Disney 1960's The Jungle Book Charm
Bracelet Pre-Production Prototype
This listing is for a rare prototype bracelet -
from Disney's 1965 Animated feature The Jungle Book! Unique and
one of a kind! The charm bracelet made it to production and, although a
bit scarce, can be found. The bracelet is gold tone with enameled
color on each charm. There are four figures:
Baby Elephant
Shere Khan the Tiger
Baloo The Bear
King Louie
The bracelet is about 6 1/4" in length
(child size). All of the charms are stamped " Walt Disney Productions" on
the back side. From here - the production packing starts diverging.
The most obvious difference is that King Louie is completely missing from
the production artwork! The artwork insert is flat without
folds. The logo has "Walt Disney Presents" added. Kaa has his
slithering tongue exposed. And most curiously - Mowgli has gone from
having a relaxing nice day to looking like someone has eaten the last of
the Sugar Frosted Flakes! We personally like the pre-production
version much better. Hopefully, that Disney Product Manager didn't
keep their job long! Here are some reference images of the
production version:
