Summary: Mowgli enjoys his life in the trees but is spotted by a talent scout working for a circus. The talent scout sets out to trap Mowgli with the help of a hunter and a snake charmer, but Mowgli has other ideas and leads the men on huge adventure...

Raised in the jungle by his animal family, 10-year-old wild boy Mowgli catches the eye of a promoter who sees the feral youngster as a fantastic draw for his circus. On the run from his would-be captor, Mowgli and his menagerie stumble across the fabled Lost City, where its slightly touched ruler, King Murphy, is being held by Mowgli's foes, the Bandars. This is a live-action, family-oriented adventure based on the writings of Rudyard Kipling.

The Second Jungle Book: Mowgli and Baloo is the live-action follow-up to Disney's 1994 Jungle Book feature. Here we follow young wolf-raised Mowgli as he leads a gang of greedy grown-ups on a wild goose chase through the jungles of India, circa 1890. In the course of this breathless caper, eyes of all ages will be loath to wander from the screen as it shifts from one colour-drenched, wildlife-rife scene to the next. The animals, more than the wilderness, are what give this film its Eden-like quality--Mowgli protectors Bagheera the panther and Baloo the bear, as well as wolves, tigers, a pack of prowling monkeys and even exotic snakes of the deadly variety all mix and mingle to gorgeous effect. Bill Campbell is fully believable as an Indiana Jones-like circus scout, and Roddy McDowall is at his eccentric best as a cave-dwelling monkey commander. --Tammy La Gorce, Amazon.com
