“Many strange legends are told of these jungles of India, but none so strange as the story of a small boy named Mowgli. ” ―Bagheera
Mowgli (also known as the Man-Cub ) is the protagonist of Disney's 1967 animated feature film, The Jungle Book and the 2002 sequel The Jungle Book 2 . A young orphaned boy with an adventurous spirit, Mowgli had been raised by a pack of wolves in the jungles of India since infancy. When the tiger Shere Khan becomes determined to kill him, however, Mowgli is forced to leave his pack to live among humans in the Man-Village. Refusing to abandon his wild side, Mowgli instead strives to find a new place in the jungle, preferably with a fun-loving bear named Baloo .
