I'm a

friend you're making a mistake I'm a

wolf I know I don't look like a wolf but

I really am I was adopted by a wolf pack

when I was just a Bab baby what's going

on I don't like this a human who can

talk to us in Wolf's language I don't

trust him one little bit you have to

believe me my name is mowgly I belong to

the CN wolf pack from the jungle I have

to see Vermilion how dare you intrude on

our territory and ask to see our leader

attack

him listen to me we be of one bloody IND

ey

[Music]

[Laughter]

[Music]

Sanda mowgly can it be back off I know

him he's a noble member of the Cene wolf

pack who once saved my life it's been a

while

Sanda am I glad to see you what brings

you up here so far from the jungle I

came to see Vermilion is there something

I can do there's a question I really

have to ask him it's

[Music]

important always make sure that you pick

your target first take your time decide

which way you think it will run and then

attack if your prey hesitates jump and

then knock it onto its

[Music]

[Applause]

back a wolf must never give up its prey

Vermilion you have a

visitor mowgly if it isn't mowgly

gosh it's been a long time you were once

a big help to me are my old friends well

mhm ah the whole pack my father Aila and

Lala my lovely

daughter and the others agira the

Panther and Baloo the Bear they're all

well they're all very well they all

remember you and they miss you a lot

they miss me that's part of the reason

I've come we have a problem I have to

talk to you about with this be a good

time it is a Leader's duty to listen to

a messenger who comes in good faith all

right listen everybody that's enough

training for today continue to do your

exercises on your

own come with me

ml

[Music]

wow you want me to come and replace my

father Yes we all think you'd be perfect

as a new leader

uhoh in the past little while our leader

AAA has started to show his age the pack

is falling apart he can't control things

anymore he leaves us to hunt on our own

it's become a very serious problem

Grizzle is a perfect example our enemies

always seem to be winning and no matter

how many times we go out hunting we

never be able to bring anything

[Music]

every member of the pack knows how

important it is to have the right leader

yes I understand that even so please

listen the whole pack has wanted this

for a long time don't you remember we

were even discussing it back before you

left the jungle everyone has the same

idea they say get Vermilion back they

want you to come

back the pack really needs you

Vermilion today we are preparing for a

hunt in the Eastern section of the

Jungle our Target will be a herd of deer

which is moved in I sure wish for

million were here so do I I'd feel more

secure you've only yourselves to blame

the trouble stems from the fact that you

wolves haven't chosen a successor to AAA

why not simply ask the million to come

back you may think this is none of my

business but I warn you if the

leadership is not resolved wolf will

turn against wolf you know I think the

children is right in what he says mowgly

you have to ask Vermillion to come back

me go and ask vilon to come back you

have the courage of your father

Alexander and the wisdom that is your

Birthright as a human it will be

difficult but you can do it

please well well so it was Lori who sent

you to find me she knew from chill where

you were sounds like L's taken

charge so she's changed a lot since I

knew her

yes she sure has it was her idea to ask

Kathy the elephant to scare Grizzle away

and she led us in the last battle at the

cold

[Music]

Lair I'm afraid Grizzle will put up a

fight so you must all learn the battle

plan Aku you grab his right hand leg

Lala you take his left leg that way you

can put Grizzle out of action without

hurting him or yourselves what do I do

if all else fails you attack from the

front with your sharp

[Music]

Stone should I attack no

B take

[Music]

that beautiful that must have been

beautiful you all fought like true

wolves but it's luri who deserves the

credit

wow she worked it all out to the light

that's

detail well it seems obvious there's the

solution to your problem huh

huh your new leader should be luri

she'll be perfect for the job what do

you mean that

mhm Fillion lorri is a She Wolf there is

absolutely nothing in the law that says

a female can't be leader lri has proved

she can lead it makes perfect sense for

her to assume the leadership

she knows every wolf in the pack and she

can count on support from bagira and

baloon you and ACU and sura are her Cubs

your loyalty goes without question the

respect of the pack is the key to a

Leader's success and luri is respected

by all

huh when you put it that way it makes

sense mother is the best choice I'm

totally convinced of it she has an an

unbeatable combination of strength and

tenderness that will overcome all

obstacles she'll make a magnificent

leader it is a great and unexpected

honor to be asked to lead the Wolves of

the Jungle but my duty lies here on the

plane I cannot break Faith with a pack

that CH me to lead he's right mle this

is where I belong now the decision's

been made the sooner you get back the

better olly you now have the task of

convincing luri to accept you'll have to

say mother the decision's been made you

are going to be the new

leader I'll tell her

that and I won't take no for an answer

thank you for being a friend

[Music]

rilon

[Music]

what's taking mowgly so long to get

[Music]

back aha I can see him

now but he's alone it appears that young

mowgli's mission was

unsuccessful hello

chill

what do you mean Hello what happened

with villion did you find him mhm he was

right where you said he'd be and he

sends greetings to everyone he just

sends greetings how dare you return

without bringing Vermillion as the new

leader I couldn't bring him but I

brought the answer what do you mean I

mean that the solution has been right in

front of us all the time huh wait mowley

hold

on mowley what do you mean by that

[Music]

what

[Music]

h

ah you're back I found Vermilion but he

refused to come back to be leader but he

made me see who it had to be it has to

be you mother me leader mowgly why

couldn't you do what I asked I told you

to convince Vermillion to be our leader

mother that isn't the solution it was

Vermillion Who convinced me that you

were the best choice when he first

suggested it I wasn't sure myself that

he was right but when he explained his

reasons I understood mother you have

everything it takes courage wisdom and

Authority that makes you the wolf for

the job you'll be a great leader no I'm

no more courageous than anyone else

besides a She Wolf has never been leader

of the pack as far as I know there's

nothing in the law of the Jungle that

says a female can't be leader and as for

me it would make me really proud if my

mother were the new leader and you can

count on the support of all your friends

in the pack please

mother

[Music]

