Bagheera the panther, though male in the original story, is portrayed as female in this film, as in the Russian translation of the novel.
In the US, a dubbed English version of the animation was released on video in 1996 under the title "The Adventures of Mowgli".
In the animation, Mowgli's hand-to-hand duel with Sher-Khan is added - in the book the tiger simply died under the hooves of bulls.
In the 1980s, the animation film was produced in the USSR on VHS videotapes with the publication "Video program of the USSR State Goskino".
In 2002, the film was restored and reissued on DVD by the company "Krupniy Plan".
