The Jungle Book is a 2016 American fantasy adventure film directed by Jon Favreau, written by Justin Marks, and produced by Walt Disney Pictures. Based on Rudyard Kipling's eponymous collective works, the film is a live-action/CGI reimagining of Walt Disney's 1967 animated film of the same name.[3][4] The film stars and introduces Neel Sethi as Mowgli and features the voices of Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba, Lupita Nyong'o, Scarlett Johansson, Giancarlo Esposito and Christopher Walken. The film will be released in North America in the Disney Digital 3D, RealD 3D and IMAX 3D formats on April 15, 2016.

Plot

Mowgli (Neel Sethi) is a man-cub raised by the Indian wolf couple Raksha (Lupita Nyong'o) and Akela (Giancarlo Esposito) ever since he was brought to them as a baby by Bagheera, the black panther (Ben Kingsley). Bagheera trains Mowgli to learn the ways of the wolves but Mowgli faces certain challenges and lags behind that of his lupine wolf sublings, and Bagheera admonishes him for using human tricks like tool building, instead of learning the ways of the pack. One particular year, during the dry season, all the animals in the jungle gather at the Water Truce to drink the last remaining waters while abiding the "Law of the Land" not to devour each other. When the fearsome scarred Bengal tiger Shere Khan (Idris Elba) scents Mowgli's presence and threatens his life since man isn't allowed in the jungle, a debate and argument arises among the wolf pack whether or not they should keep Mowgli. But before a general consensus is made, Mowgli voluntarily decides to leave the jungle for the betterment of himself and the others. Bagheera also volunteers to guide him to the human civilization.

However, en-route, Shere Khan ambushes them, injuring Bagheera while Mowgli manages to flee with the help of a herd of buffaloes. Mowgli, now alone, stumbles upon a thick, canopy forest where he meets Kaa (Scarlett Johansson), the sly and hypnotic Indian python, who tries to devour him by hypnotizing him but not before he is rescued by Baloo the bear (Bill Murray). In exchange for saving Mowgli's life, Baloo demands Mowgli to fetch him honey which is at the top of the cliff which Mowgli willingly agress. Together, they form a close bond and Mowgli decides to stay with Baloo until the winter season arrives.

Meanwhile, back in the jungle, Shere Khan – acting all oblivious – visits the wolf pack and kills Akela by throwing him off the cliff. He demands the boy be handed over to him, but Raksha reminds him that he has left the jungle. Confident that Mowgli will return again, he appoints himself the new leader of the pack since the alpha has been killed.

When Bagheera returns to fetch Mowgli, he finds out that Mowgli has decided to live with Baloo. With Bagheera's telling, Baloo unwillingly confronts Mowgli and lies to him that he never considered him as a friend so that Mowgli can change his mind about staying with him. But Mowgli is suddenly abducted by a group of monkeys who takes him to an old ancient ruined temple and presents him to King Louie (Christopher Walken), a Bornean orangutan-resembling Gigantopithecus who tries to coerce Mowgli into giving up the secret to the elusive and deadly "red flower". Bagheera and Baloo arrives just in time to distract the monkeys and manages to fight them off while Mowgli flees into hiding. King Louie chases him but is killed by the falling temple but not before informing Mowgli about Akela's demise.

Furious by the fact that Bagheera and Baloo kept muted and didn't inform him about Akela’s death, Mowgli decides to return back to the jungle to confront Shere Khan to avenge him and put an end to his tyranny. But first, Mowgli ventures into the village where the humans lived and for the first time he witnesses his own kind from afar and gazes at them in amazement. He steals one of the burning torch and heads back to the jungle but accudently starts a fire. Bagheera and Baloo follow him in close pursuit.

When the news broke that a man with the "red flower" was making its way into the jungle, all the animals gather at the Water Truce. Mowgly confronts Sheer Khan but throws away his torch into the water. Sheer Khan attacks Mowgly but Bagheera, Baloo and the wolf pack manages to fend him off and buying Mowgli enough time to set a trap in the burning jungle. He lures Khan into a tree with a fig branch and is able to pursuade him into stepping on it before breaking and falling to his death into a pit of fire. The elephants later helps to extinguish the fire.

A few years later, Raksha becomes the new alpha and leads the wolf pack and Mowgli now accepts that he is not a wolf but a man and decides to do things the "human way."

Development

Walt Disney Pictures announced that a live-action remake of The Jungle Book was in development on July 9, 2013, with Justin Marks set to write the script.[6] Jon Favreau was later confirmed as director on November 5, 2013.[7] Favreau was encouraged by Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn to take advantage of the film's setting and story as an opportunity to use the latest advancements in photorealistic rendering, computer-generated imagery and motion capture technologies.[8]

"The idea of going out to the jungle and shooting this, it just felt like it wouldn't have the magic that the 1967 film had had. There was a dreamlike quality to it. There was a surreal quality to it. It was a high-water mark for character animation and to me, that's what I remember about it. And so I wanted to make sure we preserved that...But what [Alan] Horn said was: look at the technology. Look at Life of Pi, Avatar. Why not use the technology to create a whole world that transports you? Let's really embrace this new technology and see what we can do if we push its limit."

