They haven't done Tarzan and they haven't done a humanoid Lion King (which is actually Hamlet), so I don't see why they'd do the Jungle Book. If you're going to do one jungle story, you should do them all. Err… excuse me, but Tarzan is set in the west-African rainforest, the Lion King is set somewhere in the African savanna while the Jungle Book is set in the Indian jungle, which makes for wildly different and unrelated contexts. Now let's not assume everywhere outside the US is one and the same place, shall we?

You're excused. And you can continue to excuse yourself. Don't assume I'm stupid or don't know geography. I know Lion King and Tarzan are Africa (with Lion King taking place in Kenya, and Tarzan taking place in West Africa) while Jugle Book is India. You'd have to be a damn moron to assume that they take place in the same country, much less continent. But they do take place in the same setting. A jungle. Jungle Book and Tarzan take place entirely in the jungles of their respective settings, while Simba is raised in the Jungle by Timon and Pumbaa.

It wouldn't be that much of a stretch to place Hamlet (The Lion King's source material) in a jungle-bound kingdom, and then to mix and mash characters with Tarzan and Jungle book.

Learn some manners.
