Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book

Based On the book by Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, also known as The Jungle Book, is a 1994 American adventure film co-written and directed by Stephen Sommers, produced by Edward S. Feldman and Raju Patel, from a story by Ronald Yanover and Mark Geldman. An independent production funded by MDP Worldwide, the film's distribution rights were acquired by Buena Vista Pictures in most territories in exchange for Disney providing half of the film's overall budget. The film is based on the Mowgli stories from The Jungle Book (1894) and The Second Jungle Book (1895) by Rudyard Kipling, but mostly focuses on the plotline of the second book. It also adapts some elements from Walt Disney's 1967 animated adaptation, like the appearance of King Louie, a character created for said film, or the character Kaa acting as an antagonist instead of an ally like in the books.
