This is a story about a child different from all others. A boy named Mowgli, raised by wolves, is very loved and accepted among animals, until the return of a ferocious tiger from human captivity. Full of hate towards humans and eager to get revenge for the cruel torture he’s suffered, Shere Khan banishes the young human and separates him from his friends and family. Mowgli escapes into a dark jungle where he is introduced to its diversity – new animal species and their unusual habits. Though he realizes that he doesn't belong to any animal species, he finds friends among them, who will help him to overcome Shere Khan and banish him from the jungle. This show promotes tolerance and helps children find their place in their peer community, which can be as cruel and wild as a real jungle.
