    I watched this earlier. Bill Murray as Baloo...I'm so in

    The CG is ridiculous too

    Wow! Definitely wasn't expecting a live-action Disney Jungle Book

    But I'm impressed with the trailer - all this movie has to do is be entertaining and provide stunning visuals; the story is already great as it is

    I like Jon Favreau as a director of fun movies, and that is a pretty great cast, though I don't know if Idris Elba & Scarlett can act just through their voices

    This should be a good one!

    Scarlett did really good voice over work in Her.

    Hopefully they bring in more stuff from Kipling since everyone's going for more grit now.

    Could it be that they're using a motion capture/cgi for Mowgli now also? That'd maybe be unnecessarily expensive, but then we don't have to worry about kid actors emoting.

    Nobody can do better than Phil Harris as Baloo.

    Bad idea.

    That short musical montage near the end gave me a similar feel to the spectacular Where the Wild Things Are trailer.

    My buddy's son has the lead role in the movie as Mowgli, so it's been kind of cool to see some of the photos he's been posting on his IG. He got the role despite no previous acting experience.

    Why would Elba and Charlotte not be able to "act through their voices" ? they are A list professional actors

    Wow Disney you already made this movie twice, including one live action version. Why not try to be creative and rip another grimm fairy tale off.


    I wonder if they will use lemurs again like they did in tartan (animation) and their previous jungle book movie.
