The VFX Magic of The Jungle Book Revealed in New Video

One of the most amazing things about the recent smash hit movie of The Jungle Book was the fact that the entire thing was shot in a studio in Los Angeles. Young star Neel Sethi was filmed in front of blue screens, before being placed into a dazzlingly realised CG environment. A new video reveals some of the effects trickery that went into creating the film--check it out below:

The Jungle Book has to date made more than $563 million at the global box office in less than two weeks. This includes $202.3 million in the US alone.

Earlier this week, Disney announced release slots for a further five live action fairy tale movies. Although titles are yet to be revealed, these are expected to include a Mary Poppins sequel, starring Emily Blunt, the 101 Dalmatians prequel Cruella, plus sequels to The Jungle Book and 2014's Maleficent.

These projects are in addition to a number of fairy tale films that are awaiting release, such as Alice Through the Looking Glass next month, Pete’s Dragon in August, and the Emma Watson-starring Beauty and the Beast in March 2017.
