During Disney: Buzzie, Flaps, Ziggy, Dizzy

Buzzie, Flaps, Ziggy, Dizzy,

Buzzie, Flaps, Ziggy and Dizzy are the four vultures from the Disney Classics, 'The Jungle Book'. They make their entrance into the film after Mowgli has escaped Kaa, and befriend Mowgli in an attempt to cheer him up. The four vultures are based on the band, The Beatles, as maid fairly obvious by their Liverpool accents, their hairstyles and vocals.

 

There were original plans to have the Beatles come in and voice over for the vultures, but Lennon declined due to already having overscheduled.

 

Their feature song in this film is 'That's What Friends Are For', written by the Sherman Brothers and Terry Gilkyson, and composed by George Bruns.

 

The vultures are later featured in 'The House of Mouse' Disney Channel Show, and cameo in several other short films.
