About Disney’s The Jungle Book
Directed by Jon Favreau and produced by Favreau and Brigham Taylor, “The Jungle Book” is a live-action epic adventure based on Rudyard Kipling’s timeless stories. It’s inspired by Disney’s classic 1967 animated film and centered on Mowgli (Neel Sethi), a man-cub who’s been raised by a family of wolves.
Mowgli finds he is no longer welcome in the jungle when fearsome tiger Shere Khan (voice of Idris Elba), who bears the scars of Man, promises to eliminate what he sees as a threat.
The film’s musical score is composed by Emmy® winner and Oscar-, BAFTA- and Annie Award-nominee John Debney. It features a classic orchestral sound accented by ethnic instruments. It pays homage to the original film by highlighting snippets of the classic songs we all know and love.
The Jungle Book Blu-ray and digital HD versions include these bonus features:
