Nobody noticed it, but over the last two years, director Jon Favreau built a jungle in Downtown Los Angeles.
Seen this last night! Awesome movie! Only in 3D, which was even better!
If you’ve seen Disney’s great animated movie from 1967, you know what the story is here – though this live-action version of the classic tale has a splash of The Lion King thrown in for good dramatic measure. It follows Mowgli(Neel Sethi), a young boy/Man-cub who has lived in the jungle for as long as he can remember – raised by a pack of wolves led by Akela(Giancarlo Esposito) and Raksha(Lupita Nyong’o). While Mowgli is certainly seen as a strange presence amongst the other animals in the community, he is largely accepted… that is, until the scarred tiger Shere Khan(Idris Elba) arrives back on the scene.
Based on the 1890s’ Jungle Book story series by Rudyard Kipling, on which Disney developed their iconic 1967 animated film, the 2016 live-action Jungle Book sets a high bar for esteemed cartoon movies-turned-modern live-action features.
We all grew up watching jungle book. Make sure you watch it in 3d or else you will miss the fun. Stunning graphics and awesome acting by the lead actor. Its a movie you can watch it with your family.
Its an amazing movie. Its kind of remind me of my childhood days.
