The Jungle Book CGI Effects

CGI effects are a major part in the film’s production. Are any of them real?

Dear Sara –

I just saw Disney’s new version of THE JUNGLE BOOK. It looks amazing. Which animals were real, and which were? And where was it filmed?

Kind regards,

Ella C.

Dear Ella –

The entirety of the new JUNGLE BOOK was shot at a special effects studio in downtown Los Angeles. While many, many hours were spent studying and photographing real wild animals to replicate their looks and their movements, the only non-CGI actor in the film is young Neel Sethi, who plays Mowgli.

The name's Sara Bellum, and I'm the editor-at-large here at BuzzyMag - the hostess with the mostess, if you will. I like to think that my first calling is fighting crime and delivering a heaping dose of sweet, sweet justice to all manner of thugs, miscreants, hoodlums, ruffians, and ne'er-do-wells, but unfortunately, violent vigilantism doesn't exactly pay big bucks these days.

Times are tough, my friends, and I've got bills to pay, so I decided to put my encyclopedic knowledge of all things sci-fi & fantasy-related to use to help me land a day job. To tell you the truth, it's kind of a nice change of pace. My manicures have been lasting a bit longer lately.
