Trivia
This film was originally slated to be released late 2016, but after information was released that Disney would be releasing a live-action remake of its animated film The Jungle Book, the release date was pushed back to 2018.

Goofs
Mowgli looks about 10 years old. His wolf brothers would be mature adults by this time, but are still depicted as youths, and the parent wolves and Akela are still alive when they would have died of old age.

Quotes
Akela: When you were a cub, I looked you in the eye and saw no fear. I believed that one day you would bring peace to the jungle. But you have become a man now.
Mowgli: I'm not a man! But neither am I a wolf.

Crazy credits
The Warner Bros logo is shaded tropical green and yellow (jungle colors).

It briefly appears through Kaa's scales, which fits with Kaa as the narrator of the film.

Totally loved it!

I had high hopes that this version of Mowgli would be something different than the Disney version. And after watching, all i can say is that the production team has done a terrific job!

Awesome storyline, awesome casting, awesome CGI and boy, Andy Serkis as the director, i must applaud! Loved Christian Bale, Benedict Cumberbatch and Cate Blanchett as Bagheera, Shere Khan and Kaa respectively. Rohan as Mowgli was very convincing. Just that i think I missed how the hunter came in the 1st place.

I'll watch it again absolutely.
