Its Celebration Time at Camp Jungle Book

CANNES, France, October 5/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- It was celebration time at camp Jungle Book as DQ Entertainment and Partners launched the 1st full Episode of The Jungle Book here today. DQE along with ZDF and ZDF-Enterprises, NBC Universal, TF1, ABC Australia , MoonScoop, BBC and Disney screened the 1st full 11' episode of Jungle Book ' The Wild Black Bees' at Hotel Martinez in the august presence of many industry & media Stalwarts. The gala screening received tremendous applause from the audience as they watched the adrenal filled adventures of Mowgli & his jungle friends.

Based on Rudyard Kipling's classic story, The Jungle Book series comes to life for the first time in 3D CGI 52 x 11 minute television series and a 60 minutes television feature in Hi-definition CGI animation. A stereoscopic feature film is expected to follow soon as the team at DQE is working on the technology for stereoscopic production for the second season. This will enable High definition viewing for the viewers with the option to view the 3D stereoscopic version with special viewing glasses.

The series will narrate the stories of the man-cub, Mowgli, raised in the Indian jungles where his only companions are animals. The series is filled with drama, excitement and adventure mixed with comedy as it unfolds Mowgli's escapades especially from his enemy Sher Khan, the royal Tiger with the help of Baloo the wise bear, Bagheera - the Black Panther and (sometimes!) the mighty Kaa - The rock python.

Mowgli's adventures open out in the lush tropical forest of Seeonee amidst splendid Indian royal forts, temples, waterfalls and the Waingunga river. Throughout the series other characters from the Kipling stories also add flavour to the drama, comedy and action bringing out excellent animation and quality story telling.

Tapaas Chakravarti, Chairman & CEO of DQ Entertainment Plc commented: We are ecstatic with the response to the first episode that was screened at Cannes, MIPCOM to a very select audience of broadcasters, partners and media. We are grateful to the support by ZDF group and all our partners without whom we could not have achieved so much on the jungle book series.
