  • Release date :
    Sweden - December 9, 1968
  • Oddly, the official Swedish credits never mention Carl-Eric Hellström (Shere Khan singing).
  • Because of cost of budget, the mixing of the Swedish version was done in Rome. (source Dagens Nyheter)
  • The site Disneyania mentions the singer Bert-Åke Varg for the song "That's What Friends Are For", while Dubbningshemsidan (source) only mentions the voices of the Vultures.
  • Ulla "Sniff" Neumann, the voice of The Girl (Shanti), also sang for that character in the Danish version.
  • Pontus Gustafsson was only 13 years-old when he dubbed Mowgli.
  • The song "The Bare Necessities" was titled as "Var Nöjd Med Allt VAD Livet Ger" instead of "Var Nöjd Med Allt SOM Livet Ger" in old soundtracks.
