The Jungle Book Should Be Talked About More

This week we are talking about Disney's first attempt at a Live Action remake of one of their animated films. A movie that's been completely lost to time - 1994's The Jungle Book starring Jason Scott Lee, Lena Headey, Cary Elwes, and Sam Neil.

Directed by Stephen Sommers, who would go on to do the first two films in The Mummy franchise, The Jungle Book is a movie that Disney truly wants all of us to forget about. It's not even available on Disney+.

In this video we'll take a look at:
How this movie started without Disney's involvement
The casting process
The writing process
The sheer number of animal actors found in the movie
Juan Ruiz Anchía's beautiful cinematography
Why Cary Elwes is so good at being a bad guy
The current trend of Disney Live Action Remakes
and the movies legacy 30 years later
