Welcome to a jazzy jumpin' jungle in the Disney Classic, Jungle Book Kids where a pack of wolves raise a beloved Man-cub named Mowgli, until Shere Khan the tiger decides that this boy is no longer welcome in the jungle! Their journey is interrupted by encounters with Kaa the Snake, colonel Hathi and his troupe of elephants, and Mowgli is even kidnapped by the monkeys and taken to their leader, King Louie. With the help of Mowgli's jungle friends, Shere Khan is sent away, and Mowgli decides to explore the Man village, even though he will always consider the jungle his home.
