Disney has released a new TV spot for Jon Favreau's (Iron Man) all-new
live-action/CGI take on Rudyard Kipling’s timeless tale, The Jungle Book.
The story centers on Mowgli (Neel Sethi), a man-cub who’s been raised by a
family of wolves. But Mowgli finds he is no longer welcome in the jungle when
fearsome tiger Shere Khan (Idris Elba), who bears the scars of Man, promises to
eliminate what he sees as a threat. Urged to abandon the only home he’s ever
known, Mowgli embarks on a captivating journey of self-discovery, guided by
panther-turned-stern mentor Bagheera (Ben Kingsley), and the free-spirited bear
Baloo (Bill Murray). Along the way, Mowgli encounters jungle creatures who
don’t exactly have his best interests at heart, including Kaa (Scarlett
Johansson), a python whose seductive voice and gaze hypnotizes the man-cub, and
the smooth-talking King Louie (Christopher Walken), who tries to coerce Mowgli
into giving up the secret to the elusive and deadly red flower, fire.
The Jungle Book opens in theaters on April 15.
The all-star cast also includes Lupita Nyong’o as the voice of the fiercely
protective mother wolf Raksha, and Giancarlo Esposito as the voice of wolf
pack’s alpha male Akela. “The Jungle Book” seamlessly blends live-action with
photorealistic CGI animals and environments, using up-to-the-minute technology
and storytelling techniques to immerse audiences in an enchanting and lush
world.
