Warning: Spoilers
I remember first watching Rikki-Tikki-Tavi as a child but I didn't see it again until some time in 2006 and it brought back some memories for me watching it as a kid.

The story follows a Mongoose named Rikki-Tikki who almost drowns only for a boy named Teddy and his father to find him him along with his mother brought him back to full health and becomes apart of the family.

Rikki quickly learns that two cobras named Nag and Nagaina live in the garden of the family's home, after they saved his life he feels it is his duty to protected them from the snakes.

Chuck Jones and his team made a great artwork for this 30 minute movie. Very good background and the designs for the snakes were very evil and creepy. And the animation they did for Rikki and his quick movements was perfect timing.

The voice acting is well done with Orson Welles, June Foray, and Shepard Menken being the best picks for the characters they had voice.

The music matches the story and setting of the film and it's location the music was very smart.

Overall Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is a very well thought out well told and well animated classic that shouldn't be miss.

I give Rikki-Tikki-Tavi an 8 out of 10
