That extremely stretched metaphor is our way of introducing the fact that someone has decided to make a new animated version of The Jungle Book. Of course, Rudyard Kipling’s stories have been adapted several times. It’s just that Disney’s 1967 effort is still considered a classic and is still being watched years later.
