Disney's "The Jungle Book" has officially been remade as a live action feature for a new generation of fans. According to Entertainment Weekly, the film is a full-on remake of the original 1967 animated feature that fans grew up loving for its incredible picture and animation accompanied by it original songs and soundtrack.

The new feature was directed by "Iron Man's" Jon Favreau and takes on a modern approach. The film strays away from the classic Disney look and takes on the elements that are inherent to a James Cameron film, such as "Avatar."

As a matter of fact, Favreau took on the same technology that Cameron used to produce his 2009 hit that went on to become the highest grossing film of all time. This technology, which is high quality stop-motion, is the new industry standard and shows that they have come a long way since the days of "Gumby."

The movie itself may not be an exact frame-for-frame remake, but the story is still the same. It features Neel Sethi in the lead role as Mowgli. As a matter of fact, Sethi is the only human actor seen with the animals being completely CGI.

But the film does use the voice talents of seasoned Hollywood actors Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, Idris Elba, Ben Kingsley, Lupita Nyong'o and Christopher Walken.

The film is set to premiere in April of next year and is going to be the first out of the gate for the franchise for Disney. Warner Bros. will be following soon with their own installment for the story titled "Jungle Book: Origins" and will use stop-motion expert Andy Serkis accompanied by the voice talents of Cate Blanchett and Benedict Cumberbatch.
