In the movie Mowgli Legend of the Jungle, a human child raised by wolves, must face off against a menacing tiger named Shere Khan, as well as his own origins.
This big screen version of The Jungle Book is not from Walt Disney Pictures, but from Netflix. In this live action version of the film Andy Serkis directs and Cate Blanchett, Christian Bale, and Benedict Cumberbatch star.
