<P> In Disney 's 1967 animated adaptation , Bagheera the panther is , as in the book , male , and voiced by Sebastian Cabot . The panther is portrayed as an intelligent , mature , and logical character , quite similar to the Bagheera in the books . In the film , it is Bagheera and not the wolves who first finds Mowgli , a young village child . It is Bagheera who brings Mowgli to the care of the wolves and ensures that the baby survives . He is also the one who takes him back to the village , for his own safety , as he knew for years that Mowgli would eventually need to leave his adoptive animal family to return to his place in the human world . During the film , Bagheera often lectures Baloo , for he knows that as long as Shere Khan is in the jungle , the jungle is not safe for Mowgli despite all of Baloo 's attempts to protect him . Bagheera is also the narrator of the film 's story . </P>
