Mowgli

Mowgli is the protagonist of "The Jungle Book" and its sequel "The Jungle Book 2". He is a "man cub", which is a term for a juvenile human. Of course, he was orphaned and raised by a family of wolves for the first ten years, until Shere Khan was arriving. His first close friend Bagheera, who had found him in the broken boat where his parents had drowned, was taking him to a man village for his own safety, to Mowgli's own dismay. Later, he makes friends with Hathi Jr, the youngest of the herd and the son of Colonel Hathi, and eventually, though not at first, with the sloth bear Baloo, who teaches him to have fun. Nothing can change Mowgli's mind about going into the man village until sometime after defeating Shere Khan and Baloo's unconsciousness from fighting, he sees a young girl arriving to get water in a pot from the river. He is so attracted to her, especially when she looks at him, that she deliberately drops the pot from her head. So he refills the pot and with it on his head, follows her into the village.
In the sequel, he is shown to have been adopted by the village leader and his wife Messua, who both have a biological son named Ranjan.
Mowgli is voiced by Bruce Reitherman in the first film and Haley Joel Osment in the sequel.
