The Jungle Book is adapted from the 1967 animated film as the Kipling short stories. It follows a young boy named Mowgli (Neel Sethi) on his journey from being raised by wolves to becoming the king of the jungle. The film also features the voice work of Idris Elba as the tiger villain Shere Khan, Scarlett Johansson as the slinky serpent Kaa, Lupita Nyong’o as the mother wolf Raksha, Christopher Walken as King Louie, and Ben Kingsley as the black leopard Bagheera and Bill Murray as Baloo.

Disney’s president of production Sean Bailey talked about how The Jungle Book could not have been brought to life earlier, as every aspect needed to be presented in a photorealistic way. Favreau was chosen to direct because the studio needed a filmmaker “who could get the nuance of the source material and the story’s legacy in Disney history.”

The Jungle Book is not entirely CGI, there are live-action settings and sequences, but the animals are entirely animated.  The only character that shall be ‘Live’ would be of Mowgli’s played by newcomer Neel Sethi.

Apart from this one, even Warner Bros is also working on gritty adaptation of the book directed by Andy Serkis titled Jungle Book. The Jungle Book (1894) is a collection of stories by English author Rudyard Kipling which were first published in magazines in 1893–94.

Favreau’s The Jungle Book opens in 3D on 15 April, 2016.
