     WHAT:      To celebrate the Premiere of WALT DISNEY PICTURES'
                THE JUNGLE BOOK 2.

                Disney's "The Jungle Book 2" adds an all-new animated
                chapter to one of the best-loved animated classics of all
                time.  Mowgli now lives in the man village, and he loves
                his new family and friends, especially his feisty little
                step-brother Ranjan and his best pal Shanti, the girl who
                initially wooed Mowgli from the jungle.  But Mowgli misses his
                buddy Baloo, who likewise pines for his little man-cub.  Baloo
                isn't the only one hoping to see Mowgli again soon -- Shere
                Khan impatiently awaits his revenge.  When Mowgli sneaks away
                to the jungle, the chase is on to see who will find Mowgli
                first -- his old pals, his new family, or the man-eating
                tiger.  It's an adventure packed with thrills, songs and fun
                for the whole family.  The film gets a musical boost from both
                a reprise of "The Bare Necessities" and Smash Mouth's rousing
                rendition of "I Wan'na Be Like You" as well as new tunes like
                the show-stopping "W-I-L-D" and the swinging beat of "Jungle
                Rhythm."
