Indulge In A Live-Action Adventure: Again and Again
Disney Classic Arrives on Blu-ray DVD August 30, 2016
I’d like to open this announcement with my deep awe of the mastery this movie has been made by Jon Favreau (“Iron Man,” “Iron Man 2,” “Chef”) under filming circumstances that will be now regarded as innovative and exceptionally creative.

Having had a chance to attend the World Red Carpet Premiere of The Jungle Book movie at the El Capitan in Hollywood, and follow up with multiple one-on-one interviews and conversations with the director himself and actors who voiced the animals in the movie –I am placing this experiential adventure of a little boy into our close-to-heart movie collection. It is a Classic to be loved and revered by today’s generation and by those who follow.
If you read a book by Rudyard Kipling as a child, you probably have your own imagery and picturesque presentations of your own mind of the scenes that Mowgli had to live through. Director Jon Favreau, with the help of a unique young talent of Neel Sethi, has created an environment rich in color, sound, and textural presentation.
Watching this movie in a theater is quite an unforgettable experience. Yet having a chance to play a Blu-ray version of the movie will definitely relate the richness of the world and story and feeling. The Jungle Book will be at the top of this year’s Holiday Season’s list of gifts to give.
Look at the cover presentation of the Blu-ray version of the movie! It has been done in the 3-D hologram colorful presentation. When you hold the case in your own hands – you know the magic is just a step away.
