The Jungle Book (2016)
Mowgli is a human boy raised by the Indian wolves Raksha and Akela ever since he was a baby and brought to them by Bagheera the black panther. When the fearsome scarred BengalĀ tiger
Shere Khan threatens his life since man isn't allowed in the jungle, Mowgli
leaves his jungle
home. Guided by Bagheera the black panther and Baloo the bear, he sets out on a
journey of
self-discovery while evading the man-hunting Shere Khan. Along the way, Mowgli
encounters
jungle creatures who do not exactly have his best interests at heart including
Kaa the python
and the smooth-talking King Louie, who tries to coerce Mowgli into giving up the
secret to the elusive and deadly āred flowerā
