The live action movie, has all of the characters you loved from the classic cartoon. From the clip I have seen the animals are so realistic and the voices fit so very well. This movie hits theaters on April 15th! I know I will be celebrating the end of tax season by taking the family to see this spectacular Disney soon to be classic.

“Intro to Shere
Khan” clip
Directed by Jon
Favreau (“Iron Man”), based on Rudyard Kipling’s timeless stories and inspired
by Disney’s classic animated film, “The Jungle Book” is an all-new live-action
epic adventure about Mowgli (newcomer 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. Urged to abandon the only
home he’s ever known, Mowgli embarks on a captivating journey of self-discovery,
guided by panther-turned-stern mentor Bagheera (voice of Ben Kingsley), and the
free-spirited bear Baloo (voice of Bill Murray).
Along the way, Mowgli
encounters jungle creatures who don’t exactly have his best interests at heart,
including Kaa (voice of Scarlett Johansson), a python whose seductive voice and
gaze hypnotizes the man-cub, and the smooth-talking King Louie (voice of
Christopher Walken), who tries to coerce Mowgli into giving up the secret to
the elusive and deadly red flower: fire. The all-star cast also includes
Lupita Nyong'o as the voice of the fiercely protective mother wolf Raksha, and
Giancarlo Esposito as the voice of wolf pack’s alpha male Akela. “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. The wild adventure swings into
theaters in 3D on April 15, 2016. There are some new images that are amazing, the images feature the cast of Disney’s The Jungle Book. Featuring Idris Elba, Scarlett Johansson, Lupita Nyong’o, Sir Ben Kingsley, Christopher Walken and Giancarlo Esposito, each image pairs the actor with their onscreen character, as well as quotes from the actors. Check out these cool photos and character quotes below.
Kaa is a massive
python who uses her voice and hypnotic gaze to entrance Mowgli. The man-cub
can't resist her captivating embrace. "Kaa seduces and entraps Mowgli with
her storytelling," says Scarlett Johansson. "She's the
mirror into Mowgli's past. The way she moves is very alluring, almost
coquettish."
Voiced by Idris
Elba, Shere Khan bears the scars of man, which fuel his hatred of humans.
Convinced that Mowgli poses a threat, the bengal tiger is determined to rid the
jungle of the man-cub. "Shere Khan reigns with fear," says Elba.
"He terrorizes everyone he encounters because he comes from a place of fear."
Sir Ben Kingsley /
Bagheera
Bagheera is a
sleek panther who feels it's his duty to help the man-cub depart with dignity
when it's time for him to leave his jungle home. "Bagheera is Mowgli’s
adoptive parent," says Ben Kingsley, who lends his voice to Bagheera.
"His role in Mowgli’s life is to educate, to protect and to guide. My
Bagheera was military–he’s probably a colonel. He is instantly recognizable by
the way he talks, how he acts and what his ethical code is.”
Lupita Nyong'o
voices Raksha, a mother wolf who cares deeply for all of her pups–including
man-cub Mowgli, whom she adopts as one of her own when he's abandoned in the
jungle as an infant. "She is the protector, the eternal
mother," says Nyong'o. "The word Raksha actually means protection in
Hindi. I felt really connected to that, wanting to protect a son that isn’t
originally hers but one she’s taken for her own."
Christopher Walken
/ King Louie
King Louie is a
formidable ape who desperately wants the secret of Man's deadly "red
flower”–fire. He's convinced Mowgli has the information he
seeks. "King Louie is huge–12 feet tall," says Christopher
Walken, who voices the character. "But he's as charming as he is
intimidating when he wants to be.”
Akela is the
strong and hardened alpha-male wolf who shoulders the responsibility of his
pack. He welcomes Mowgli to the family, but worries he may one day compromise
their safety. "Akela is a fierce patriarch of the wolf pack," says
Giancarlo Esposito, who voices the character. "He believes the strength of
the pack lies in what each and every wolf offers. He's a great leader, a wise
teacher."

I think it may be a bit intense for younger kids but tweens and above would enjoy it
I think this version looks fantastic. This was always a favorite movie of mine since I was young and I would want to see this.
