Embark on a journey with the boy Mowgli as he makes his way through the jungle to the man-village with Bagheera, the wise panther. Along the way he meets jazzy King Louie, the hypnotic snake Kaa and the lovable, happy-go-lucky bear Baloo, who teachers Mowgli the Bare Necessities of life and the true meaning of friendship.
Mowgli has been living in the village among the humans, including his little stepbrother, Ranjan, and his best friend, Shanti. But the man-cub still has that jungle rhythm in his heart...and he misses his old buddy Baloo. When Mowgli wanders back into the wild for some swingin' fun, he soon finds Baloo isn't the only one waiting for him—the man-eating tiger Shere Khan is lurking in the shadows and planning his revenge. If he is to defeat his nemesis, Mowgli will need the help of both his old friends and his new family.
