I honestly felt way too much that Baloo was... well, taking advantage of Mowgli. Bagheera sums it up when he calls him a con artist. You could easily say that he warmed up to him genuinely at some point but that character development was... pretty much entirely offscreen. Maybe it could have been remedied if Baloo was introduced earlier in the film instead of halfway through, and Baloo's never called out on lying to Mowgli.

As for the songs... I'll respectfully disagree, especially on Louie's song. It's not playing on my nostalgia because I have no nostalgic memories of it; I've only ever seen chunks of the original film. Never in full.
