A man-cub was found in the jungle as an infant by a black panther named Bagheera. Raised by a wolf pack most of his life, he knows he is different because he does not think or act like a wolf.

All of this changes when Shere Khan finds out he is in the jungle and vows to kill Mowgli after the drought is over. Mowgli goes on an adventure of self discovery as he makes his way to the man village, and mets unexpected friends, and enemies, along the way
I am so highly impressed by the animation of this film! The CGI of all the animals look so close to the real thing that I know I would have forgotten they weren't real if that animals did not talk. I was nervous about Disney remaking this movie, the original film is a classic, so remaking it for a new generation was something that worried me. You have to keep is close enough to the original to still have the Disney Magic but also different enough to give it a new spin. They did a marvelous job! It was did't feel like a remake. It felt like the same story but a new story teller was bringing you into the world with refreshing insight! The whole picture was a walking work of art that was beautifully done.
