I so agree! I was always disappointed that Alexander had almost NO screentime in the show compared to other characters
I also wondered how an alternative story would have been, if Alexander would have never died ...

Alexander is definitly one of my fav wolf characters of this show, too It's sooo sad he had to die in this series ... I sometimes imagine, how any scenes could like shown, when Alexander would be still alive ...

You're not the only one When I watched this show as a kid the nearly whole time, I wanted to be a wolf, too because wolves (and also foxes) are my absolutly favorite animals

THHHHX!!!

This anime is sooo much better than the Disney movie, if you like more to see the wolves in it
Yeah, most of the wolves look a little strange there e.g. Lala, the granddaughter of Akela, is purple/ pink, her father (Akela's son) Vermillion is orange...

Alexander is a very nice character. I think it's very sad you don't see more of him in this show Only in the begining...
Thanks to this anime, I began to love wolves and thanks to Farthing Wood, I also began to love foxes

I'm a little bit surprised that this anime is so unknown here

THHHHX!!!

It's very sad that this anime isn't on TV now It was 2 or 3 years agon on TV in Germany and before it came on networks, I loved to watch it everytime since when I was like 3 years old
That's interesting to hear that Lala's father has another name in Finnish Actually (as far as I heard) his name is Vermillion (also in the German version)...
Mother Wolf (Luri) has mentioned some time that she liked Vermillion, too but at the end, she decides to live together with Alexander My favorit scene was when Vermillion returned to his old wolf pack and where then his pack was against Mowgli, because they made bad expierences with humans... Vermillion and Thunder were my favs of this pack

I had recorded the whole series from TV years ago, but meanwhile the tapes are almost broken It's sooo sad, that this show isn't out there on DVD
In my opinion this show is sooo much better than the Disney movie Because I love to see the wolves in there

I saw a Finnish opening on YT of it
Here's the link:

Unfortunately there are only any episodes in English and Hindi on YT meanwhile

THHHHHHHX soooo much again

yeah, I didn't know that Thunder-wolf's name in English, but I think I know who you are talking about, and Finnish-name is "Sanda"... I think it is stupid to change their names! Is there other names to Mowgli's brothers too? In Finnish their names are Sura (the grey one) and Saru (the brown one)...

On some net-page I once saw there was a picture of video tape, I mean not recorded video, about this series. But I haven't found this kind of videos anywhere. Neither more than DVD-version... _( Stupid...

Also many of my other "childhood favourites" are on the video, and also there voices are sometimes... hmm... disappeared. (For example so it has happened with Willy Fog and Babar...)

xero87 In reply to Cista-Nana [2009-02-01 18:40:47 +0000 UTC]

Yes, Thunder is the similar looking like wolf as Alexander (who is to see on Vermillion's side everytime)... I think to change their names is stupid, too
Sura is also in German and in the other languages and the brown one is called Akru actually The funny thing is that Akru is a girl in the German version A mistake from the producers, who thought he's a girl, because the Japanese language sounded girlie-like

I also loved Babar A further favorite childhood series
Yes, it's really annoying this awesome shows from those days aren't there on DVD And as we know, the tapes from VHS won't last long

Yeah, I have so, so, so many series and movies on VHS, and my video has broken some of them already, that I have a long time thought maybe I should re-record them from VHS to DVD... 'cause as we know, VHS isn't the best alternative for movies etc. xP

I watch this series since I was 3 years old It's an old show actually It came out 89 or 90 I think I didn't know it was an Anime before, too - but when you read the names of the producers in the outro, you see it's Japenese, so I guess it is an Anime

Yes, this show has any dramatic and sad scences in it, but this is exactly what I like on this series... Alexander's death was the dramaticst ones, I think, but the saddest scene I think, where I'm still crying everytime when I watch it, is Akela's death The most excited part was when Mowgli fighted against ShirKhan and killed him

I began to watch this series again, when I talked with an friend about the Disney Jungle Book movie In my opinion this show is sooo much better than the Disney version

Ghostbusterlover In reply to xero87 [2009-02-02 07:33:23 +0000 UTC]

89 or 90? Oh, then it wasn't so much old. And I don't remember the outro at all. :´D

I like dramatic and sad scenes too. But sometimes it's just too much. x´D Akela? Who was that again?

I think I'll watch it again, if I find it in the library. ^^ The Anime version is indeed much better than the Disney version (I didn't like the Disney version anyway).

Speaking about re-runs.. there's a cinema downtown that's going to show some old movies this Saturday, one of them is my favorite Marx Brothers film "A Day at the Races" - that B&W movie is from 1937!

The outro was nice to look... there you could see little pictures next to the names If I find it, I'll send you the link

Akela is the oldest wolf in this pack. And in the first way, he's the leader, too

I agree definitly I don't like the Disney version so much... It's too show-like... Not really like the original version one by Richard Kypling...
