You have to understand though that the live-action remake was meant to be more epic and more Hollywooded than the cartoon. The cartoon, however, was basically just a funhouse with a loose and jazzy atmosphere where the viewer expects the unexpected. So the sequel will probably be similar to the 2016 movie (though they MIGHT include some elements from the books in order to create conflict, such as the red dogs or something). Baloo was definitely more developed in the cartoon than in the remake, but I doubt the remake's sequel will really include much of his wacky and fun-loving fatherly personality. But more of his Bill Murray personality. lol

I don't see how Mowgli could teach Baloo the "tricks" (I'm still kind of wondering how Mowgli got his master's degree in engineering in the first place XD). Baloo doesn't even have thumbs to manipulate tools.

But don't get your hopes up too high. Disney has never had a lot of luck making sequels.
