It's the bare necessities, the simple, bare necessities, that get us through our worry and our strife...

Come on, you know you just sang that in your head, if not out loud! I know I did while I typed it! 

Anyway, I have some exciting news! Disney's live-action movie, "The Jungle Book" is about to become available for fans of all ages! This classic tale was a childhood favorite of mine, and I always loved the story of Mowgli, Baloo, and all of the inhabitants of the jungle as they try to keep themselves safe from the evil, vengeful tiger, Shere Khan.

Now, we can enjoy one of our favorite animated films as a live-action movie! How cool is that?! We got a chance to see it for ourselves, and I have to admit, it was quite impressive. The graphics are absolutely amazing, and it was really neat seeing how they made all of the jungle animals come to life. King Louie, especially. Now that's one BIG monkey! Or is he an Orangutan? Hmm...

Anyway, we were on the edge of our seats while we watched this classic tale in a never seen before format. Adults and kids alike were blown away by how incredibly well done this film was, from the script to the talent, and of course, those special effects. 

Here's more about the film: 
Audiences were mesmerized by Disney’s live-action epic adventure “The Jungle Book,” which has earned more than $911 million at the global box office to date. Critically acclaimed, Jon Favreau’s stunning live-action reimagining of Walt Disney’s animated classic, will be available early on Digital HD and Disney Movies Anywhere on August 23, and on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and On-Demand on August 30.

Venture behind the scenes with in-depth bonus features that reveal the innovative filmmaking technology used to create the richly immersive jungle world and characters; Follow the journey of the film’s only on-screen actor, charismatic newcomer Neel Sethi (Mowgli); Delve into a candid and humorous scene-by-scene audio commentary with director Jon Favreau and meet the all-star voice cast who help bring the film’s colorful characters to life, as well as the musicians who accent the adventure with a majestic music score.

The all-star cast includes Bill Murray (“Lost in Translation”) as the voice of Baloo, Sir Ben Kingsley (“Learning to Drive,” “The Walk”) as Bagheera and Lupita Nyong’o (“12 Years a Slave,” “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”) as the voice of mother wolf Raksha. Scarlett Johansson (“Avengers: Age of Ultron”) gives life to Kaa, Giancarlo Esposito (“Breaking Bad”) provides the voice of alpha-male wolf Akela, Idris Elba (“Beast of No Nation”) roars as the voice of Shere Khan, and Christopher Walken (“The Deer Hunter”) lends his iconic voice to King Louie. ​

Directed by Jon Favreau (“Iron Man,” “Iron Man 2,” “Chef”) and produced by Favreau and Brigham Taylor (executive producer of “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales,” “Tomorrowland”), “The Jungle Book” is a live-action epic adventure based on Rudyard Kipling’s timeless stories, inspired by Disney’s classic 1967 animated film and centered on Mowgli (Neel Sethi), a man-cub who’s been raised by a family of wolves. But Mowgli finds he is no longer welcome in the jungle when fearsome tiger Shere Khan (voice of Idris Elba), who bears the scars of Man, promises to eliminate what he sees as a threat.

 
The film’s musical score, composed by Emmy® winner and Oscar-, BAFTA- and Annie Award-nominee John Debney (“Elf,” “Iron Man 2”), features a classic orchestral sound accented by ethnic instruments and pays homage to the original film by highlighting snippets of the classic songs we all know and love.
