Beauty and happiness

everywhere jump up Destin's calling you

and your friends have so much to

share swinging through life on this

great adventure the spirit of nature

will see you through there are lessons

to learn about life and its Mysteries

lessons of love that are waiting for

you look up there's joy all around you

nature is wondrous but beware the law of

the Jungle has a lesson for life but you

can still right up to the sky hold your

head up

high keep your courage

[Music]

inside then sure as the sun and the

Stars up

above you will

discover love

[Music]

[Music]

this is the place there's plenty of wood

here

wow just the branch I

need I'll break the branch off right

[Music]

here Dum Old

[Music]

Branch it just doesn't want to

break that's it

[Music]

my

back C now L what in the world are you

up to well I I broke the branch all

right but then I fell down with it yeah

so I noticed but what on Earth possessed

you to want to break the branch in the

first place

mowgly ah my Branch I'm going to carve

myself a Fang a new Fang yes I lost the

old one somewhere on my last

[Music]

adventure come on lad give me your hands

and I'll pull you

out will you carve it all by

[Music]

yourself mhm

[Music]

the human hand is a wonderful tool Bly

you are able to grasp things it gives

you an advantage over the other animals

it's a shame that more of us don't have

such a hand I'm special with my hands

and a little planning I can do a whole

lot of things what kind of things oh not

just sleeping and eating all sorts of

things h

just what else do you need besides

sleeping and eating

mle apart from those things nothing else

matters now let's have no more silly

talk the first law of the Jungle is that

animals should live as nature intended

them to and you mustn't try to break

that law there must be more to it than

that there has to be a reason for all

this sleeping and eating a purpose to

life doesn't there

mowgly I'm sure living with that human

must have taught you some very useful

things but it's taught you some

dangerous things

too what are you doing here Lala what do

you

want she was looking at me I hope

nothing's wrong wrong far from it mowgly

I don't understand haven't you noticed

that Lala is always following you around

lately huh following me she's looking

for a chance to talk to you

mowgly I think she has a king-sized

crush on you what a crush on me L can't

stand the sight of me beira you're wrong

I've seen how she looks at you she may

have been hostile once but now her gaze

is full of admiration but it can be

laa I know it seems strange mowgly but I

think I'm right

[Music]

an

[Music]

assembly will everyone please be quiet

this meeting was supposed to be about

organizing our next hunt but AAA has

refused to climb up on the Rock because

he says he's too old to lead us anymore

finally realized he's over the

hill all right quiet down nobody else

around here thinks AAA is too old none

of the other wolves in the pack is ready

to take over the job of leading us does

everyone

agree please be our

leadera some wolves thought we should do

whatever we could to get Vermilion back

but now it doesn't look like that's

going to happen so the question is who's

going to lead our wolf pack I can tell

you who I think is the right wolf for

the job AAA he has the wisdom and the

experience to keep this pack healthy at

least till someone else comes along well

said you're right a please stay on as

leader AA you're the only one who can

lead us don't let us down AAA can't you

see that we need you we'll all Suffer

Without your

leadership the pack relies on your

courage and your understanding please

say you lead us we need you AAA more

than ever

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Hi

[Music]

l are you feeling all

right L say

something well I I guess I owe you an

apology

mowgly an

apology I'm sorry I said those terrible

things to you the other day it was very

mean of me to say the pack didn't want

you

anymore oh that's okay I I was upset

and I was all wrong about you mowgly

please forgive me well that's all I

wanted to say bye huh hey L wait

[Music]

[Music]

good work Pursuit group now circle to

the

right Ambush group move out

[Music]

go attack

[Applause]

[Music]

well mowgly how did the hunt go today oh

not bad

beira we caught 11 deer in all and we

put plenty in the emergency supply so

when hunting turns poor the pack will

still have enough to eat that's just

wonderful I'm always glad to hear that

my friends the wolves have had a good

hunt

well I imagine that new Fang of yours

came in handy

[Music]

today yes PIRA H I think the law of the

Jungle is a very sad law what do you

mean today as I was chasing the deer I

thought the only reason those poor

animals were born was so that Hunters

could chase them down

yes that's life the survival of the

fittest in the jungle weak animals exist

for the benefit of the strong that's how

it has always been mowgly we can't

change it but that's not fair don't you

see how sad it is to live that way beira

certainly not that's how we animals have

survived since the sun first rose in the

sky well maybe

so but isn't there some way the strong

and the weak could live together in

peace why I'll bet that's enough listen

mowgly

your experience of living with a human

has given you all sorts of new ideas and

they are very dangerous ideas now stop

this talk don't try to change the jungle

it's against the law but PIRA don't

argue mowgly if you really want to live

in the wolf pack then you must obey the

same law that all wolves obey it's the

law of the Jungle remember

that I wonder what made beira so angry

at me I still have a lot to

[Music]

learn

mother hey

what mother what's the matter have I

done something wrong I'm going inside

all

right no you're not allowed to come in

my Lair anyway more mowgly do you hear

you must find your own Lair but why why

must I go you should know by now but

mother what's

[Music]

