The Legend Comes to Life
Disney’s Groundbreaking, Live-Action Adventure
arrives on Digital HD August 23 and on Blu-ray™ August 30
Audiences were mesmerized by Disney’s live-action epic adventure “The Jungle Book,” which has earned more than $935 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.
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 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.
Our Thoughts
I am a classic Disney fan…A huge fan actually. I grew up on Disney movies and I love all the classics. Usually I really don’t love when old movies are remade but I’ve been really impressed with the way Disney has remade their classics into live action. The Jungle Book is no exception. This movie was extremely well done and I love the all star voice cast. I was a little nervous about letting my littles watch it so we watched it first. It was fine for my Monster who is almost six. He LOVED it! My husband is a huge fan of the original and he loved this as well! It’s a great addition to your Disney movie collection.
We are giving away FIVE digital copies of the new Jungle Book. Enter below and don’t forget to share with your fellow Disney loving friends!

We seen this one in the theatre and I thought it was kinda cool to see all of the animals and people look so real. I really enjoyed watching it on the big screen and would love to bring it home. This is a great giveaway and I hope you get a lot of entries! Thanks for hosting!
So far this summer, taking my kids to the beach for a few days.
Going to Los Angeles for the Bad Moms premiere!
This is one of my son’s favourite stories…it used to be a favourite of mine too when I was growing up! My father took me to see the film..and will be taking his grandson too 😉
I cannot wait to see this movie! We missed seeing it at the theater!
I’m usually not a fan of remaking the old classic movies that I grew up with and loved, but I have to say that I’m pretty excited about the new Jungle Book. I’ve heard some really great reviews about it. We weren’t able to make it to the theater to watch it (hello, crazy summer!), but hope to have family movie night when it comes out.
I just can’t believe how many celebrities were in this movie. They are all top notch stars. I can’t wait to watch this movie with my family. The cartoon was one of my favorites when I was younger, and I am glad I can share this with my own child!
My favorite summer memory was with my 14-year-old cousin. We both went to see the Youtuber Shane Dawson and it absolutely made our lives. Shane was so kind; he actually hugged my cousin and I and repeatedly told us “thank you so much for coming”. We got a picture with him and everything! It was seriously the best day ever.
Going to the lake with my family. Camping, hiking, fishing, etc.
My favorite summer memory was seeing my youngest go from fright to pure enjoyment swimming at the creek.
I can’t wait for this movie to come out. It was so enjoyable in the theater.
Our first summer hike to cecret lake in little cottonwood canyon

Can’t wait to watch this movie again!
I haven’t been able to see this movie yet, and I’ve been wanting to so bad! My favorite summer memory was when we had a family Pinewood Derby. It was so awesome. 🙂
When went on a family vacation! Thank you for the giveaway! 🙂 \
The Jungle Book was such a good movie. The kids and I really enjoyed it – lots of great special effects. I can’t wait to get the movie on DVD so we can all sit down and watch it again for one of our weekly movie nights.
