Bruce Reitherman

1

Natural and relaxed: His voice as Mowgli in The Jungle Book sounds real because Disney let him speak naturally instead of making him use a fake “cartoon” voice. Curious and adventurous: He grew up around filmmaking and nature because his father, Wolfgang Reitherman, worked at Disney. More shy than outgoing: He seemed more like a normal kid than a Hollywood celebrity child. Easygoing during recording: His performance worked because he was basically being himself, which made Mowgli feel believable.
