Description:

Deep in the jungle, a boy named Mowgli is raised by wolves and guided by Bagheera the panther, who tries to lead him to safety in the man village. Along the way, Mowgli encounters colorful characters like Baloo the bear, Kaa the snake, and King Louie and his band of monkeys—all while being hunted by the fierce tiger Shere Khan. With the help of his jungle friends, Mowgli learns about courage, friendship, and where he truly belongs.
