Details

Rudyard Kipling's classic story about Mowgli, a young boy who is raised in the jungle by a family of wolves. When Sher Khan the tiger swears to kill the child, Baloo and Bagheera agree to take the boy to the man village for his safety. But the jungle holds dangers and surprises for them all - and Mowgli's extraordinary adventure has just begun! Behind every leaf, in every cave, up every tree and by every watering hole the most magical of animals can be found when you enter the world of The Jungle Book. In a celebration of colour, exquisite movement and evocative live music Mowgli begins his journey through the jungle. Guided by wolves, a big-old-bear and a gracious panther, he escapes the clutches of the boa constrictor and the money loving monkeys but lives with the shadow of a man and only ever a claws-reach away from the fearsome Shere Khan. Embrace the sights, sounds and heat of the jungle for the perfect family escape this Christmas
