The Jungle Book Steaminess Rating

Exactly how steamy is this story?

PG

There is no "Jungle Boogie" in The Jungle Book, and neither animal nor man gets down with anyone or anything. Mowgli runs around naked, but when we find out he "became a man and married" (5.114), we're told "that is a story from grown-ups" (1.115). And while we're present at Kotick's birth, we see no seal mating rituals. This is a story about the bears and the mongooses (why not mongeese?), not the birds and the bees.
