Disney is gearing up for the release of the newest adaptation of their classic The Jungle Book on April 15th.
The tale follows Mowgli, a “man cub” raised in the jungle by a pack of wolves after being discovered by a panther Bagheera as a baby. As a young boy, he is forced to leave the only family he’s ever known after his presence gains the attention of the fearsome tiger Shere Khan.
The film stars newcomer Neel Sethi as Mowgli, Bill Murray as Baloo, Idris Elba as Shere Khan, Scarlett Johanssen as Kaa, Lupita Nyong’o as mother wolf Raksha , Ben Kingsley as Bagheera, and Christopher Walken as King Louie.
From the trailers it looks like Disney and director Jon Favreau did an amazing job of effortless blending live-action and CGI animation for a raw, believable, and adventurous portrayal of the child favorite. You can watch both trailers below and don’t miss The Jungle Book when it hits theaters April 15.
