Disney’s THE JUNGLE BOOK is now playing all over. I really want to see this one and again am kicking myself for not having the time to go out and meet the cast and go to the Premiere. THE JUNGLE BOOK was one of my favorite Disney movies and I’ve read the Rudyard Kipling book several times. I think it is time to read it to Eva and Andrew. Maybe we can do that during vacation.
Below I have a small featurette about the voices of the animals in the cast. I love seeing people recording their voices for movies like this. It looks like fun.
While several of my friends are getting all ready to walk the red carpet to see the new live action movie, The Jungle Book, I’m watching vicariously from social media. I was invited to attend but couldn’t get extra time off. I would have loved to have met Jon Favreau. I have been a fan of his work for a long time and the animated Jungle Book is one of my all time favorite movies. I even tried to watch it yesterday to get Andrew to calm down and go to sleep. The original is slow by today’s standards and so a little boy who is super active and has to slow down a bit my succumb to the charms of a snake like Kaa and get some rest. But alas, no, he was monkeying around like King Louie the whole time. I had to invoke my Shere Khan voice to try and settle him. Didn’t work. I hope that my friends have an amazing time at the premiere and enjoy the movie, which looks beautiful. You can see some examples of the work from the movie below including two clips and one featurette.
