You came up with this stuff,

with the thumb.

Come on, show me.

How do you do that? I can't do that.

Look, I scratch, I rub, I can grab a fish.

But I was hoping, and you may

not be open to this at all...

But I was hoping,

and once again, it's a dream...

But I was hoping that I might become...

A bandar-log myself.

Gosh, I wanna be like you.

I am hitching my wagon to your star.

No one leaves!

I can show myself out. Thanks. Bye-bye!

We'll try to hold them off.

Where you going, man-cub?

Stay away from me!

You don't have anyone now.

I'm your only hope.

I can make it real good for you here.

Where else you gonna go?

I'll go back to the pack!

I'll go back to akela!

Akela?

Oh.

You didn't hear?

Shere Khan killed him.

Must've been on account of you.

No! You're lying!

Don't run away...

From who you are!

You hear me?

Think about it, man-cub.

We can rule this jungle.

No...

Listen to reason.

Gotcha!

Mowgli!

If anything happens to that kid...

I'll never forgive myself.

- Bagheera!

- Mowgli?

Stay there.

We'll come around to you.

Is it true?

What?

Is akela dead?

We were going to tell you.

You knew!

You both knew!

And nobody did anything about it!

Kid, just hold on.

Someone's gotta do something!

Wlowgn!

There's no trace of him.

Where could he have gone?

Come on!

It's man.

He's come to the jungle.

Ami, what's happening?

The red flower.

Everybody, get to the river!

Red flower.

Pups, come on. Stay close.

Ls that mowgli?

Shere Khan!

Shere Khan!

I'm not afraid of you!

No one has to be afraid of you any more!

No...

I think they're afraid

of something else now.

The man-cub is now a man.

Gray...

Always a proud day...

When they come of age.

You can fool them, but you can't fool me.

I'm the one who saw your future.

I saw what you'd become.

Come now, use the red flower.

Use it on me like your father did.

Show everyone what you really are!

I'm mowgli of the seeonee

and this is my home!

That was the stupidest thing

you could've done.

Now you have nothing.

No claws, no fur, no teeth...

And no friends.

"This is the law of the jungle...

"As old and as true as the sky."

What is this?

"The wolf that keeps it may prosper...

"But the wolf

that breaks it will die."

You fools.

"Like the creeper

that girdles the tree trunk...

"The law runneth over and back."

Fine! Rise up, all of you!

You want to put yourselves

between me and the man-cub?

"...and the strength

of the wolf is the pack."

I will have you all

in my teeth!

- No!

- Wolves, attack!

Stay here!

But I wanna fight with the wolves!

- You can't fight him like a wolf.

- You're not a wolf!

Fight him like a man.

Now, go!

Okay.

We'll hold him off.

It's time

we put an end to this.

Rakshai no!

Dead tree.

It's just you and me now!

Break, break!

You've got nowhere to go, man-cub!

Did you think I would let you grow old?

Either I'll devour you

or the red flower will.

It's just a matter of time.

How long did you really think

you'd survive against me?

Longer than your father did?

Longer than... akela?

I'm not afraid of you!

Do you hear me?

I'm done running from you!

You stood your ground, old boy.

You stood your ground.

Ami, ami!

My son.

Mowgli!

- Lt's mowgli!

Mowgli.

Will you look at that?

And where they made

furrows in the ground with their tusks...

There the rivers ran.

In my years, I've seen

a lot in this jungle.

But that night...

I saw something I'll never forget.

I saw a little boy...

Without a people...

Bring all the jungle together

for the very first time.

Just a few more turns.

"M going high!

Stay low.

He never listens.

Gotcha!

- Come on, mowgli.

- You went in the tree.

- That wasn't fair.

- We almost made it.

You guys...

Are going too fast.

Anybody ever teach you how to jog?

You went high when everyone else

stayed on the trail.

- But that's what you do.

- Maybe, but I'm not a wolf.

- Next time, stay together.

- Come on, guys.

"For the strength of the pack is the..."

- Wolf.

-"Wolf...

"And the strength of the wolf

is the pack."

Mowgli's back!

Hey, mowgli! Wait for us.

Hurry up, guys.

Hi, gray.

Look well, wolves.

"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.

"Like the creeper that girdles

the tree trunk...

"The law runneth over and back.

"For the strength of the pack..."

This is nice up here.

Now he can climb.

Please don't tell me

you're about to head down.

I could get used to this.

Now I'm the king of the swingers

oh, the jungle vip

I've reached the top and had to stop

and that's what's botherin' me

I wanna be a man, man-cub

and stroll right into town

and be just like the other men

I'm tired of monkeyin' around

oh, ooo-be do

I wanna be like you-oo-oo

I wanna walk like you,

talk like you too-oo-oo

you'll see it's true-oo-oo,

someone like me-ee-ee

can learn to be

like someone like you-oo-oo

now, don't try to kid me, man-cub

I'll make a deal with you

what I desire is man's red fire

to make my dream come true

now give me the secret, man-cub

come on!

Clue me what to do

give me the power

of man's red flower

so I can be like you

oh, ooo-be do

I wanna be like you-oo-oo

I wanna walk like you,

talk like you too-oo-oo

you'll see it's true-oo-oo,

someone like me-ee-ee

can learn to be

like someone like you-oo-oo

now you might think

it's ridiculous that me

a gigantopithecus,

would ever dream

I'd like to team with

the likes of you, man-cub

but together we'd have powers

all the jungle's treasures, ours

I got desire

you got the fire

but the dream I dream takes two

-- so, 00-00-00

I wanna be like you-oo-oo

I wanna use that flame

just the same as you can do

oh, how magnificus it would be

a gigantopithecus like me

could learn to do

like you humans do-oo-oo

can learn to be

like someone like you-oo-oo

can learn to be

like someone like me-ee-ee

trust in me

just in me

shut your eyes

trust in me

you can sleep

safe and sound

knowing I am around

slip into silent slumber

sail on a silver mist

slowly and surely your senses

will cease to resist

just relax

be at rest

like a bird

in a nest

trust in me

just in me

shut your eyes

and trust in me

trust in me

just in me

shut your eyes

and trust in me

yeah

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!

Look for the bare necessities

the simple bare necessities

forget about your worries

and your strife

I mean the bare necessities
