New The Jungle Book Clips and Featurette

Mowgli and Baloo

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.

Review: Disney’s The Jungle Book App

Disney Classics - The Jungle Book

I’m happy that Disney has release a Jungle Book app for the iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad. Now I can share this story with my kids starting with Eva.
