Ziggy the Vulture (The Jungle Book)
Last Updated on: November 28th, 2024
Who is Ziggy the Vulture?
Ziggy the Vulture is a minor yet memorable character from Disney’s 1967 animated classic The Jungle Book.
As part of a quartet of vultures modeled after the Beatles, Ziggy is one of the jungle’s quirky residents who befriends Mowgli, the man-cub. The vultures are known for their Liverpudlian accents, mop-top hairstyles, and humorous banter, which parody the famous British band. Ziggy, alongside his fellow vultures Buzzie, Flaps, and Dizzy, provides comic relief in the film while also delivering a moral lesson about friendship and loyalty.
The vultures encounter Mowgli when he is feeling down and alone, and they try to cheer him up with their iconic musical number, “That’s What Friends Are For.” The scene highlights the theme of companionship and reflects the lighter, whimsical tone that balances the darker elements of the story.
Ziggy is voiced by Digby Wolfe, a comedian and actor whose vocal performance brought a distinctive charm to the character.
