(metal clanging in distance)

(tense music)

- Huh?

(grunts)

I smell danger.

(growls)

Mowgli must learn about this.

(growls)

(laughing)

- That tickles.

Okay, can I go?

I'm clean enough.

- Not yet.

I have to make sure you're clean all over.

You know that.

- Seems like a waste of time.

I'll only go out and get messy again.

- Mowgli.

I haven't finished yet.

- We'll do it when I come home.

- You always say that.

(gentle music)

(tense music)

- Huh?

Oh rats it's Baloo.

If he catches me he's gonna teach me stuff all day.

- Hey Bacchus, did you see that rabbit?

- Rabbit did you say?

Where?

Oh! (laughs)

Yum, yum.

- There you are Mowgli.

I've been looking for you.

- Well, that's that.

(happy music)

- So you fooled old Baloo, did ya?

Good for you.

He worries too much.

- Maybe, but he knows a lot, Baloo does.

- Okay, so he knows a lot.

But he's told it all to me,

so I don't have to listen anymore.

I fooled him and that proves I'm smarter than he is.

- You're not smarter.

You're just sneakier, that's all.

- [Mowgli] Why you!

- Just ignore her Mowgli, come on, let's go and play.

- That's right, go and play.

Go and play your silly games, you buncha babies.

It's all you're good for.

I have better things to do.

- Babies?

You'd better watch who you call babies.

- Right Lala, we aren't babies, you are.

(laughs)

- I say I can do anything better than you

and I'll prove it.

We'll have a contest.

I dare you. - Any time you want, Lala.

- I don't know if this is such a great idea.

- Sura knows the rule,

don't bite off more than you can chew.

You poor kids are in over your heads.

You better back down before it's too late.

- Back down?

Not on your life.

- Hmm.

(snarling)

Okay, so you're taking up the challenge.

Shall we race?

- You're on.

I bet we can beat you to Mowgli's Masch.

(happy music)

(yawns)

- I see Lala's conned someone

into playing with her for once.

(panting)

- I could've run faster if I'd wanted to.

But I didn't wanna hurt your feelings.

- Listen Lala, I've got a better idea for a test.

I'll race you over to the island and back again.

- [Foxes] Um hmm.

- I'm just going to beat you again you know.

(boys snarling)

Hmm.

- Go on Mowgli. - You can do it.

- Um hmm.

Ready, set, go!

(playful music)

(gasps)

Bye, see ya at the finish line.

(laughing)

Can't catch me.

(gasps)

- Well?

- Baloo!

- That's an angry looking bear Sura.

- Angry?

He's furious.

- Akru, Sura.

Hey that's no fair.

- I beat you again Mowgli.

- You did not.

Well maybe you did, but I'dve beat you by a mile

if it hadn't been for Baloo.

- Hmm!

(playful music)

It's Baloo's fault?

Come on, that's just an excuse.

I told you I'd prove it.

You're still a big baby.

And I'm gonna tell everyone.

(growls)

- [Baloo] Mowgli!

- I was winning that race Baloo.

But she beat me again and it's all your fault.

- You know it's time for your lesson.

- Alright, I'm ready.

- Now listen Mowgli.

You may hear a new sound

or pick up a scent you're not familiar with.

Stay away from it.

Well away, do you hear?

Because it's probably a cold fang.

- A cold fang?

What's a cold fang?

- Fear it.

It is different from all the other dangers in the jungle.

It's not alive.

- Come on!

If it's not even alive, why should I be afraid of it?

- Because, there are some on the north bank of the river.

- The north bank of the river?

Right.

(exclaims)

- And another place to watch out for

is that tuft of reeds in the stream.

And they-- - A frog!

(playful music)

(laughs)

- Mowgli!

(Mowgli gasps)

- Aw, why did you have to do that?

- This is important, Mowgli.

You must pay attention.

- The frog was important.

So was my race with Lala.

And you spoiled it.

You always spoil everything.

You go on and on and on and I have to listen to you

for hours every day.

It's boring and I'm sick of it.

I want to play.

So just leave me alone.

And if you want somebody to talk to,

go see Akela.

- Mowgli!

You can't go yet.

I haven't finished your lesson.

- That's what you think.

- Mowgli!

(punch thuds) (Mowgli exclaims)

I'm sorry Mowgli.

- Too late!

I never want to see you again!

- Huh?

(Mowgli sobs)

Aw Mowgli.

- Wait a second Baloo.

I understand that you had to teach the man cub his lessons,

but did you have to hit him as hard as that?

- Mind your own business!

- Be that way!

But you'll get no more advice from me.

(yawning)

- [Kichi] You and Baloo made so much noise you woke me up.

The two of you really get worked up about Mowgli,

don't you? - I'll have you know

I never get worked up.

(laughing)

what is it you find so funny?

- If you're that worried about him,

why don't you go after him?

That's why you came, isn't it?

- Ridiculous Kichi.

I came to get a drink of water.

Hmm!

