MUMBAI: Disney Channel, the flagship kids channel from Walt Disney India, is strengthening its morning band by launching its globally popular adventure show Peter Pan and bringing back Jungle Cubs, the animated series based on 1967 feature film, The Jungle Book.

Peter Pan, which is set to go on-air on 25 February at 11 am, is a classic tale of adventures that await Wendy and her brothers when Peter Pan, the hero of their stories, whisks them away to the magical world of Never Land.

The series is based on 1953 American animated film produced by Walt Disney and based on the play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn?t Grow Up by JM Barrie.

The Jungle Cubs, which is set in the youth of the popular animal characters, will make its debut on 27 February at 10.30 am on Disney Channel.

The animated series follows the adventures of six familiar-and-feisty-characters of The Jungle Book - Baloo, Bagheera, Sher Khan, Kaa, and Hathi.

Jungle Cubs will also feature the popular original songs from the movie and reprises ?The Bare Necessities?, the Academy Award-nominated song from the 1967 motion picture, as the theme of the show.
