I’m sure you’ve heard by now. I’M GOING TO LOS ANGELES! I have been invited, along with 24 other bloggers, to attend the red carpet premiere of Disney’s The Jungle Book!!
Imagine Baloo and Bagheera looking so alive you can almost reach out and feel their fur! Shiver at the sharp menace of Shere Khan’s fangs and claws! Shudder at the sinister stealth of Kaa. The Jungle Book will be swinging into theaters April 15, 2016. It will definitely be an epic adventure coming to life in more ways than one!
When I think of “The Jungle Book”, I think of the 1967 animated release of “The Jungle Book”. I loved the story and the music and it has long been one of my favorites. So … when I received an email recently inviting me to join 24 other bloggers in Los Angeles for Walt Disney Studios’ release of The Jungle Book, I was ecstatic! I will get to walk the red carpet at THE JUNGLE BOOK premiere and interview Director Jon Favreau and Neel Sethi (Mowgli) and can’t wait to share it all with you when I get back! So I will soon be off to the LA JUNGLE and I’m already packing my “BARE NECESSITIES” for my first red carpet! Be sure to follow along April 3 through April 5 at #junglebookevent – you won’t want to miss anything!
During the event we will be interviewing Director Jon Favreau and Neel Sethi (“Mowgli”), Lupita Nyong’o (voice of “Raksha”), Sir Ben Kingsley (voice of “Bagheera”) and Giancarlo Esposito (voice of “Akela”)! I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am!
What would you like to know. Any questions for the stars? Let me know and I’ll add your questions to my list!
The story is the same, the technology is very very different! This version, directed by Jon Favreau has a great line-up of stars including Neel Sethi as Mowgli and includes the the voices of Bill Murray as Baloo, Ben Kingsley as Bagheera, Idris Elba as Shere Khan, Lupita Nyong’o as Raksha, Scarlett Johansson as Kaa, Giancarlo Esposito as Akela and Christopher Walken (I love Christopher Walken!) as King Louie. Just thinking about Christopher Walken as King Louie has me hysterical! I can’t wait to see this movie!

As part of my epic adventure, I will also get to join Disney XD for a special screening of the hilarious new hidden camera-practical joke series “Walk the Prank.“ Featuring live-action scripted comedy interspersed with fully produced unscripted pranks, the show follows an ensemble cast as they plan and execute hilarious over-the-top pranks for an online hidden camera show. We will get to view production for an upcoming episode and interview members of the “Walk the Prank” cast. “Walk the Prank” premieres 4/6 at 8:30 pm on Disney XD. #WalkThePrank
