Old movie title, Jungle Book variant?

I got a rather spontaneous urge the other day to watch an old movie I
loved when I was a kid. It's a variant on the Jungle Book, but I can't
figure out WHICH version it was. I know it was live action and the
animals could talk. I remember Sher Kan making a joke about "chewing
Tabaqi", one of the wolves taunting Mowgli about being able to
out-hunt him "with two paws tied behind my back", and Bagheera and
Mowgli having a staring contest. I also remember him holding a book
and a picture he found when some monkeys tricked him and locked him in
an abandoned hut. And I think I remember his wolf mother telling Sher
Kan he would kill Mowgli "over her dead body", to which he replies
"WITH PLEASURE" and kills her. I don't think there's a single seen in
there with him as an adult, but I may be wrong.

Can anyone possibly tell me the title of this version, it's release
year, and the company and/or producer? I really don't want to watch
six or eight different versions before finding the one I'm looking
for.
