The Jungle Book of Vultures was based on the Beatles.
The Jungle Book of Vultures was based on the Beatles. Disney’s rich history is replete with instances where you might look at a character in their movies and sense a familiar resemblance to real-life figures. Disney often draws inspiration from actual people to create its characters. Take, for example, the vultures from The Jungle Book. These feathered characters are modeled after none other than The Beatles. In fact, Disney even intended to have the Liverpool band voice the four birds. However, this plan didn’t come to fruition because John Lennon declined the opportunity to star in an animated feature at that time.
The vultures’ striking resemblance to The Beatles serves as a delightful Easter egg for keen-eyed viewers, showcasing Disney’s penchant for infusing its animated world with nods to popular culture and real-life personalities.
