The Jungle Book: Mowgli's Story is a 1998 live-action direct-to-video release from Walt Disney Home Entertainment. It chronicles the story of Mowgli (Brandon Baker) from the time he was 5 living among humans to when he was 12 and rediscovering humans again.
Mowgli's village is attacked by the vicious tiger Shere Khan and he gets lost in the ruckus and runs into the jungle. There, Mowgli met Baloo the wise bear, Bagheera the black panther, and the rest of his animal friends and they have adventure after adventure. Toward the end, Mowgli sees humans, but decides to stay away from them and live with Baloo, Bagheera and the rest of his friends in the jungle.
