The Jungle Book - the world famous novel written by Rudyard Kipling - is the story of a boy lost in the jungle as a child and adopted into a family of wolves by whom he was named Mowgli. Hunted by Shere Khan, a Bengal tiger, Mowgli is allowed to run with the wolf pack under the protection of Bagheera, a black panther, and Baloo, a brown bear who teaches the wolf cubs and Mowgli the Law of the Jungle. Nowadays, beautiful jungles such as the one where Mowgli lived are rapidly disappearing from the face of the earth. Our aim in producing The Jungle Book is to entertain children through this wonderful world of animation while teaching them the importance of protecting and preserving nature-that kindly mother of humanity-and encouraging them to be kind to all the precious lives on this Earth, including humans.
