about life and its mysteries lessons of

love that are waiting for you

[Music]

look up

this joy all around you nature is

wondrous but beware the law of the

jungle has a lesson for life

but you can still soar right up to the

sky hold your head up high

keep your courage inside

then sure as the sun and the stars up

above

you will discover

love

[Music]

here i come

[Music]

now mowgli you mustn't be too soft on

the little ones they have to learn

hunting skills but lala they're still

too young for all that

too young nonsense come i'll show you

where's sarah

he's with lori making plans for

tomorrow's hunt oh hunting i'm tired of

hunting mowgli i'm surprised at you

hunting is essential for our survival i

know that it's still boring

oh spare me come along little ones

here we are

wow what are you doing

don't help them mowgli

they must learn how to climb out of the

water themselves that's it little ones

scramble up the bank

but they need my help lala no mowgli

they must learn to do this on their own

don't give up little ones you did

now once more

[Music]

why didn't you do that please don't

interfere but they're still only cubs

and the current is strong please let me

give them a hand absolutely not these

aren't human children they must learn

their skills the hard way hmm

all right but i don't think i'm gonna

stay and watch

that's it little ones keep climbing

come on now almost there

well done you both made it

oh

[Music]

you silly mine a bird

[Music]

hey mowgli was it you who threw the

stone that just landed on my head

yes sorry bagheera actually i was

throwing that stone at a minor bird

really man cub it's beneath the hunter

of your considerable skills to be

persecuting minor birds especially on a

day as lovely as this one

beautiful isn't it with the sun glinting

off the water in a cool breeze in the

treetops what could be better it's a

perfect day for cars celebration oh is

cars celebrating he certainly is why is

this day special oh yes car finished

sloughing off his old skin nothing very

special about that yes there is this is

no ordinary sluffing this is the 100th

time that he has shed his old skin and

exposed a new one the 100th time yes

that's right and if that doesn't qualify

as a reason to celebrate then i don't

know what does think of it my own friend

100 times before you were born even

before the great and ageless elephant

hathy was a calf clinging to his

mother's tail car roamed the dense

jungle renowned for his wisdom and power

and before each dry season he would

slough off his weathered skin to reveal

the smooth new skin that waited beneath

this is the hundredth time mowgli

i didn't realize of course you didn't

car has the youthful figure of a snake

half his age still the fact remains this

is his hundredth sloughing and he

deserves congratulations

well what are we waiting for

now then mowgli i know you're always

extremely polite to cars but today i'd

like you to be even more pleasant and

gracious than you usually are all right

wait bagheera why are you suddenly so

concerned about manners cars just

finished sloughing and after slothing

snakes are notoriously sensitive to the

comments of other creatures i am merely

asking you to be on good behavior and

refrain from saying anything thoughtless

well i'll do my best bagheera but i have

to say after all those sloughings

caution be so thin

smoothly that is precisely the kind of

joke you should avoid

that's a good one

honestly i don't know why i let myself

be seen walking around with your man

your sense of humor is abominably

juvenile

[Music]

hello there car we've come to

congratulate you on this great day

oh and what great day are we talking

about huh why on your slopping of course

this is the 100th time you've shed your

old skin and expose a new one sorry but

this was my hundred and first my

hundredths laughing was last year i was

offended that you missed it but cobb the

gear told me this was your 100th

fluffing he did well that only goes to

show what a forgetful old panther he is

really big hero for such a clever cat

you certainly don't have much of a

memory now hold on a minute there ca i

hardly think it's very fair of you

forget it a hundred sluffings are a

hundred and one what's the difference

and the feeble old ship and what's one

discarded skin more or less

then again i don't feel feeble how would

you two like to try a little test of

strength uh count me out car i bruise

easily that leaves you mowgli think you

can handle carlos i'll try

ready

[Music]

well that was quick looks like car's the

winner that settles it car you're not a

bit feeble you're still a wily and

powerful snake even if you have slept

101 times

[Music]

i have a confession to make baguiro is

right it's only been a hundred huh why

you practical joking reptile

[Music]

