"Mowgli”, “Baloo”, “Bagheera”, “Shere Khan”...
...magical names, memorized by children all over the world ever since Rudyard Kipling’s immortal classic “The Jungle Book” put a spell on children’s hearts. “Mowgli” an orphan boy raised by wolves in the Indian jungle and a full member of the colourful animal community.

For the first time since the box office hit animation from 1967 “Mowgli” and his friends face their adventures in a high end 3D HD animation series. Compelling stories full of fun and excitement against the vibrant background of an Oriental jungle bursting with colour und life in high end 3D animation will capture the audience of children aged 6 to 9.

“Mowgli” is a young boy whose escapades reflect his fun-loving, daredevil spirit. How could a human raised by wolves not be adventurous! Especially when his best friends are a wise bear named Baloo, the panther Bagheera and the python Kaa! Blessed with quick wits, a sharp instinct and an optimistic approach to life, Mowgli learns to overcome adversity and survive in the jungle – not an easy task in the face of his tenacious enemy Shere Khan. Mowgli’s adventures unfold not only in the lush tropical forest, but also amidst the ruins of splendid Indian royal forts, temples, and waterfalls.

As the series progresses, other characters from Kipling’s stories are introduced to maintain a constant source of storytelling: the wolf “Akela” and Mowgli’s wolf “parents”, several wild and exotic animals, and even human beings!
