The Jungle Book | On Digital HD & Disney Movies Anywhere Aug 23 and On Blu-ray Aug 30
Disney’s The Jungle Book is out in theaters NOW, which means the fantastic soundtrack is too!
The live-action tale follows Mowgli (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 (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 (Ben Kingsley), and the free-spirited bear Baloo (Bill Murray).
Along the way, Mowgli encounters jungle creatures who don’t exactly have his best interests at heart, including Kaa (Scarlett Johansson), a python whose seductive voice and gaze hypnotizes the man-cub, and the smooth-talking King Louie (Christopher Walken), who tries to coerce Mowgli into giving up the secret to the elusive and deadly red flower: fire.
Check out the full soundtrack below and more pics of Neel with director Jon Favreau on Lorraine in London, England on Thursday (April 14).
The 10-year-old actor stars in the live action tale as Mowgli, the man-cub who is raised by the jungle creatures including a wolf pack, black panther Bagherra, and sloth bear, Baloo.

“At first, I didn’t know the science behind everything and how it all worked, but now I do. There was a lot of makeup�that part took an hour and a half a day!” Neel explained in the issue.
He also opened up about being the only live actor in the movie, “It feels pretty cool. I know this doesn’t happen that often, but when it does people think it’s pretty cool. People say the animals are cool and ask if they’re real. They ask so many questions because they know there’s no one else in the movie they can ask!”