[Laughter]

guess i'm not such a forgetful old

panther after all i must admit i was a

little worried if i were growing

forgetful then i might lose my memories

of dear old friends like a kayla

we are mr mowgli bagheera baloo and i

treasured akila's friendship and relied

on his great wisdom now that he's no

longer among us the jungle seems emptier

somehow aquila was a noble wolf and a

great leader

the creatures of the jungle will never

forget him over the years his many

exploits have become legend all those

who hear of them reflect on his great

courage

and of course we who knew well will

always remember him with much love and

admiration but you can't go on warning

him forever mowgli it's time you started

living again you're quite right car well

mowgli

i don't understand

well

you need some fun some adventure for

instance i'd say you're ready to see the

jungle's greatest spectacle the majestic

dance of the elephants the what ah it's

the dance of the elephants man cup

sounds fascinating doesn't it but i've

never heard of elephants dancing no it's

not something the elephants like to talk

about because if they did all the other

animals would flock to watch and ruin

their solemn dance but car if you know

about this dance then other animals must

know about it as well but gear i'll bet

you've heard of it

no my young friend the elephants have

guarded the secret and i'm the only one

who knows about it the dance of the

elephants takes place at night in the

deepest reaches of the jungle i only

discovered it by accident one night

while i was roaming the forest in search

of food and you saw the dance yes i

remember it well i happened to arrive as

the dance was starting it was an

incredible sight there must have been a

thousand elephants

they had all pressed into a jungle

clearing in the darkest hour of night

and from the moment they began to dance

the earth trembled and shuddered oh i

want to see this

[Music]

all right i think i can make

arrangements for you to watch this

astonishing spectacle in fact i may even

convince the elephants to let you

participate how will you do that

i think the elephant leader is a

friendly sort he might allow mowgli to

sit up on his back sit on hathy's back

during an elephant dance sounds rather

dangerous

oh no elephants are gentle creatures and

they dance very delicately i can just

imagine

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Music]

hmm

[Music]

quiet mowgli

[Music]

[Music]

i'll never count them all

[Music]

me

[Music]

hmm

[Music]

[Music]

thank you happy that was unforgettable

you're very welcome man-cub

now you be careful as you dismount

right

oh mowgli i almost forgot i have a

little something for you

it should still be tied to my right hind

leg can you see it mowgli

yes it looks like a piece of old cloth

it's cloth all right but it's not old

untie it sure

pretty dirty oh oh i forgot i've been

dancing on it rinse it in the river

it'll come clean

[Music]

but this is jamira's

yes

when she and her family escaped from

boldeo and his cronies i had the

pleasure of carrying jamira and her

mother on my back during their long

journey to caniwara in gratitude she

tied that cross around my leg

happy

can i really keep this

of course mowgli i know you missed your

mirror that cloth will serve as a

keepsake goodbye man cup

bye happy and thanks

[Music]

ah

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

if the boy can hunt then let him go into

the jungle and track down the tiger

who's been attacking our livestock how

about that

mowgli

tiger's name shir khan

if attack again i track him down

and then i will defeat him i swear you

swear blue

well boy that's a very foolish thing

you've sworn to do but you can't squirm

out of it now

we all heard you swear you'd catch that

tiger

go catch him then

go now boy or i'll lose my temper

ah

mowgli i won't let him hurt you

out of the way girl

[Music]

move jamira i'll count to three

one

monthly here take this stick

[Music]

you don't have to be afraid mobley it's

only five

[Music]

jamira your ankle is hurt

it's only a little cut

[Music]

[Music]

see you soon mowgli

i'll be thinking of you

be careful

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Music]

it's been three days and we've still

seen no sign of mowgli that's true

you should give up waiting for him not

yet i know that he isn't far away

tamira mogul is only a boy and the

jungle is fast we can't wait forever

we came here to lay your father to rest

that's done now we really should be

leaving no mother not yet mowgli is

close by i know it if we wait just a

little longer he's sure to find us but

this is the jungle there are all kinds

of wild animals here this isn't a very

safe place to wait the animals won't

hurt us they're all mowgli's friends

mother that means they're our friends

too oh i give up

tamira my love your mother and i want to

see mowgli again as much as you do but

we can't go on waiting for him much

longer we're out of food we can catch

our food same as mowgli does

it may not always be very easy

but it's better than living off charity

in caniwara

i don't like canywara i'd rather live in

the jungle than a place like that i know

you're unhappy in that town jamira but

we have nowhere else to go we'd never

survive in the jungle oh yes we would

mowgli would help us but tamira before

he can help us mowgli has to find us and

how is he ever going to do that in this

wilderness mowgli will find us i know in

my deepest heart i know the jungle is

huge and he's just a boy but he will

find us

that's why we have to wait for him can

we mother

grandfather

you win tamira if your mother agrees

we'll wait two more days

all right oh thank you mother

mowgli where are you we're waiting for

you we're only staying two more days so

please mowgli hurry and find us

[Music]

oh jamira i sure miss you

[Music]

you
