Storyline
In 1887, during the British Raj in India, Mowgli is the 5-year-old son of the widowed Nathoo, whose wife died in childbirth. Local hunter Buldeo and two soldiers kill several animals for sport, which enrages Shere Khan, a tiger who serves as the jungle’s keeper, and he begins to pursue the tour group. That night, Kitty gives Mowgli her late mother’s bracelet as a gift.

“I enjoy picturing the characters in the novel and then later, seeing them on the screen, comparing how they're different.”
