It’s that most wonderful time of the day when an Honest Trailer pops up in the feed and this time, those clever Screen Junkies take on Jon Favreau’s live-action Jungle Book adaptation. Settle in for a case of the giggles as they drop jokes about Mowgli, a “parkour loving orphan MacGyver and Revenant-like adventure through the wilderness,” featuring a special cameo jab at Andy Serkis and his quest to star in every CGI film ever made. Honestly, it’s good.
