It's a good thing the animals in the Jungle Book could speak English, or Mowgli never would have been able to fit in upon his return to the humans, amirite?
Maybe they weren't speaking English. Maybe they were all speaking in their normal animal-language and the movie just translated it for the audience!
For all we know, Mowgli could have been sent to an insane asylum for growling at everyone like a bear-panther-snake-monkey-tiger when he went to go live with the humans.
That girl at the end of the movie: "Oh, hello there!"
Mowgli: "WRAAAAHHHSSSSSSGRRRROOOOAAAARRR!!!" translated for the audience
"Hi!"
