The Observatory

So I noticed that in The Jungle Book they draw Kaa differently in his two appearances. The first (his introduction) gives him rounder eyes set farther apart, while the second (Trust In Me) gives him the more recognizable appearance with tall eyes set next to each other. This second style seems to also be more expression-friendly.

This probably isn’t normally that noticeable or particularly important, but I felt like mentioning it because it’s really annoying when you realize the two scenes you’ve been using as a drawing reference don’t match up.

On a separate note, now I’m interested why that is. Do you think they had two separate animation teams do the different scenes, or did one get done later after the style had been more refined?
