German kids and animation outfit Studio 100 International and Gaumont Animation are joining forces on a new animated series inspired by Rudyard Kipling’s classic The Jungle Book. The series, tentatively titled Jungle Book: Cub Club Adventures, is currently in early development and will explore Mowgli’s life before the age of 11.
Created by Josh Fisher, Jungle Book: Cub Club Adventures is being planned as a series of 52, 11-minute episodes targeting preschool kids and their families. The storylines will focus on Mowgli’s adventures with his young animal friends in the jungle, a period before we meet him in previous Jungle Book adaptations. Gaumont Animation and Studio 100 will be bringing the show to Cannes and the international television market MIPCOM later this month, seeking production and financing partners.
