Jon Favreau's live-action/CGI version of The Jungle Book showed that, visually and narratively, the Disney reboots truly worked. The movie retained the soul and essence of the 1967 animated film but gave it a glitzy twist with the addition of contemporary CGI effects. Neel Sethi was endearing and spectacular as Mowgli, while the supporting voice cast, which included Bill Murray as Baloo and Idris Elba as Shere Khan, brought their characters to a new, dynamic life. The environments of the jungle were meticulously crafted, and the film's balance of adventure and heart made it a standout reboot in Disney's live-action slate.
