windcatcher 0 #1 August 9, 2006 Trip down memory lane... Anyone else remember watching a movie called Riki Tiki Tavi ( I think I spelled that right), about a mongoose who kills a Cobra that tried getting into a baby's crib? I'm not making this up I swear! Someone back me up please. Mother to the cutest little thing in the world... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boxingrrl 0 #2 August 9, 2006 Oh, yes-- I remember! The snakes in that movie gave me nightmares. They were very creepy and evil. Hadn't seen or thought of Riki Tiki Tavi in years, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jumpervint 0 #12 August 9, 2006 It was a great favorite of my kids when they were growing up. It's animated by Chuck Jones, the guy who gave us so many of the Road Runner and Bugs Bunny cartoons. He's an animation god. The snakes names are Nag and Nagaina. Nag is voiced by Orson Welles, who also was the narrator. Great animation. We have it around here someplace; it's a keeper. Vint. . . . .

AggieDave 6 #14 August 9, 2006 Hell yeah! That is a classic animated movie. I saw it lot as a kid. There's quite a few movies that I saw when I was in Elementary school that were one of our 6-week "semester" Friday movies. One Friday every 6 months they'd kill off the last 2 hours of the day by showing a movie to the entire school. They'd make and sell popcorn for $.50 a bag. It was great. Lots of "classic" movies like Riki Tiki Tavi, Pete and the Magic Dragon, The Apple Dumpling Gang, The Parent Trap and so forth. They were all shown on an old reel to reel projector that I think ran on diesel fuel or coal. Good times as a little kid.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Shotgun 1 #16 August 9, 2006 I remember that movie! I had to look up the trailer to make sure it was what I was thinking of, and it was. Wow, I was really young when I saw that, so I don't remember much about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kbordson 8 #19 August 9, 2006 This was great... last night I did a whole 70's/80's thing. Riki Tiki Tavi was great. Good, loyal friend. Lessons on trust and honor. Looked up Nestor... That was not a childrens show. I cried so much when I would watch that. Looked up Readalong with Talking Boot a couple other things too... but the memory fades like the light headache that I woke with this morning. Mmmm ..... wine is good.