— Jon Favreau on approaching the film's technical intents.[9]

The cast was announced between March and August 2014, with Idris Elba being announced to voice Shere Khan during early stages, and Bill Murray eventually confirmed as the voice of Baloo in August 2014. Between then, Scarlett Johansson, Ben Kingsley, and Christopher Walken were confirmed to play Kaa, Bagheera, and King Louie, respectively.[10][11][12][13] Favreau decided to cast Johansson to play Kaa, originally a male character, as he felt the original film was "a little too male-oriented".[14] Lupita Nyong'o was cast as Raksha as Favreau believed her voice imbued emotion required for the role, "Lupita has tremendous depth of emotion in her performance. There’s an emotional underpinning she brings, and a strength, and we wanted that for this surrogate mother. Much of that comes from her voice."[15] Favreau also decided to change King Louie from an orangutan to a Gigantopithecus due to the fact that orangutans are not native to India, where the story takes place.[4]

The search for casting Mowgli was extensive, with over thousands of kids auditioning from the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Canada. Eventually newcomer Neel Sethi was confirmed for the role with casting director Sarah Finn describing him as embodying "the heart, humor, and daring of the character. He’s warm and accessible, yet also has an intelligence well beyond his years and impressed us all with his ability to hold his own in any situation."[16]

Principal photography took place entirely in sound stages at L.A. Center Studios[17] in downtown Los Angeles.[15][18] The animal characters were created entirely in key frame computer animation, with the assistance of footage of real animal movement, the actors recording their lines, and performance capture for reference.[4] Favreau expressed desire to avoid overusing motion capture in order to prevent an uncanny valley effect.[14] Moving Picture Company (MPC) and Weta Digital created the film's visual effects.[8] Remote jungle locations in India were photographed and used as reference in post-production.[19]

Music

The musical score for The Jungle Book was composed by frequent Favreau collaborator John Debney.[20] Favreau decided not to make the film a musical, nevertheless, he and Debney incorporated several songs from the 1967 animated film.[21] "The Bare Necessities", originally written by Terry Gilkyson, will be included and sung by Murray and Sethi.[22] "Trust in Me" and "I Wan'na Be Like You", written by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman, will be performed by Johansson and Walken, respectively. Richard M. Sherman wrote new songs for the film, including new lyrics for Walken's version of "I Wan'na Be Like You".[23] Some of the lyrics to "Trust in Me" were spoken by Kaa in the film's teaser trailer.[24]

A soundtrack album is scheduled to be released on April 15, 2016 by Walt Disney Records.[25]

Release

On January 13, 2015, the film's release date was postponed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures from October 9, 2015 to April 15, 2016.[26] The film is scheduled to be released in the Dolby Vision format in Dolby Cinema in the United States.[27] The Jungle Book held its world premiere at the El Capitan Theatre on April 4, 2016.[28] It was released in India on April 8, a week before its United States release.[29]

Reception

Box office

In the United States and Canada, pre-release tracking suggests the film will open around $60–70 million, with female and older male quadrants being the prime draw.[30][31]

Internationally, it opened across 15 markets a week before its U.S. debut and faced competitions from newcomer The Huntsman: Winter's War and holdover Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice which was entering its third weekend of play. The reason behind this was because Disney wanted to get some space before the studio's own Captain America: Civil War releases in early May as well as avialing school holidays and avoiding local competitors.[32] It eventually grossed an estimated $28.9 million, debuting at first place in all markets and second overall at the international box office, behind Dawn of Justice which was playing across 67 markets.[32]

In India, it scored the second biggest opening day for a Hollywood film, earning $1.51 million (behind Avengers: Age of Ultron) from around 1,500 screens[33] and went on to score the second biggest Hollywood opening weekend of all time film with $7.6 million, behind only Furious 7 in terms of local currency. However, in terms of US dollars, it is the third biggest.[34] It performed better than expected than its initial $5–6 million opening projection.[33] Elsewhere, it opened with $6.2 million in Russia, $2.6 million in Australia, $2.2 million in Argentina and in Malysia, it scored the biggest opening weekend for a live-action Disney film with $2.1 million.[32] It will next open in key markets like China, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, Brazil and Mexico, as well as North America, next week. Korea will open on June 2 and Japan on August 11.[32]

Critical response

The Jungle Book received critical acclaim, with praise aimed at its visual effects, faithfulness to both the animated film and original Kipling works and the performances of the voice cast.[35] On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 100%, based on 19 reviews, with an average rating of 7.5/10.[36] On Metacritic the film has a score of 76 out of 100, based on 7 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[37]

Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Exceptionally beautiful to behold and bolstered by a stellar vocal cast, this umpteenth film rendition of Rudyard Kipling's tales of young Mowgli's adventures amongst the creatures of the Indian jungle proves entirely engaging, even if it's ultimately lacking in subtext and thematic heft."[38] Andrew Barker of Variety felt that this version "can't rival the woolly looseness of Disney's 1967 animated classic, of course, but it succeeds on its own so well that such comparisons are barely necessary."[39] Robbie Collin of The Telegraph gave the film four stars out of five and deemed it "a sincere and full-hearted adaptation that returns to Kipling for fresh inspiration."[40] Alonso Duralde of The Wrap also gave a warm reception, saying, "This 'Book' might lack the post-vaudeville razzamatazz of its predecessor, but director Jon Favreau and a team of effects wizards plunge us into one of the big screen's most engrossing artificial worlds since Avatar."[41]

The film also garnered positive reception from Indian contemporary critics and publications[42] such as The Times of India,[43] The Hindu,[44] India Today,[45] The Indian Express,[46] and The Economic Times.[47]

Its visual effects and 3D photography received acclaim, with comparisons being made to the likes of Avatar, Gravity, and Life of Pi.[35][41][48] Mike Ryan of Uproxx stated that "The Jungle Book is one of those handful of movies that belongs in 3D".[49] Sarah Ward of Screen International wrote that the level of detail on display in the film "is is likely to evoke the same jaw-dropping reaction as James Cameron's box office topper."[50] Idris Elba's performance in particular was also praised. Cath Clarke of Time Out compared his character of Shere Khan to Scar from The Lion King, calling him "baddie of the year".[51]
