The new movie is based on Rudyard Kipling’s book “The Jungle Book” which Walt Disney turned into a full length animated movie in 1967. For those that somehow have missed the amazing Disney classic cartoon, the story follows the adventures of Mowgli, a small boy who is raised in the jungles of India by a family of wolves. The new live action version features realistic CGI animals and backgrounds with a real actor, Neel Sethi who plays Mowgli. An all-star cast featuring well know celebrities like Bill Murray(Baloo); Christopher Walken (King Louie); Scarlett Johansson (Kaa); Ben Kingsley (Bagheera) and Idris Elba (Shere Khan) lends their voices to the characters we all know and love in this new take on the Jungle Book. The Jungle Book officially opens in the US on April 15, 2016.
Michele also contributes theme park news for Fox 35 Orlando 11pm news and on the radio on WDBO.
