Mowgli's adventure takes him back and forth from the jungle to the village as he tries to find a way to stay with his jungle friends and fend off Buldeo and Shere Khan. Along the way, he meets Kaa, a giant snake who is more helpful than harmful and learns a valuable lesson about being true to oneself and following one's heart.
