I found it!
We’ve been preparing for a school play “The Jungle Book” in the Disney version. I decided to dig out the classic by Rudyard Kipling and conduct a literary circles with various selections with the two groups. Interestingly, neither the younger group, nor the older group knew that the Disney version was not the original (except for one or two younger students).
This whole time, I’ve been recalling the cartoon version of “Rikki Tikki Tavi” narrated by Orsen Wells, wondering if I could ever locate it. Instead of doing the dishes this evening, I’m watching the cartoon online at this site. I apologize for the advertisements and such. I hope you enjoy a stroll down memory lane if you remember watching this cartoon as a child. (
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi
Posted Dec 10, 2006
Narrated by Orson Wells, this animated cartoon is an adaptation of a short story titled “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi” from The Jungle Book (1894) by Rudyard Kipling.
I hope you enjoy it!

HI
I teach Rikki at the start of the year with my sixth graders, so I can expose them to the concepts of protagonist and antagonist, and the importance of setting, and so they can just enjoy a thrilling story as read-aloud. We do watch the video later on and that is always fun for them, too.
Take care
Kevin
