Forget about your worries and your strife, The Jungle Book trailer has arrived!
Jason Bourne wasn’t the only character revisiting screens at last night’s Super Bowl as audiences were treated to a viewing of Mowgli and the loveable bear Baloo in The Jungle Book trailer.
It follows the story of young Mogwli, a boy raised by wolves in the Indian forest. When the jungle is taken over by the evil tiger Shere Khan, Mogwli must rely on the help and advice of his fellow jungle friends to survive. Originally released in 1967, The Jungle Book became an instant Disney classic with songs like ‘The Bear Necessities’ and ‘I Wanna Be Like You’.
The remake is a far cry from the original animated feature. Directed by Jon Favreau (Iron Man) and from the studio of Pirates of the Caribbean, The Jungle Book has plenty of action and a more sinsiter feel to it than ever before. It's always a risk taken on a beloved children's classic but with a cast boasting the names of Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba, Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray, The Jungle Book will hopefully bring back to life this Disney gem for future generations to enjoy.
Get ready to have The Bear Necessities on repeat in your head with the trailer below.
