Rudyard Kipling’s beloved Jungle Book fables got a memorable Disney treatment in 1967 with the animated film, which introduced Mowgli, Baloo, Bagheera, Ka, Shere Khan – and the unforgettable tunes by Louis Prima – to generations of families.

Listen as Favreau tells the HFPA’s Munawar Hosain what went into imagining the film.
