Synopsis
Rudyard Kipling's classic tale of the little boy who is raised among the jungle creatures is brought to life. The friendship, fun and adventure begins when Mowgli toddles into the heart of the surprised Seeonee Wolf Pack, and the jungle as they know it will never be the same. Although Mowgli is fondly adopted by the wolves, he is most unwelcome by mischievous tiger Shere Khan, who thinks that Mowgli's nothing more than perhaps a tasty lunch.
With the help of his teachers- big-hearted bear Baloo and wise old panther Bagheera- the boy learns the language of the wild and the secrets of Jungle Law. He even wins the friendship of Kaa, the sly, hypnotic Python, and helps to outwit the sneaky Bander-Log Monkeys, but it will take more than a bag of tricks to outwit the mighty Shere Khan. Packed with breathtaking backdrops and charming characters, this is an enchanting tale of timeless appeal that teaches the value of respect for all living creatures.
