comes from the hindi word for bear: "bhālū" (, pronounced ).
