Synopsis
A faithful adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's classic tale of Mowgoli the jungle boy who is raised by wolves after being lost when a tiger attacked an encampment and killed his father. Years later he finds himself re-united with his childhood love Kitty and back in the "civilization" of Colonial India which he finds far less civilized then his jungle haunts. The search for a lost treasure shows who the truly civilized members of society are.

Critics' reviews
- "An action-packed love story with something for everyone."
- "An efficient, good-looking production that amounts to the kind of safari with which Disney's customers will feel comfortable"
- "Simplistic and corny, this adaptation by director (and co-writer) Stephen Sommers nonetheless delivers the goods"
- "Beautifully photographed and tightly paced with a spate of solid performances, this latest Kipling-inspired motion picture is an enjoyable and exuberant film-going experience"
- "If this version of The Jungle Book makes for a fable that is thinner than it might have been, the film is splendidly picturesque and moves along briskly"
