Mowgli is a human boy raised by the Indian wolves Raksha and Akela ever since he was a baby
and brought to them by Bagheera the black panther. When the fearsome scarred Bengal tiger
Shere Khan threatens his life since man isn't allowed in the jungle, Mowgli leaves his jungle
home. Guided by Bagheera the black panther and Baloo the bear, he sets out on a journey of
self-discovery while evading the man-hunting Shere Khan. Along the way, Mowgli encounters
jungle creatures who do not exactly have his best interests at heart including Kaa the python
and the smooth-talking King Louie, who tries to coerce Mowgli into giving up the secret to the
elusive and deadly “red flower”

*““The Jungle Book” is a visually impressive adventure with a stellar cast. Idris Elba and Bill Murray are utterly tremendous in their roles.” * – Chris Sawin – The Examiner

“The Jungle Book is well-made and deserves recognition as one of the year’s best family offerings (thus far). With its effective mix of dazzling visuals, energetic action/adventure sequences, and low-key humor, this is as at least as good as the 1967 cartoon” James Berardinelli – ** – ReelViews**
