Avi Yaffe

A story about a shy and not so popular boy named Tom that keeps dreaming of having super powers until one day he gets his wish, and finds himself to be the best in everything along with a growing need of sweets to sustain his powers.

In the magical forest, the elephants dance and shake the whole jungle. The monkeys at the top of the trees make faces at the sly snake and the pack of wolves is joined by a new member - his name is Mowgli. Mowgli, a baby who is alone in the jungle, is adopted by the pack. The viewers follow Mowgli, how he survives, how his friends Bagheera the panther and Baloo the bear manage to save him from Shirkhan, the terrible tiger who wants to kill him. And finally the meeting with the human daughter, Mowgli's falling in love with Bana and the difficult decision to leave the forest.

Dorothy and Toto go on an adventure trip to the magic potion. Already at the beginning they are joined by Kash Kash - the straw scarecrow who wants more than anything for the magician to put some sense into his head, Pah Pah - the tin man whose heart is lost and dreams that the magician will give him a new heart so that he can feel again. The third entrant is a cowardly lion who yearns for the magician to give him courage. It seems that nothing will stop the gang. Neither the distance nor the dangers lurking on their way. Together they will overcome the obstacles such as an encounter with the three witches - Apricots and other encounters with a host of strange creatures.

"Hero of the Jungle" is a rare film produced for the Children's Channel during the original production at Beit Lissin in December 1996. The film documents the behind-the-scenes of the play which is now back on stage after 28 years with Tovia Tzafir, Tom Avni, Sasi Keshet, Avi Yaffe, Yossi Toledo, Eli Danker, and Pinny Kidron. Hanoch Rosen directed, Miron Minster composed (Ariel Zilber also contributed), and Ephraim Sidon wrote. Behind the scenes were added to the DVD released in 2013. They are half humorous and half serious.