(slurping)

(laughing)

- Wow, Baloo really let me have it with that paw of his.

I wonder what made him so angry all of a sudden.

- Mowgli! - Huh?

- Mowgli, where are you?

(laughing)

- He couldn't find me if he looked all day.

- [Baloo] Please Mowgli, answer me.

I'm sorry Mowgli.

I just wanted to warn you.

- Silly old bear, he can just keep looking.

I'm gonna find someplace

where he'll never think of looking for me

and I'm gonna play all day.

- [Mowgli] I wanted to warn you about the cold fang.

- I wonder what it's like.

It sounds creepy, but it might be kind of interesting.

Baloo would never look for me there.

Yes, that's where I'll go.

(happy, pensive music)

- Baloo.

- Uh, oh hello dearie.

I just dropped by to see if Mowgli was at home.

- Oh, I thought he was with you.

- Oh well--

- Mowgli, where are you?

Oh.

Fancy meeting you here.

- Has something happened to Mowgli?

- Well I...

- What's the matter Bagheera?

- Uh, I wanted to have a little chat with him.

Nothing important you understand.

Just to tell him to mind his manners.

He's been a bit saucy.

- Not likely story.

You spoil him Bagheera,

and if you don't stop you'll spoil him rotten.

- You're a fine one to talk.

- Bagheera, tell me what's wrong.

- Don't worry my dear.

It'll work itself out.

Um, goodbye for now.

- Oh dear me.

Mowgli's done it again.

(happy music)

- Wow!

Hey, wait up!

Where are you?

Don't be scared.

I won't hurt you.

I just want to get a good look at your feathers.

(gasps)

That must be the North River.

Hey, I found them again.

(startling tone)

Incredible!

(howling)

- Huh?

- Akela is sounding the signal to assemble early.

(tense music)

- Attention, this is serious.

Has anyone here seen Mowgli today?

- I didn't, did you?

- No, I haven't seen him since yesterday.

(all murmuring)

- Akela, this morning Mowgli and Lala

were with Sura and me.

But he was gonna spend the rest of the day with Baloo.

- Oh.

- Akela, I must know the truth.

- Baloo?

- The fact is I lost my temper with him today

and I cuffed him.

So he ran away and hid and I can't find him anywhere.

- I see.

Well he can be very irritating at times, I know.

Don't worry about it too much Baloo.

- Hmm? - That's right.

Why worry?

He was asking for it.

So forget about him.

- I can't forget about him.

(tense music)

This morning, I heard the dreadful sound

of the cold fang.

(group gasps)

I told him it was dangerous but he wouldn't pay attention.

So I hit him and that's when he ran off and left me behind.

He doesn't understand the law of the jungle yet.

He doesn't know what happens to those who break it.

If he gets hurt.

I'd give anything to bring him back

but I can't do it alone.

Please, all of you.

Will you help me search for Mowgli?

Find him.

- For the honor of the wolf pack, Mowgli must be found.

Agreed?

(wolves howling)

- Baloo, thank you for all you're doing for Mowgli.

- I'm not doing it for him.

I'm doing it for me.

- What?

- Akela, if you find him, call.

- I'll start looking.

- Luri, someone has to stay behind at the lair.

In case he finds his way home.

- I know that but--

- He will need you here.

- I think you're right.

(tense music)

- Lala, aren't you going to help the others look for him?

- Why should I?

I don't care what happens to him, not one little bit.

But if I was the one who found him,

I could really tell him off.

(laughing)

- Don't forget, beware of the cold fang.

Bagheera, are you going to join the hunt?

- Akela, you know what Baloo said just before he left,

that he wasn't doing it for Mowgli,

he was doing it for himself?

Tell me what he meant.

- It was a long time ago.

Baloo was no older than Mowgli is now.

(gentle music)

(laughing)

(exclaiming)

(crying)

(exclaims)

(whimpering)

(laughing)

- Watch.

(laughing)

Wait.

Baloo, Baloo!

- Old Baloo was a wild one.

His mother tried to teach him the law of the jungle,

but he wouldn't listen.

She never had a chance to warn him

about the cold fang.

- Stop, Baloo come back here this minute,

do you hear me?

No Baloo.

Don't go down there, it's dangerous.

(tense music)

No Baloo, no!

Baloo!

(Baloo exclaims) (punch thuds)

(mother exclaims)

- Mother.

- I can smell the scavengers, the wild dogs.

- Mother.

- Go now, run for your lives.

(grunts)

There, the dholes.

(punches thudding)

- [Akela] By the time we wolves arrived to help,

only Baloo was left.

We chased the dholes away.

And took Baloo back with us.

Poor Baloo.

It was a hard lesson.

That was how he learned to obey the law of the jungle.

(panting) (tense music)

- Not the river.

Oh no.

He wouldn't go there.

(mysterious music)

- Huh?

Gotcha!

You come back here!

You're gonna be sorry you stupid birds.

(snapping) (yelling)
