Warning: Spoilers
"Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" is an animated 30-minute movie from 40 years ago and it was directed and written by the legendary Chuck Jones (in his 60s) based on Rudyard Kipling's tale. This is maybe also why it looks a bit older than 1975 as Jones of course had his great years in the decades before that already. Mel Blanc is not in this one, but this is not a problem as the narrator is Orson Welles and the rest of the voice acting is done by prolific (voice) actors such as June Foray. The story is about a little mongoose who becomes the pet of a boy. Initially, the parents are skeptical, but then he keeps protecting the entire family repeatedly (especially the boy) from a pair of poisonous cobras. A good watch for the entire family. The violence is not too graphic and everybody involved with this one did a fairly good job. Thumbs up.
