I was just about the right age for those films, and I was born right in the middle of Gen X.

Well, it was about an orphan raised in the jungle by wild animals, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say no.  But the film is a Disney fantasy, and it becomes a playful frolic.  Mowgli wanders off alone sometimes and gets into scrapes along the way, and learns he cannot always trust the adults.  Eventually the frolic is over and he must "grow up" and return to the human village.
