One of Walt Disney’s animated classics is coming back to the big screen in an epic way. The Jungle Book swings into theaters on April 15th and I cannot wait! The film is based on Rudyard Kipling’s stories and inspired by the 1967 movie.
Mowgli, played by newcomer Neel Sethi, is a man-cub who's been raised by a family of wolves. But Shere Khan (Idris Elba) makes it clear that he is no longer welcome in the jungle. Forced to abandon the only home he has ever known, Mowgli sets out on a journey of self-discovery, guided by Bagheera (Ben Kingsley), and everyone's favorite bear Baloo (Bill Murray).
Mowgli can't forget about his worries for too long, the jungle is full of perils. He meets Kaa (Scarlett Johansson), the hypnotic python, and King Louie (Christopher Walken) who is determined to learn how to make man's red flower.
The Jungle Book seamlessly blends live-action with photorealistic CGI animals and environments, using up-to-the-minute technology and storytelling techniques to immerse audiences in an enchanting and lush world.
Get ready to go into the jungle like never before.
This trailer gets me so pumped for the movie. It looks like it is going to be AMAZING!

I loved the animated version, but the jury is still out on this one. The activities are cute 🙂
The CGI in this movie looks incredible. The original is such a classic Disney movie looking forward to seeing how this one compares.
We saw the trailer when we were in Florida a couple of months ago and it looks awesome!
I’m not sure if I can take the little ones though..there were a couple of scary scenes in the trailer but I for one will be watching this movie when it comes out.
Now this is fun! We also can’t wait to see the movie. I’m so curious to hear more about how they made it. It’s visually stunning.
OMG I cannot wait to see this. I am in my 50’s and I saw the ORIGINAL Jungle Book at the show when I was a kid….this looks SO much better.
I am looking forward to seeing this movie with my little cousins. I like the activity set that is available because it will help keep them excited until the release date.
I can’t wait to see this movie. I’ve always been a fan of The Jungle Book, and this looks great!
What fun activities to get the kids excited. Then again I am excited to.
No Way…. The Jungle Book is coming back to the big screen?? My hubby and I would love to see this. I only wish I could take my daughter to see this, but she’s too young to sit through a movie.
My favorite childhood movie! I am so eager to see this. That printable is just a-maz-ing!
I am dying to see this movie and the activity sheets are great!
This is so much fun! We can’t wait to see the movie. My son is really looking forward to it!
I think this is one I might wait until it comes to DVD. While I just LOVE the animated movie, I’m not so sure I’m up for the live action with this one.
This is going to be such a big hit. Once March rolls around, I count the days until our drive in movies opens. I hope this plays there.
I do think it’s going to be great. I’d love to see it with my little one.
I can’t wait to take my boys to see this one! Thanks for the printables!
I am so looking forward to seeing this movie. It looks so adorable. – Katy
It’s going to be really hard to beat the original Jungle Book movie but I’m going to give this one a chance. I’m excited that Idris Elba is in it–love him in “Luther”.
I love that they made this movie over. I know I’m thoroughly going to enjoy this version.
I always like it when I can get fun and educational things to go along with the movies my children enjoy. The ones you shared here look like a lot of fun. I like that the children will learn things while doing the activities.
