This looks seriously intriguing. It'd be interesting to see a darker take on 'The Jungle Book'.

I'm guessing we won't hear much singing from Baloo.

I really don't get why they made this since just two years ago they made the "Jungle Book" in the same "realistic" way.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

It isn't so much the realism as the tone of the film.
