I don’t know about y’all (yes, I’m in the south – we say y’all), but we are super excited about Disney’s new version of the Jungle Book swinging into theaters on April 15!
I loved the old version – I mean, who didn’t dance around singing ‘The Bare Necessities’? And who didn’t have thrilling chills when confronted with Kaa? Or laugh at Baloo’s antics?
The new version promises to be stunning. And here’s what: (sorry if I sound like I’m channeling Andy Cohen from Watch What Happens) – this would be a great movie to use as your central theme for an educational unit if you homeschool. Or teach in a classroom. The possibilities are endless! You could teach lessons on jungle animals and habitat, different cultures, ecology, even deforestation.
