Yeah, aside from being a bit creeped out by it, I did find it disappointing.
So I lived it through Mowgli and it always felt as if he turned his back on me too when he crossed that field at night to listen at the doorway and peer into the windows of the settlement of man.
This makes a good deal of sense to me. We can attach such symbolic significance to characters, so I could see where it might even have seemed a betrayal of sorts.
There's a song that might appeal to you, "Brothers All." It's a demo from when Disney was first conceptualizing their film version; apparently they were originally going to stick much closer to the book. The lyrics are very true to the original story, it's rather beautifully-arranged, and the photos the youtube poster placed with it work really well.
