Thanks for this, one of my yearly TV favorites growing up in the 70's, along with The White Seal!

Scared the crap out of me as a kid... warms my heart as an adult. I'm sure a mongoose would be a terrible housepet, though.

For whatever weird reason, this was always a big favorite of mine as a kid. Awesome to see it here.

What, no Donovan?

I never realized how much Keith David sounds like Orson Welles.

LOVED this as I kid. If I remember right it was like a weird intermission or epilogue on the Disney Jungle Book VHS. I begged my parents for a mongoose, at which point they gently reminded me of our crazy family friend who had ferrets and a houseful of chewed stuff and fur.

I remember a year or two ago they ran infomercials for this movie.

I saw this in English class once

oh my fuck, thanks for the childhood acid flashbacks
