SNEAK PEEK: JON FAVREAU, BILL MURRY, SCARLETT JOHANSSON & LUPITA NYONG’O TALK ABOUT THE LIVE-ACTION MOVIE “THE JUNGLE BOOK”

Disney’s new incarnation of the 1967 classic The Jungle Book, is not only visually stunning, it also opens up the charming tale to a new audience, while re-engaging adults into a world of splendid fantasy.

Most of us have seen the classic Disney tale, The Jungle Book. As with all Disney stories, they become classics that you can watch over and over again (ok, Frozen might be an exception for most parents at this point).

As they begin to release new stories in live-action format, Disney is taking things to new heights, sending us into new, fantastical worlds.

This time around, The Jungle Book gets an amazing re-telling in live-action. Directed by Jon Favreau, and starring buzzed about young star, Neel Sethi, whom critics are calling his performance “remarkable.”

Raised by a family of wolves since birth, Mowgli (Sethi) must leave the only home he’s ever known when the fearsome tiger Shere Khan (Idris Elba) unleashes his mighty roar. Guided by a stern panther (Ben Kingsley) and a free-spirited bear (Bill Murray), the young boy meets an array of jungle animals, including a slithery python (Scarlett Johansson) and a smooth-talking ape. Along the way, Mowgli learns valuable life lessons as his epic journey of self-discovery leads to fun and adventure.

In this Disney featurette, Jon Favreau, Bill Murry, Lupita NYong’o and Scarlett Johansson talk about what’s new and why fans will love it.

Disney’s The Jungle Book hits theatres on April 15.
