Not enough anyway to justify me paying for a whole new copy. But I have become aware there is a 9 minute alternate/deleted scene on the disc showing a totally different return to the Man Village for Mowgli. This I desperately wanna see. I have heard that it in fact introduces his parents. The opening scene of the movie (with the sunken boat he is found in as a baby) always bothered me as a child. I mean what happened there? While I'm sure no such questions will be answered in this alternate scene, having his parents turn up at all I just find fascinating. Can anybody please share this deleted segment with me perhaps as a video upload so I can watch it finally? Thank you.

You may need to wait a month or two, but it seems like most bonus features get posted there in some form

Originally Posted By basil fan I don't think you can stream bonus discs. IF there are bonus features on the same disc as the movie, you can try getting the disc sent to your house. Not much of a chance, I'll grant you, but it's all I could think of.
