Jungle Book 2

Get ready for an all-new swingin' jungle adventure in this joyously entertaining sequel to one of Disney's most cherished films. The story begins where THE JUNGLE BOOK left off, as Mowgli, the little boy raised in the jungle, leaves his animal friends behind to live in the “man village.” There, Mowgli starts a new life with a loving family that includes his little brother Ranjan and his best friend, the brown-eyed beauty Shanti. But back in the jungle, Baloo the bear misses his friend the little man-cub terribly, and sneaks into the village for a visit. Caught up in the fun of seeing good old Baloo, Mowgli returns to the jungle without telling his new family where he's going.

The excitement begins as Mowgli finds himself in the hypnotic stare of a snake named Kaa, and dancing in a high-flying monkey musical extravaganza! But soon Mowgli comes face-to-face with his old enemy, the vengeance-seeking tiger Shere Khan. When Shanti and Ranjan realise Mowgli is in danger, they team up with Baloo for a showdown with the fearsome cat. Safe at last, Mowgli finally faces the choice between his love for the jungle and Baloo ? and for the humans he knows are now his true family. With wildly inspired original songs plus a new version of the rousing Jungle Book classic, “Bare Necessities,” this lushly animated adventure stars unforgettable characters who will have the whole family roaring for more!

Critic Reviews:

• " Like its predecessor, there's lively animation that will inspire children to tap their feet to the jungle rhythms and parents to recall their childhoods. " – Stephanie Cook Broadhurst

• " Likely to provide 72 minutes of enjoyment and a few scary thrills to tykes, as well as a pleasant diversion for parents. " – Jane Horwitz

• " Light and entertaining and it works well, mostly because it mimics the attractions of the original film. " – Liz Braun
