The Jungle Book
The original Jungle Book is one of those films that will continue to touch generation after generation. But when Disney released the teaser for the live-action version, fans’ excitement shot through the roof.
“This smash hit pretty much solidified Disney’s plan to remake their classic animations into live action,” wrote Cinema Blend’s Matt Wood. “Grossing over $966 million, the film became the fifth highest-grossing movie of 2016 — a very good year for Disney. Incorporating some of the most advanced CGI technology ever, The Jungle Book effortlessly transports viewers to the jungle, barely noticing the fact that young Neel Sethi is the only living creature in the entire movie.”
