Well, it was about what you’d expect from a British colonialist writing about India. It was interesting to read the stories behind the Disney film, but the ones not included in the film weren’t as memorable. In general, I was a bit surprised by how violent and gruesome it was at times. I will give Kipling that he created some very iconic characters, though.
Graphic: Violence
Moderate: Fire/Fire injury, Child abuse, Racism, Abandonment, Animal death, and Colonisation
Minor: War and Gun violence
