Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for anyone with a bit of wanderlust and a family movie night. A good one for when you want to be swept off somewhere else. Shelve it next to The Jungle Book.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Bright and bouncy, at 19 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1967: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

Episode 1. A small child falls into the jungle in the wolf family. He liked the mother wolf Raksha, which gave him the tiger Sher Khan. The wolves raised a human baby named Mowgli. But life in a wolf pack is subject to the law of the jungle. The Council of the pack should decide whether Mowgli live among the beasts or eaten by Shere Khan.
