This is a 27" x 40" US folded double-sided one-sheet for the 1994
Stephen Sommers film The Jungle Book very loosely based on the
Rudyard Kipling book with screenplay by Stephen Sommers, Ronald
Yanover and Mark Geldman and starring Jason Scott Lee as Mowgli. The
story in this non-animated film is a huge departure from all previous
film versions of The Jungle Book, for starters in the complete
absence of any idea that Mowgli is raised from infancy by animals, and
then in the much more extensive development of Mowgli's relationship
with Kitty, the girl he knew as a child before joining the animals.
Plot summary: Instead of being found and taken to a wolf pack by the
black panther Bagheera as an infant, at the age of five Mowgli [Sean
Naegeli] wanders away from a group of people in the jungle. Here is
where Bagheera finds him with his pet wolf pup, Grey Brother, and
takes him to the wolf pack. Years later when Mowgli has become a man
he has another encounter with the same group of people, where he finds
Kitty [Lena Headey] again and falls in love with her. The romance
does not go well at this point, and after learning to dance and speak
English Mowgli decides to return to the jungle because he is more at
home there. He is pursued by a group interested in getting
information from him about a lost jungle city and its treasure. In
the ensuing conflict Mowgli prevails with the help of his animal
friends, is reunited with Kitty and becomes lord of the jungle.
