Watching the marketing campaign for Jon Favreau‘s The Jungle Book has been nothing but pure nostalgic joy. As we’ve seen through D23 Expo, the trailers, and the special laser projection presentation, Favreau intends to honor the memory of those who grew up with the original and make it appealing to a new generation. Though the film will incorporate lore from the animated film, as well as make a few nods through the use the Sherman Brothers’ music and songs like “The Bare Necessities.”

The film is a few weeks away from release, and Disney has released a special photo shoot of Idris Elba, Scarlett Johansson, Lupita Nyong’o, Sir Ben Kingsley, Christopher Walken, and Giancarlo Esposito paired with their onscreen characters. Check out the images below.

Disney’s recent turn to modernize their animated classics by giving them a live-action adaptation has been a successful product thus far. With Maleficent and Cinderella already proving to be box office hits, the studio shows no signs of slowing down, by releasing more of these adaptations. Perhaps the most interesting of all the adaptations would be The Jungle Book. Now, it’s not interesting in a perplexing manner, but in how they approached the production of the film. The adaptation combines live-action and CGI to form a beautiful story, based on the animated film and Rudyard Kipling’s classic novel.

During the film’s presentation at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, CA, today, director Jon Favreau talked about the production of The Jungle Book, with his cast Ben Kingsley, who voices Bagheera; Lupita Nyong’O, who voices the protective mother wolf Raksha; and newcomer Neel Sethi, who plays the human lead Mowgli.
