Eartha Kitt (Bagheera) voiced more cat characters after this movie, which were Kuzco, l'empereur mégalo (2000) and Wonder Choux ! (2006).
In one scene, Baloo (Brian Doyle-Murray) calls Bagheera by the name of "Catwoman", which was the name of a character Eartha Kitt played on Batman (1966).
This is the only Disney Jungle Book movie to not feature King Louie or Kaa.
This is the only Jungle Book movie to have the animals not moving their lips and beaks to talk, but rather as voice-overs, similar to Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey (1993).
Brian Doyle-Murray, Clancy Brown and Dee Bradley Baker would later star in the animated show Bob l'éponge (1999) as the voices of The Flying Dutchman, Mr. Krabs and Squilliam Fancyson, respectively.
