Akela – The Jungle Book
The Jungle Book follows a young boy who is raised by a pack of wolves. Akela is the leader of the wolves.
“Akela, the great gray Lone Wolf, who led all the Pack by strength and cunning, lay out at full length on his rock, and below him sat forty or more wolves of every size and color.”

‘Black Wolf’ – Fantastic Mr Fox
Despite a modest appearance in the film, this Black Wolf cameo has an almost ethereal quality that sets it apart from the bustling charms of the rest of the film.
Wes Anderson’s typically stylish masterpiece sees the most Fantastic of Foxes outwit a group of duplicitous local farmers. Throughout the film, the central character’s fear of Wolves is alluded to – and in the dying moments of the film the group encounter a Wolf in the distance. “What a beautiful creature”, remarks Mr Fox, prompting his companions to wish the wolf, good luck. The scene was so different to the rest of the film, that it was very nearly not included.
Director Wes Anderson said of the scene:
There were some people who didn’t like the wolf scene. In particular one very important person. And he said, I don’t understand what this scene is doing in the movie. And I would always say to him, I’m not cutting it. That scene is why I’m making the movie.
So what does it mean? We can only hope to guess Andersons meaning, but Jason Schwartzman, the voice actor behind Ash the 12-year-old fox thinks that whatever the reason, it paid off:
…we stop and we see a wolf on a distant hill, and it’s a really beautiful, beautiful scene [with this] mysterious wolf who we’ve heard about the entire movie and who doesn’t even talk in this scene. He’s kind of, he represents I guess, the wild. He’s a wild wolf and animal, and it’s a beautiful moment where they have this great connection, and [to me] the point of that scene is let’s keep on being free; Let’s keep on being animals.
It’s such an uplifting moment, and when I’ve seen it with audiences [they often] break into cheers and hooting. It’s such an awesome, awesome scene. It really just blows my mind.
We couldn’t have said it better ourselves!
