3 year old grand daughter spending the night. She watching Rikki-tTikki-Tavi for the 1st time. She loves it. Cool cartoon, classic good vs evil.

Loved it as a kid.

Try "The Wind in the Willows" next. She'll like that, too. The cartoon version.

It was the answer on Jeopardy one nite. I quickly answered.

Wife looked at me like I had a horn growing out of my head.

Was that the one with Orson Welles as the narrator?

Wife pulled out the book Rikki tikki tempo, and I was confused AF.

Rikki tikki tavi is all I'd heard of.

Next show her Watership Down!

I know I was bit older than 3 but I watched that when I was very little. Saw bunnies and thought it would be fun.

Scarred for life.

I used to watch that one on VHS as a kid. A few years back I put it on plex so my kid could watch it. Turns out I end up watching it more often than him.

Riki Tiki Tavi

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoXsmEpiuxo

Great song. Listen to the words.

Better get into what you gotta get into
Better get into it now, no slacking please
United Nations ain't really united
And the organisations ain't really organised
Riki Tiki Tavi mongoose is gone
Riki Tiki Tavi mongoose is gone
Won't be coming around for to kill your snakes no more, my love
Riki Tiki Tavi mongoose is gone
Everybody who read the Jungle Book
Will know that Riki Tiki Tavi's a mongoose who kills snakes
When I was a young man I was led to believe there were organisations
To kill my snakes for me
I.E. the church, I.E. the government, I.E. school
But when I got a little older I learned I had to kill them myself
I said, Riki Tiki Tavi mongoose is gone
Riki Tiki Tavi mongoose is gone
Won't be coming around for to kill your snakes no more, my love
Riki Tiki Tavi mongoose is gone
People walkin' around, they don't know what they're doing
They bin lost so long they don't know what they've been looking for
Well, I know what I'm-a looking for but I just can't find it
I guess I gotta look inside of myself some more
Oh oh oh inside of myself some more
Come on now (baby)
Oh oh oh inside of myself some more (baby)
Riki Tiki Tavi mongoose is gone
Riki Tiki Tavi mongoose is gone
Riki Tiki Tavi mongoose is gone
Riki Tiki Tavi mongoose is gone
I saw you today
On the number twelve bus
You were going my way
Going my way

Same.

Paraphrasing. “If you move, I strike. If you don’t move, I strike.” Scared the crap out of me.

Likewise.

Reading Kipling as a" tween" filled my mind
with such splendor and wonderment.

And, yes, the snake was scary shit when you’re a kid.

THIS IS THE STORY of the great war that Rikki-tikki-tavi fought single-handed, through the bathrooms of the big bungalow in Segowlee cantonment. Darzee, the Tailorbird, helped him, and Chuchundra, the musk-rat, who never comes out into the middle of the floor, but always creeps round by the wall, gave him advice, but Rikki-tikki did the real fighting.

If that opening line doesn't send a shiver through you, I feel sad for you.

In about the 4th grade teacher would get Rikki Tikki Tavi for the big movie projector. Before vhs. Good times. And yes, those cobras freaked me out.