[Applause]

happening what are you doing mother go

on get out both of you have we done

something wrong tell

[Music]

us mother what's the matter you stay out

of this mowgly get moving you two it's

time you both found yourselves a place

to live mother I said stay out of this

go go both of you I understand don't

stay here you must go come on

Sora I don't understand mother why did

you make them leave because they're

grown up it's time for them to go even

if they are grown up can't they stay

aren't they still part of the family the

law says they must go

it's my

turn I must go just like my brothers did

you understand the time has come for you

to make your own way I can't put it off

any longer but mother I'm not sure I'm

ready yet yes mowgly you're ready all

right

huh you've had many adventures and

everyone in the pack says you've grown

into a superb Hunter you'll have no

trouble fending for yourself mly but

hunting isn't everything there's still

so much I don't understand you'll never

know everything but you have to make up

your mind to go out on your own or

you'll always be a child wait give me a

day or two I need time to get ready

mowgly I didn't raise you to be a

weakling stop this whining and start

acting like a true son of Alexander but

I are you going or aren't you because if

you aren't

all right you win I'm leaving

[Music]

mother

goodbye but I'll come and visit now and

then if that's all right with you mother

[Music]

huh ah

H oh I guess this is your lair don't

worry I'm not hunting I'm just looking

for a place to

[Music]

stay huh nope no room for two in here

can't sleep in a tree I'd probably fall

[Music]

out this will do

[Music]

perfectly well maybe not quite perfectly

ah oh blo be careful you could really

hurt

somebody F still will

you I'll never be able to sleep with him

beside me

[Music]

slept beside me did you lucky you didn't

wake me up ble I'm a very light

sleeper normally the slightest sound is

enough to wake me up in an instant with

that snore of yours you couldn't have

heard a charging Buffalo what snore yes

what

snore hi hi beira hi Ki warning Aira

you're not going to believe what's

happened what won't I believe lorri has

told mgy to find a lair of his own at

last huh is that true

mhm

[Music]

excellent that shows that you're a

full-fledged wolf now full-fledged what

does that mean

it means he's an adult now ready to make

his own way I must say I'd begun to

wonder when the happy day was finally

going to come congratulations mowgly you

must be very pleased I don't see why his

mother threw him out of the lair I think

she's mean no Lor's a splendid mother it

must have been hard for her to make

mowgly leave the lair but she had to

isn't that right mgle

mhm at first I was hurt I thought it was

cruel of her to make me leave the lair

so soon but she was right i' lived at

home long enough it was time for me to

go out on my own yes now it's all up to

you mowgly you must make your own way in

the jungle and survive alone and I will

well I don't see what all the fuss is

about if mowgly has left his mother's

Lair then all that means is that he's

become a grownup animal just like the

rest of us that's one way of putting

it it's great news mowgly

mhm by the way mowgly if you're still

looking for a lair you're more than

welcome to stay in mine your lair is

much too tiny my Lair is the place for

you mowgly thank you both for your

generous invitations but pira's Lair

isn't big enough for twoo and at Belo I

wouldn't get any sleep so I've decided

that I'm going to build my very own Lair

huh build your own Lair are you joking

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

here it comes

[Music]

[Music]

now belue I want you to hold this log in

place right here sure mgly but I still

don't understand how you can build a

lair just you wait and

[Music]

see well it's finished

[Music]

so this is your lirer it looks solid

enough H I think I've seen a layer like

this before but where this is the kind

of layer humans use they call it a house

a house yes when I was living with that

human his lair was a lot like this one

only it was bigger it was very cozy but

I never dreamed I'd wind up building one

to live in myself I must say mowley this

is a lovely Lair would you mind if I

moved in with you oh no I know you

begira you'd hog the best sleeping

corner for yourself you take over the

lair it's mgy he needs his privacy isn't

that right mowgly

[Music]

huhuh Hi l I heard you moved out of L's

Lair you're on your own aren't you yes

mhm well best of

luck thanks a

lot my goodness Lala's had a change of

heart you could say

[Music]

so are you really going to live here

mowgly yeah it's perfect for me I love

it if you don't mind I'm going to have a

look

inside this is perfect let me have a

[Laughter]

try please be careful everybody this lir

took me a long time to build don't worry

mowgly we're warming it up

[Music]

sleep well MGI your mother loves you

very much

[Music]

a child is

learning in Nature's special way he's

beginning to see all the beauty in this

world 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 St

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

[Music]

jungle a child is