it's not possible I'm not qualified for

leadership when I remember how your

father sacrificed himself so that the

pack could escape from shear K I know I

could never be as Brave you would

be it's too painful to remember I'm

sorry to disappoint you mowgly but I

can't do it please don't ask me

again

please

[Music]

okay it's a problem what do you think we

should

[Music]

do that's one tough problem tough

problem a tough problem really tough

unless she agrees there's nobody but AAA

and he's really not up to it what we are

going to have to do is find some way to

make Lor change your mind I have been

giving the p a great deal of thought and

I have concluded that Vermillion was

absolutely right of course he was right

so what do we do that is what I'm

presently trying to decide you're not

doing very well for someone who thinks

he's so smart is the great Panther's

brain wearing out I don't hear many

bright ideas from you you lumbering

brain I can outsmart you any

day watch it watch what I'll show you

what stop it just stop it you two this

is no time for

fighting back off now it's my fault for

not bringing Vermillion back if I'd been

able to the pack would have a new leader

and L would have her father back don't

blame yourself of course it would make

me happy if father could come back to

the pack but he accepted the leadership

of another pack and it's his duty to

stay with them

them

H hey I have an idea why don't we talk

to grandfather he's the leader he can

convince her to change her mind laala

that's the most intelligent suggestion

we've had so far let's try if there's

one thing AAA is good at it's giving pep

talks good idea he can always find

exactly the right words to make you

believe in yourself great we'll go and

talk to grandfather and see what he can

do

right

seems like the beginning of a new era

for the wolf pack wouldn't you say I

heartily

[Laughter]

agree I thank you all for coming

promptly today we have an important

decision to make and I hope when I've

made my case you will agree with

me where is lorri

lorri here I am sir

very good come to the front right up

here to the front don't be shy my

dear

a fellow Wolves of the Jungle

Pack effective today I relinquish my

position as leader of this pack to clear

the way for a new leader aaa's a good

leader he doesn't have to retire it's

not right what are we going to do day on

why are you leaving so suddenly like

this who will take your place we need a

leader AA my recommendation as new

leader of the pack is

lorri he says L want L is he serious can

a She Wolf be leader sure if AA

recommends her she's the bravest wolf

and she's always friendly with everyone

she'll never be as good as million sure

she will silence I want want you all to

know that I've been thinking about this

for a long time my last act as leader is

to ask you to approve my choice of

successor just a moment this is so

sudden you do me great honor by choosing

me AAA but I can't it's true you haven't

had much time to think about this but I

wanted to have this discussion openly so

everyone would be able to

participate mowgly and Lala told me

about his mission to Vermillion I was

happy they were so honest with me and

Vermillion was right my dear you of all

the wolves have the courage wisdom and

authority to lead the pack as my

successor you and Alexander were a fine

team he was to have replaced me when I

stepped down what a fool I've been not

to have seen that you were as qualified

please you're our leader I

can't lri for the good of everyone you

must accept the

position

you know that I'm growing old and my old

body just won't do what I want it to

anymore I don't have the strength to be

the leader please help us

[Music]

all as an honorable wolf I know it is my

duty to do as you say and I shall I

don't feel that I'm qualified to be the

leader but I will accept the job if I

have the confidence of every wolf in the

pack we will now take a vote on the

following two proposals first does the

pack agree that the time has come for me

to step down as leader you do fine now

does the pack agree that lury should be

leader let us hear your voice if you

agree

[Applause]

we all

agree the pack has spoken and your

decision is clear I appreciate all of

you supporting my proposals thank you

all

hooray for luring we're all behind you

you only have to tell us what you want

us to do we'll do it we know that your

decisions will be for the good of the

whole

[Applause]

path everybody I thank you all for the

confidence you have in me but this is a

new experience for me till now I've been

concerned with the safety of my own

family the Wolfpack is a larger family

and I will need your help if I am to

keep it safe can I can I rely on you you

to help absolutely word of

Honor you need AAA I have a favor to ask

you may ask me anything I'd like you to

stay on and act as my advisor as your

advisor yes we all need your wisdom and

experience please say you'll stay

on we will call you the wise old

wolf do you really think I can still be

of some use a feeble broken down old

wolf like me I know you can and I'm sure

that the others do too let me hear your

[Applause]

voices thank you all it has long been

our tradition that a wolf who gave up

the leadership was either forced to go

into Exile or was set upon by the pack I

was prepared for this to happen to me

today

yet you ask me to stay that is an

ancient law AAA and is best left

unobserved our safety depends on

cooperation we must strive for mutual

help and

understanding now if you agree with

everything that I have said then I

consider it an honor to fulfill my

[Applause]

duty

[Applause]

[Music]

well never in my wildest dreams did I

imagine a day like

today I have accepted the responsibility

for the well-being of the great C wolf

pack

I will endeavor to do my duty as well as

I can for my own honor and for the

memory of my dear husband

[Music]

Alexander a child is

learning in Nature's special way he's

beginning to see

all the beauty in this world

today his eyes are

gleaming at every Sight and Sound with

his inocent

heart he feels that love is all around

but this world can be

confusing and learning can be

hard when lessons that you often learn

mean danger looks beneath the stars so

take good care of Nature's friends and

they'll take good care of you then we

can all live together as

one as in The Jungle
