Shere Khan from The Jungle Book

Description

Here's another one of my favorite characters from Disney's The Jungle Book, the treacherous Shere Khan! To me, this was a Disney villain that Scar from The Lion King(even though he is also an awesome character) should have been! A menacing character yet suave and polite. He is a character that just has absolutely nothing to fear! Sure, he didn't really have any screen time whatsoever until the last third of the movie! But, he really didn't need it! Just the buildup with the animals telling Mowgli how dangerous and cunning he is basically is enough to fear him, even before actually seeing him! Every animal in the jungle knows he's menacing(even he himself knows it). I also want to mention that along with snakes, tigers are another one of my favorite animals(hence one of the reasons why I drew him in his awesomeness). Along with Kaa and Baloo, Shere Khan is one of my favorite Disney characters, villains,  and favorite Jungle Book characters as well! Shere Khan belongs to Disney. His book counterpart belongs to Rudyard Kipling. I do not own anything!

I think that's what's so scary about him. When the characters talk about Shere Khan throughout the movie, we don't see him until halfway through! We do see how intimidating he really is.

He's one of my favorite Disney Villains. Both George Sanders and Tony Jay did an amazing job voicing him. ^^

I prefer this Shere Khan over the 2016 one. The book version is very scary too. Yet he is crippled.
