Said restaurant was previously known as the Explorers Club, likely derived from the Adventurers Club of Pleasure Island.Ĭonnections Disney Explorers Lodge A copy of The Jungle Book, a facsimile of the 1894 first edition, can be found on the writing desk inside of the restaurant. This restaurant in Disneyland Paris' Adventureland is named for the character of Hathi and uses the version of the character from Disney's 1967 Jungle Book as its logo. The Jungle Patrol was strict and militaristic though often used by Colonel Hathi to pompously display his own status.Īppearances and allusions Colonel Hathi's Pizza Outpost By the 1890s, Hathi became the self-appointed colonel and leader of the, "Jungle Patrol" which patrolled the jungle to enforce the law of the jungle and keep the jungle safe. In the jungle, Hathi mated with a fellow Indian elephant named, "Winifred" with whom he had a son named Hathi, Jr. By unknown means, Hathi found his way to the jungles of India where he became a wild elephant. According to Hathi, he was once awarded the Victoria Cross, for bravery above and beyond the call of duty though the validity of this claim is unknown. As the elephants were "big clunky animals, crushing everything as they march through", the Shermans thought the best song for them would be a "heavy and ponderous" military march, with feeble lyrics only describing how the platoon tramples what is in its path.Colonel Hathi is an Indian elephant in the 19th century which was domesticated and used within the Maharajah's 5th Pachyderm Brigade. "Colonel Hathi's March" was the first song written by the siblings.
In a deliberate effort to keep the score light, this song as well as the Sherman Brothers' other contributions to the score generally concern darker subject matter than the accompanying music would suggest.
The Shermans were brought onto the film by Walt Disney, who felt that the film in keeping with Rudyard Kipling's book was too dark for family viewing. A reprise version has the first appearance of Shere Khan. It is written in the spirit of a light commentary on the pointlessness of constant military drilling. The song was written by Disney staff songwriters, Robert and Richard Sherman. The song was also sung by Thurl Ravenscroft and The Mellomen, originally Terry-Thomas and Disney Chorus.
