The Jungle Book (1980's r)

Original Walt Disney b&w re-release photo still. 

Here, Mowgli is getting a literal "talking to" from the jungle’s most rigid enforcer. This shot captures Colonel Hathi, the leader of the elephant dawn patrol, inspecting Mowgli as if he’s a new recruit. Hathi is obsessed with military discipline and "marching," which stands in hilarious contrast to Mowgli’s wild, carefree nature. It’s a great example of the movie’s comedy, putting a tiny boy face to face with a giant, grumpy elephant. 
 
This film was a huge turning point for Disney. It was the last movie Walt Disney personally oversaw before he passed away, and he wanted it to be all about fun and personality. It famously ditched the serious tone of the original book for a jazzy, upbeat vibe that made everyone fall in love with the characters.
