He)', up there!

Everything is

going fantastically, I see.

Ow!

You got it!

Believe in yourself!

-There you go!

- Ow!

Come on! Almost!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Oh. Yeah!

Uh-oh.

Fred?

Oh, yeah, exfoliate me.

You said they didn't sting.

What do you call this?

How the heck did you do that?

Oh, those must have been females!

They look like males

from down here.

Females do sting.

Just put some honey on those.

- Honey? Really?

- Yeah.

You put it on, you lick it off.

You feel much better.

It's nature's ointment.

I put it everywhere.

Thanks.

Okay, so, we're even now!

Hold on a minute.

What's your name anyway?

We were never properly introduced.

- Mowgli.

- Mowgli?

Mowgli is a terrific name.

I bet you got that one

all to yourself, too.

Hey!

Mowgli, look...

I got a lot of gathering to do

these next couple of weeks...

On account of the hibernation.

I could really use your help.

You know, if you stuck around...

I can't. I have to go to the man village.

Uh...

For what reason, man village?

I don't have a choice.

There's a tiger hunting me.

Really? Why a tiger?

Because I'm a man-cub, all right?

Just leave me alone.

Hey! Mowgli, my friend,

my buddy, my pal.

Slow down a second, handsome.

Bagheera said I have to go

to the man village.

Oh, bagheera! I know him. Sure.

You know what his problem is?

He always plays by the rules.

And, sometimes rules

were meant to be...

Well, not necessarily broken,

but certainly bent.

And definitely reinterpreted.

Don't you think?

He told me to go to the man village,

so, that's where I'm gonna go!

Okay, fine.

You wanna go to the man village,

have it your way.

In fact, I'll do you one better.

I'll take you there myself.

Come on, let's go. It's getting late.

Bare necessities

forget about

your worries and your strife

I mean the bare necessities

what's that?

That's a song about the good life.

What's a song?

You never

heard a song before?

Everyone's got a song.

Didn't the wolves ever sing?

I don't know.

Uh... oh...

We recited the law of the jungle.

"This is the law of the jungle...

"As old and as true as the sky.

"The wolf that keeps it may prosper...

"But the wolf that breaks it will die."

Kid, that's not a song.

That's propaganda.

What's propaganda?

Just a little farther.

That's the man village?

Yep. You can always

tell by the red flower.

They do love their red flower.

The red flower doesn't seem so bad.

Yeah.

Let it loose, and it destroys

everything it touches.

Don't ever play with it.

You got that?

Yeah, I got it.

Good.

Do you think that's where I'm from?

Could be.

I don't know, kid. Does it look familiar?

I don't remember it.

All I remember is living with the wolves.

Why do you wanna go there?

Bagheera said I need a people.

Again, with the listening to bagheera.

Hey, he's my friend, okay?

Now I don't even know where he is.

I can't believe I'm leaving

the jungle for good.

May I say just one thing?

What I saw you do today,

I've never seen anything like it.

I've been trying to get

that honey for years.

But I used my tricks.

What tricks?

You know...

Everything that I built.

It's not the wolf way.

Who cares? "The wolf way."

That's the mowgli way.

That's the baloo way.

That's our way.

That's how we get things done.

I can't even imagine what kind

of potential you'd have...

If you had somebody like me

helping you out.

You say you want to go

to the man village.

I say, you could be a man right here.

I'll tell you what.

Now you know where the man village is.

You can always go down there,

whenever you want.

But I would personally appreciate it...

As a personal favour to me, personally...

If we just worked together,

just us, tricks and all.

I think it would be interesting to see...

Just how much honey

we could accumulate...

Before winter.

Whatever I could do to make

your trickiness happen...

L will do.

And if it turns out to

not be fun for you...

I will walk you right down

to that man village myself.

Is that a deal?

Just till winter.

Just till winter.

Ami, wake up.

Pups?

They're up there.

The deer, of course,

take comfort in numbers.

They lack defences

most animals will have.

And if we're being honest...

They're not very smart either.

Unlike the mother crocodile,

who is a good deal more clever.

But the one you have to watch out for...

Is the cuckoo bird.

Do you know

how the cuckoo bird survives?

By preying on a mother's weakness.

The cuckoo bird is too clever

to raise its young.

Instead, it sneaks...

Its eggs into the nests of simpler birds.

So, when they hatch...

The mother bird is fooled.

She feeds them, nurtures them.

And do you know what happens

to her own chicks?

They starve...

And die...

From neglect.

All because a mother loved a chick...

That wasn't her own.

Come now, time for sleep.

I think they like me.

Why are you doing this?

He's gone.

Isn't that what you wanted?

I want him dead.

Once he gets word

of what happened here...

He'll come back.

And I'll be waiting.

- That's the first mark.

- Got it.

- That's the first mark!

- Got it!

That's the first mark!

Mowglii got it!

Whoo!

Yeah, I got it!

- Tell him to go to the second mark!

- Got it!

- Go to the second mark!

- Got it.

Got it.

Look for the

bare necessities

the simple bare necessities

forget about your worries

and your strife

I mean the bare necessities

old mother nature's recipes

that bring the bare

necessities of life

wherever I wander

wherever I roam

I couldn't be fonder

of my big home

the bees are buzzing

in the tree

to make some honey just for me

when you look under

the rocks and plants

and take a glance at them fancy ants

and then maybe try a few

the bare necessities of life

they'll come to you!

Wherever! Wander

wherever I roam

I couldn't be fonder

of my big home

the bees are buzzing in the tree

to make some honey just for me

when you look

under the rocks and plants

and then take a glance

at them fancy ants

and then maybe try a few

mmm! Mmm!

The bare necessities of life

they'll come to you

they will come to you

yeah, they'll come to you!

Come to you!

Baloo, baloo, baloo... look.

Stay low on my back.

Come on out and show yourself.

Bagheera! Ah!

Bagheerai mowgli.

Oh, I was looking everywhere for you!

I thought you were gone!

- Are you all right?

- Yeah!

I can't believe you found me!

I was so worried about you.

I was lost, and I didn't know

what happened...

But then I met baloo.

And then he saved me

from a giant snake!

And now we're working together!

Really?

That's a new wrinkle.

I didn't know sloth bears worked.

Come on, mowgli, let's be on our way.

Wait!

Yeah, go on ahead. I'll catch up.

Don't be mad, okay?

Why would I be mad?

Because you're always mad

when I do stuff.

You gotta promise

not to be mad this time.

Show me, then I'll decide.

Come on, check it out!

These are vines I use on the cliff.

I twirl them together to make
