I am a student of comparative literature at the
University of Vienna, and I am writing my dissertation about literature's impact
on Disney films. As an example I have chosen Rudyard Kipling's "Jungle
Books". I could find out, that Walt Disney had problems getting the rights
of the book (Kipling had a very protective daughter), but I couldn`t find out
details, i.e. I couldn't find out why he was able to use the
stories in the end.
I was wondering if anybody on this list can give me
any information about this issue.
Thanks and regards,
Christina
