Last scene of the Jungle Book

Noah and I borrowed Disney's Jungle Book from the library. We were pretty excited about watching it and we enjoyed most of the movie as the family. Jonah was afraid during the fight scene with Shere Khan. And though he watched the last scene perfectly quietly, when I tried to watch it again to show it to Grace he started flipping out and I had to turn it off and that was that.
That last scene is so great and so loaded. Again maybe I don;t agree with everything it says, but I still love the scene. There is such a strong pull from the Jungle, a world where magical animals sing and dance, where there is danger but it is also adventure and everyone is fine, until they are not and you don't really think about that because you just keep moving forward, and in the Disney world, in song and dance.  Then there is world of man, which is our world, a world of reality... but that world has girls and for Mogli the there are no girls in the Jungle. And it is the girl who draws Mogli into adulthood and the world of man which in the Disney movie ,is a world from which he can never return.

There is something beautiful about this scene for adults, who are already in the world of man, in the world of adults, and the movie represents a little trip back into childhood. But for children, watching it is perhaps unnerving and disturbing and yet there really is no explanation why. Nobody dies. The whole goal of the movie is to get Mogli to that village after all. But Jonah was freaking out about having to watch that scene again so much. Because in a way, the entire Jungle dies for Mogli once he crosses that threshold, no more of Baloo singing the bare necessities and any of that. Not for Mogli anyway.
