The Jungle Book 2

Mowgli lives in the village among humans, learning about family for the first time in his life. His new life includes his little stepbrother, Ranjan, and his best friend Shanti, the girl who initially wooed him from the jungle. But living in the village means following human rules, a new concept that encroaches on the freedoms Mowgli enjoyed during his upbringing in the jungle.

Moreover, Mowgli's still got that jungle rhythm in his heart. He misses his old buddy Baloo, who likewise pines for his little man-cub pal. While the wise panther, Bagheera, and Colonel Hathi's Elephant Patrol attempt to keep Baloo from disturbing Mowgli's new human existence, Mowgli is putting the jungle bug in the ear of the village children during the rousing musical number, "Jungle Rhythm." The children have been lectured since birth about the dangers of the jungle, and have been forbidden to enter its mysterious foliage. But Mowgli's infectious song innocently leads the village children toward the jungle -- only to be halted by Mowgli's stepfather, who promptly punishes Mowgli for his disobedience.

Meanwhile, Baloo isn't the only one hoping to see Mowgli again -- the man-eating tiger Shere Khan impatiently awaits revenge for his humiliation. Shere Khan slips into the man village hoping to find the man-cub just as Mowgli is sneaking away to the jungle with the help of Baloo. Shanti is so worried about Mowgli that she overcomes her own fear of the jungle and goes after him -- followed, unbeknownst to her, by the irrespressible Ranjan.
