** It's a small moment, but before they part ways, Brydon instructs Mowgli to bring his daughter back. There's a brief [[{{Beat}} pause]] before he realizes how demanding the tone sounds and adds a humble "...please". Brydon's not usually one to show vulnerability, but not only is he swallowing his pride for the sake of his daughter, but it's also to acknowledge Mowgli as a friend than if he were a mere foot soldier.
* Even though it's in the midst of learning Sher Khan is on the prowl, there's a tender moment when Mowgli whispers to Kitty that he plans to escape so he can draw the tiger away from her. He then assures her [[ThePromise he'll come back for her when this is all over]].
** We also get this exchange between her and Boone when their party number is dwindling, strongly implying that she has that much faith in Mowgli to not be afraid she'll go the way of Boone's men:
-->'''Boone:''' You could die too, you know.
-->'''Kitty:''' (Unfazed) [[BadassBoast He won't let me]].

** Unfortunately, this quickly turns into a TearJerker courtesy of a jealous Boone, who gets Brydon to announce the engagement between Kitty and Boone while Wilkins and several of Boone's men humiliate Mowgli by knocking him into a table of food, provoking an ashamed Mowgli to return back to the jungle. On the [[{{Reconstruction}} plus side]], this also demonstrates Kitty's loyalty to Mowgli, as she [[EverybodyHasStandards crossly]] breaks off her relationship with Boone for chasing off Mowgli.

** What's more, when Shere Khan sees Mowgli as a resident of the jungle, he ''chuffs''. When tigers chuff, it's a non-aggressive greeting. If anything, this is a lovely, subtle indication that his accepting Mowgli is ''not'' with reluctance. Aside from the chuffs, Shere Khan also moans as an apology for killing Nathoo, as he initially had no intention of killing Nathoo and only did it in self-defense.

* The dinner ballroom scene. Mowgli, dressed in a nice white nehru suit with a white turban, genuinely thanks Dr. Plumford for inviting him over. Mowgli starts to enjoy the song (The Blue Danube Waltz) that the band is performing, right before Kitty offers to dance with him. Mowgli happily engages in dancing with Kitty, reflecting on the time when they hang out as children. Unfortunately, this is cut short by a jealous Boone, who gets Brydon to announce the engagement between Kitty and Boone while Wilkins and several of Boone's men humiliate Mowgli by knocking him into a table of food, provoking an ashamed Mowgli to return back to the jungle and an angry Kitty to break off her relationship with Boone.
* After Mowgli [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe saves Colonel Brydon's life]], Colonel Brydon gratefully affirms to Mowgli that any man that can count Mowgli as a friend is very fortunate. This was lampshaded earlier in the film when a young Mowgli managed to save Brydon's life by calming down the elephant that Brydon was riding on when Shere Khan roared in anger over Buldeo's actions, prompting an impressed Brydon to thank the boy for his bravery. Even better, Brydon considers Nathoo to be a close friend who died protecting others.

** When Mowgli defeated Kaa (who slithers away) inside King Louie's treasure cavern, King Louie was very upset, but decided to accept defeat by returning the same bracelet (which one of the Bandar log monkeys previously stole) back to Mowgli; Louie even allowed Mowgli to keep the golden dagger that he used against Kaa as a reward for his bravery.
