Rudyard Kipling

Presents the three adventures of Mowgli, a young boy raised by the animals in an Indian jungle, as well as other animal stories and songs.

The adventures of Mowgli, reared by the jungle wolf packs and educated by wild animals.

Here are the delightful stories which Kipling first told his own children before setting them down on paper. How the camel got his hump, how the leopard got his spots, how the elephant got his trunk, the butterfly that stamped and many others. They remain popular, entertaining every generation, partly because of the story and partly because of the vivid way they are written.

A brief, simplified retelling of the episode in "The Jungle Book" during which a very curious mongoose becomes a house pet and races a snake to see who will be "Master of the Garden."

Because of his "satiable curtiosity" about what the crocodile has for dinner, the elephant's child and all elephants thereafter have long trunks.

Based on a Rudyard Kipling story and packed with spectacle, humor, excitement and bold twists of fate, John Huston's film of The Man Who Would be King earns its crown as "an epic like no other. One of the screen's great adventure yarns" (Danny Peary, Guide for the Film Fanatic). Sean Connery and Michael Caine -- chins out, shoulders squared and with a sly wink -- star as British Sargeants Danny Dravot and Peachy Carnehan. The Empire was built by men...

The animal friends of Mowgli, a boy raised by wolves, escort him out of the jungle to keep him safe in Disney's version of Rudyard Kipling's classic tale.
