It was Walt Disney's lead story man and writer Bill Peet who first suggested making an animated version of Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book. Peet worked on the adaptation for over a year, but when Disney rejected his screenplay, Peet quit the project and left the studio. Disney and Peet ultimately didn't see eye-to-eye on the direction of the film, with the end result that their twenty-five-year professional working relationship ended. Sadly, their friendship was never renewed as Disney died during the film's production. Peet, however, had nothing but nice things to say about his former employer in his autobiography.
