Synopsis: Abandoned after an accident, baby Mowgli is taken and raised by a family of wolves. As the boy grows older, the wise panther Bagheera realizes he must be returned to his own kind in the nearby man-village. Baloo the bear however thinks differently taking the young Mowgli under his wing and teaching that living in the jungle is the best life there is. Bagheera realizes that Mowgli is in danger, particularly from Shere Khan the tiger who hates all people. When Baloo finally comes around, Mowgli runs off into the jungle where he survives a second encounter with Kaa the snake and finally, with Shere Khan.

want..." Let's do something!

Okay. What you wanna do?

Blimey. There you go again.

The same notes again.

I've got it! This time

I've really got it.

So you've got it.

Then what we gonna do?

Hold it, lads. Look.

Look what's coming our way.

Hey, what in the world

is that?

What a crazy-looking

bunch of bones.

Yeah, and they're all

walkin' about by themselves.

Yeah.

- So what we gonna do?

- I don't know.

Hey, now don't

start that again!

Come on, lads. Come on. Let's have

some fun with this little fella...

this little blokey.

Blimey. He's got legs

like a stork, he has.

Like a stork. But he ain't

got no feathers, he ain't.

Go ahead. Laugh.

I don't care.

- What's wrong with him?

- I think we overdid it.

We were just having a bit

Of fun, that's all.

Oh, just look at him.

Why, the poor little fella.

You know, he must be

down on his luck.

Yeah, or he wouldn't be

in our neighborhood.

Hey, new kid,

wait a minute! Hey!

- Just leave me alone.

- Oh, come on. What's wrong?

You know, you look like you

haven't got a friend in the world.

- I haven't.

- Haven't you got a mother or a father?

No.

Nobody wants me around.

Yeah, we know

how you feel.

Nobody wants us

around either.

Ah, we may look a bit shabby,

but we've got heart.

And feelings too.

And just to prove it to you, we're gonna

let you join our little group.

Kid, we'd like to make you

an honorary vulture.

Thanks, but I... I'd rather

be on my own, alone.

Aw, now look, kid.

Everybodys got to have friends.

Hey, fellas,

are we his friends?

We're your friends

We're your friends

We're your friends

to the bitter end

The bitter end

When you're alone

When you're alone

Who comes around

Who comes around

- To pluck you up

- To pluck you up

- Give us a smile.

When you are down

When you are down

And when you're

outside lookin' in

- Who's there to open the door

- Come on, kid. We need a tenor.

- That's what

- What friends are for

Who's always eager to extend

A friendly claw

That's what friends are for

And when you're lost

in dire need

Who's at your side

at lightning speed

We're friends with every creature

comin' down the pike

In fact we've never met

an animal we didn't like

Ha-ha. You take it, kid.

Didn't like

So you can see we're friends

- We're friends in need

- We're friends in need

- And friends in need

- Friends in need

- Are friends indeed

- Are friends indeed

- Whoop, whoop.

Take it easy, lads.

- We'll keep you safe

- Steady, steady. Watch it!

- In the jungle

Forevermore

That's what friends

Are for

Bravo, bravo.

An extraordinary performance.

And thank you for

detaining my victim.

Uh, do-don't mention it,

Your Highness.

- Boo.

- Let's get out of here.

Give me room!

Gangway!

Run, friend! Run!

Run? Why should I run?

Why should you run?

Could it be possible that

you don't know who I am?

I know you, all right.

You're Shere Khan.

Precisely.

Then you should also know...

that everyone runs

from Shere Khan.

You don't scare me.

I won't run from anyone.

Ah. You have spirit

for one so small.

And such spirit is deserving

Of a sporting chance.

Now, I'm going to close my eyes

and count to ten.

It makes the chase

more interesting...

for me.

One, two...

three...

four...

You're tying my patience.

Five, six, seven,

eight, nine, ten!

Run, Mowgli. Run!

Let go, you big oaf.

Take it easy. Take it...

Whoo! Ho-Hold it, hold it.

Whoa. Slow down. Ooh!

Yow! Whoa! Slow! Easy now.

Ooh. Oh, boy. Easy.

He's got a tiger

by the tail, he has.

And he'd better

hang on too.

Take that, ya big bully.

Let him have it again, kid.

Hit him again, kid. Go on!

Baloo! Help me!

Somebody do somethin'

with that kid.

Come on, lads.

He's safe now.

You can let go, Baloo.

Are you kiddin'?

There's teeth in the other end.

I'll kill you for this.

Let go!

Baloo needs help!

Fire! That's the only thing

old Stripes is afraid of.

You get the fire.

We'll do the rest.

- Charge!

- You there, punch and blow.

Stay out of this,

you mangy fools.

Yeah, yeah.

Missed me a mile, he did.

- Yeah!

- Yeah! Pull his blinkin' whiskers.

He's a bloomin' pussycat,

he is.

Look behind you, chum.

Well, that's

the last of him.

Old Stripes took off like

a flaming comet, he did.

Well, come on. Let's go

congratulate our friend.

Hold it, fellas.

Now's not the time for it.

Look.

Baloo?

Baloo, get up.

Oh, please get up.

Mowgli, try to understand.

Bagheera, what's

the matter with him?

You've got to be brave,

like Baloo was.

You... You don't mean...

Oh, no. Baloo.

Now, now.

I know how you feel.

But you must remember,

Mowgli...

greater love

hath no one...

than he who lays down

his life for his friend.

When great deeds are

remembered in this jungle...

one name will stand

above all others...

our friend, Baloo, the bear.

- He's crackin' me up.

- The memory of Baloo's...

sacrifice and bravery...

will forever be engraved

on our saddened hearts.

- Beautiful.

- This spot where Baloo fell...

will always be a hallowed

place in the jungle...

for there lies

one of nature's...

noblest creatures.

I wish my mother

could've heard this.

It's best we leave now.

Come along, man cub.

Hey, don't stop now, Baghee.

You're doin' great!

There's more, lots more.

Why, you big fraud!

You, you, you four-flusher!

I-I'm fed up, and I-I...

Baloo! You're all right!

Who, me? Sure I am.

Never felt better.

You sure had us worried.

Ah, I was just takin' five.

You know, playin' it cool.

Yeah, but he was too easy.

Good old Papa Bear.

It's going to be a bit dull without

the little bloke, isn't it?

Yeah. So what we gonna do?

I don't know.

Hey, now, don't start that again!

Hey, Baghee, too bad

you missed the action.

You should have seen how

I made a sucker out of old Stripes

with that left up in his face.

Boom, boom,

I was givin' him. Whang!

You wanna know somethin'?

We're good sparrin' partners.

You'd better believe it.

Yes, sir.

Nothin' or nobody is ever

gonna come between us again.

My own home

My own home

My own home

My own home

- Look. What's that?

- Oh, it's the man village.

No, no. I mean that.

Forget about those.

They ain't nothin' but trouble.

Just a minute.

I've never seen one before.

So you've seen one.

So let's go.

I'll be right back.

I want a better look.

- Mowgli, wait a minute.

- Ah, Baloo.

Let him have

a better look.

Father's hunting in the forest

Mother's cooking in the home

I must go to fetch the water

Till the day that I am grown

Till I'm grown

Till I'm grown

I must go to fetch the water

Till the day that I am grown

Then I will have

a handsome husband

And a daughter of my own

And I'll send her

to fetch the water

I'll be cooking in the home

Then I'll send her

to fetch the water

I'll be cooking in my home

She did that on purpose.

Obviously.

Mowgli, come back.

Come back!

Go on! Go on!

He's hooked.

Ah, it was inevitable, Baloo.

The boy couldn't help himself.
