Adventures of Mowgli was a film made in 1973, which itself was comprised of five animated short films, each twenty minutes in length. It was made in the Soviet Union, though dubs into other languages exist; Charlton Heston narrated the English version.

The film follows Mowgli and his adventures in the jungle, accompanied by Bagheera (a female in this version) and Baloo, his friends who help him out of tough spots and teach him the Law of the Jungle. He encounters various animals who help him understand the Jungle, and he makes friends with all of them except one: Shere Khan the tiger.
