Jungle book returns

Everyone will rememeber the jungle book. Children's favourite jungle hero Mowgli, Baloo the bear and panther Bagheera will soon return to the small screen in a new hi-tech avatar.The BBC will broadcast the new adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's classic ''The Jungle Book'', which has been made in India at the cost of 8 million pounds. It is the first animated version of the stories since the hugely popular 1967 Disney feature film but has been created by computer instead of being hand-drawn. The BBC bought the programmes in a 1 million pounds deal with Indian independent production company DQ Entertainment. The 52-part series will air on Children''s BBC later this year.
