Great animated adaptation of the classic Kipling tale of a young mongoose and his struggles against a pair of vicious cobras.

Animated. Narrated by Orson Welles.

I wanted a mongoose so bad as a kid after watching this.

You and me both ... I remember watching it later in life not believing it was so short when I showed my kids

Do you know that there are TWO Jungle Books?

Great stories!

One of my favorites:

Rudyard Kipling: The Miracle of Purun Bhagat

English writer Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) shows a rare and insightful sympathy with the sannyasin of Hindu India in this tale from his “Second Jungle Book.”
