The Jungle Book 2

---

Hey, Mowgli!

Hush. It's starting.

Come, children. Come watch.

Mowgli, tell us your story.

I never knew where I came from.

But I always knew where I belonged.

This is me and Bagheera, the panther

who found me in the jungle.

He's a good friend.

But my best friend of all

was good ol' Papa Bear.

Man, we had

some crazy times together.

And when the monkeys grabbed me,

things got really crazy.

Monkeys!

Bad monkeys! Bad!

Go, Papa Bear!

Then I came face to face

with the meanest,

scariest tiger in the whole jungle,

Shere Khan.

You stay away from Mowgli,

you mean old tiger,

or I'll tie some fire to your tail

and burn your butt!

I got him, Mowgli. Did you see?

You sure did, Ranjan.

But it's gonna be hard

to finish the story now.

But we all know how it ends.

Shanti blinks her big,

beautiful brown eyes at you,

and you follow her into our village.

- I did not.

- Did so!

- Something was in my eye.

- Both of them?

Well, you were so ugly,

you made my eyes water.

Well, you...

Now, now, we give thanks

for Shanti's beautiful brown eyes.

Without them, Mowgli would never

have come into our lives.

Come to think of it,

you used the same trick on me.

And you still fall for it.

Thank you for a wonderful story,

Mowgli.

- Goodnight, Mowgli.

- Night, Shanti.

Watch out for Shere Khan

on your way home.

You and your stories.

Everyone knows tigers

don't come into the village.

Tigers go wherever they want!

Goodnight, boys.

Tomorrow's gonna be so great.

Erm... nothing.

Uh-huh. Well, you'll need plenty

of rest for doing nothing tomorrow.

Off to bed.

We never get to stay up late.

Even wild beasts need their sleep.

Help! Ferocious tiger!

Goodnight, my little wild thing.

Goodnight, Mowgli.

Happy dreams.

Erm...

Goodnight, sir.

Why do you always call him "sir"?

His name's Pop.

Hmm!

Come on, Mowgli, wake up!

It's morning.

You said we'd go to...

Ranjan.

You want to wake the whole village?

When does the tiger roar?

I don't know.

After he catches his prey.

His prey.

Let's go get our prey.

- Boys?

- Huh!

Where are you going so early?

To... do our chores?

Not without breakfast.

- That's OK. We're not hungry.

- Got to go!

Boys! Where are you going?

- To do our chores!

- Bye, Pop! See you later.

Remember, don't cross the river.

You can take the boy

out of the jungle.

But you can't take the jungle

out of the boy.

Yes.

That's what worries me.

- Hey, Shanti!

- Ah!

What are you doing here?

Getting water.

What are you doing here?

Oh, I'm on the lookout...

for danger.

Danger? Please.

There's no danger around here.

Well, keep this just between us.

Yesterday, I saw tiger tracks.

Tiger tracks? Right.

It's Shere Khan.

I hear he's looking for me.

Seeking his bloodthirsty revenge.

So keep your ears open,

and always watch your back,

or the last thing

you'll ever hear is...

When does the tiger roar?

You're horrible!

Horrible, stinky boys.

Come on, Ranjan.

He's a bad influence.

Now, don't move.

That wasn't very nice, you know.

Stop that. You're not a jungle boy.

Why are you so scared of the jungle?

- Because it's dangerous.

- Dangerous? But Mowgli says...

You shouldn't listen

to everything Mowgli says.

But I thought you liked Mowgli.

Well, I do. I like Mowgli.

But I have... oh.

Er, you left this at the river.

Thank you.

She's in a bad mood.

Hey, Ranjan.

You want to see a little trick

I learned in the jungle?

That's a pretty good trick.

Well, here's a little trick

I learned right here at home.

Wow.

That's a neater trick.

Like I said, Ranjan,

don't listen to him.

She's right, Ranjan.

Don't listen to me.

Listen to the jungle.

Can you hear it?

Yeah.

The jungle.

Yeah, man.

And when you hear that rhythm,

you get a crazy feeling inside.

That morning sun

peeks over the mountains

And all the rhinos rub their eyes

When they hear

Hear what?

Hear the jungle rhythm

Those birds

are tap-tap-tappin' the tree trunks

The busy bee hums as he flies

Loud and clear

To the jungle rhythm

Now you can hightail it

out of the jungle

But it never leaves your heart

First you feel that beat

start bubbling under

Then you hear the tom-toms

loud as thunder

It's moving me

Sounds a lot like being free

When you feel

Feel the jungle rhythm

Feel the jungle rhythm

Come on, Shanti.

Can't do without rhythm

And when it fills the air

Animals everywhere

Join in the dance

You'll dance along with 'em

Feeling it steal your soul

- We'll stomp our paws

- Flap our wings

Maybe do one or two crazy things

- Khan khan.

- Yeah, that's it.

Shanti, try this.

Not quite.

There we go.

No.

Take a look. Perfect.

Check out those chattering

monkeys

Swinging through the banyan trees

Two by two

To the jungle rhythm

Sounds like a wolf pack

way in the distance

Singing pretty harmonies

Woo-woo-woo

To the jungle rhythm

That's it!

Now you can hightail it

out of the jungle

But it never leaves your heart

First you feel that beat

start bubbling under

Then you hear the tom-toms

loud as thunder

It's moving me!

Sounds a lot like being free

- When I feel

- When I feel, when I feel

Feel the jungle rhythm

Wait. Wait stop.

You're crossing the river.

Mowgli, you can't go in the jungle.

It's dangerous.

Mowgli! Stop!

Shanti, what is it?

Children, come inside this instant.

All of you.

Mowgli.

That includes you.

I am very disappointed in you.

You put everyone in danger.

You know you're not allowed to cross

the river, yet you disobeyed me.

- But...

- No, Mowgli.

The jungle is a dangerous place.

I should know.

You are confined to your room

without dinner.

That should give you time to think

about what you've done.

Mowgli, I was only trying to...

Oh, you can hightail it

out of the jungle

But it never leaves your heart

Oh, Baloo.

Look for the bare necessities

The simple bare necessities

Forget about your worries

and your strife

Oh, yeah! I mean the...

Do bah badda dadda de da dah

Rum pah patta reet ta dah

That bring

the bare necessities of life

Now, that's more like it!

Look at you.

Growing like the proverbial weed.

Let's see if you still got it.

Take it away, Little Britches.

Poor fellow.

I said, take it away!

Well, this ain't gonna work.

You just ain't Mowgli.

I guess I got to get used

to singing solo.

He's just not getting over that...

Oh, no. Not again.

Baloo?

Mowgli.

Get out of here. Shoo!

Now, don't worry.

I'll take care of it.

Baloo?

Baloo?

Oh, man.

Bagheera. How's it wagging?

This has to stop.

You can't take Mowgli

from the man village.

The boy's future

lies with his own kind.

Aw, his future can wait.

I miss my bear cub.

It's not safe for him in the jungle.

Shere Khan is looking for Mowgli.

Let Shere Khan try something.

We handled him once, we will again.

- Baloo, don't push your luck.

- Out of the way, Baggy.

You're not going near the village.

Later, Baggy.

That's it! Hathi, plan B!

Hup, two, three, four.

Keep it up, two, three, four.
