"Follow along on a young man's search for acceptance in this winning combination of The Lion King, a Ben Kingsley nature documentary, and a kid-friendly version of The Revenant."

Jon Favreau's live-action adaptation of the Disney classic The Jungle Book may have been one of this year's best films (as well as the best film starring talking animals), but that hasn't stopped the folks over Screen Junkies from poking fun at it in their latest Honest Trailer. Their video is a bit tame compared to some of their past offerings, but it's still plenty of fun, so check it out below:

The Jungle Book is an upcoming American live-action/CGI film directed by Jon Favreau, written by Justin Marks, and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. The film's executive producers are Molly Allen, Karen Gilchrist, Peter M. Tobyanse. Music will be written by John Debney.

The Jungle Book features:
Director: Jon Favreau
Neel Sethi as Mowgli
Emjay Anthony as Grey Brother
Bill Murray as Baloo
Ben Kingsley as Bagheera
Idris Elba as Shere Khan
Christopher Walken as King Louie
Scarlett Johansson as Kaa
Giancarlo Esposito as Akela
Lupita Nyong'o as Raksha
The Jungle Book hits theaters April 15

Awesome movie.

On a semi-related comment, Disney HAS to adapt Aladdin in live action.

Apparently, the Thor plot leaked. I didnt read it but my friend did and said that it sounds LEGIT.

Honest trailers may be what Screen Junkies are mostly known for, but they produce much better, more interesting programs on Screen Junkies Plus IMHO.

Movie fights can be great, depending on the guests. Does it Hold Up? and First and Worst are good.

Even the Honest Trailer Commentaries are more interesting than the Honest Trailers themselves. Just funny how the channels most well known product is maybe its least funny.

Honestly, this Jungle book had a much better ending that the animated version. Its the childhood wish fullfillment!
