I know Baloo is supposed to be very realistic and be both based on his book series's counterpart and his Disney counterpart and possibly not be the heart of the movie. But that doesn't stop him from dancing on his two legs occasionally and acting very funny and act fatherly to Mowgli in place of Akela (No offense about Akela being out of the picture and Baloo taking his place as Mowgli's father). I just feel that Mowgli and Baloo may deserve to tease each other and love each other as both BFF's and father and son bond, and also be like meh like Bill Murray sometimes.

Another thing, I feel like Mowgli can't have all the hero stuff to himself. Baloo deserves being the movie's hero too, I mean where was he when the Water Truce began? He wasn't around. Maybe becasue he was an outcast and the jungle's biggest loser (no wonder being called the stupid jungle bum and there's gotta be a story there) and the very last time they even talked was when Baloo lied to Mowgli saying that they were never friends and that he doesn't want him around anymore and there was no special moment together, there was no "I couldn't done it without you", no embracing, no nothing after Baloo's lie. I just feel that Mowgli can't have all the spotlight for himself but share with Baloo who also happens to be the hero as well
