You can see it in Zootopia too,вЂќ Favreau said. You had the Nine Old Men, and they were hitting the high water mark for emotional character animation that is drawn upon and you can see it even in The Lion King, you see reference to that animation style. вЂњThat was the high water mark in many ways for character animation. When it comes to the original Jungle Book, he knew exactly what he was trying to retain for his big screen reboot. ItвЂ™s very clear from talking with Favreau that he loves Disney animation and is well versed in the history of the company. The film sought to capture the spirit of the original Jungle BookвЂ™s animation. вЂњHere we take the same book, the same blue velvet background and we close the book as though to, I think, pay homage to and maybe feel like weвЂ™re completing that chapter.вЂќ How insanely cool is that?Д¤.

вЂњAt the end of the movie we found the book from the original Jungle Book in the archives, and so that book that opens at the beginning of Jungle Book, I noticed never closes at the end of Jungle Book,вЂќ Favreau explained. The book at the end of the movie is the actual, original Jungle Book.ДЇirst to let you know that this isnвЂ™t a spoiler (donвЂ™t worry): At the end of The Jungle Book, the physical Jungle Book book closes, which is a bookend (literally) to the original film in a really cool way. вЂњWe transition into the photo-real by the end of the shot, and then we borrowed that shot from Bambi,вЂќ Favreau said.ДЈ. It turns out that this was a moment borrowed from another Disney animated classic. The end of the opening logo is borrowed from Bambi.ДЄt the end of the castle logo shot, the camera pulls back and goes through the lush foliage of the jungle. вЂњAnd not only that but вЂLetвЂ™s make the kingdom behind the castle have elements from what the live action version would have been,вЂ™ so it was almost like a little taste of whatвЂ™s back there.вЂќДў. вЂњI got the idea, вЂLetвЂ™s do the opening logo, and instead of doing a super high-tech one, letвЂ™s have a hand-painted, cel-animated multi-plane logo,вЂ™вЂќ Favreau said. And so we were studying that very closely and became very fascinated with the multi-plane and what went into it and the artistry and ingenuity.вЂќ This aesthetic philosophy extended to the movieвЂ™s treatment of the main castle logo. Favreau went on: вЂњThere are tremendous shots in Pinocchio and Bambi where the multi-plane was a new technology and they were using it to show off, and that was the 3D of its day. Disney had a special version of the system developed, which was used first in a Silly Symphony called вЂњThe Old MillвЂќ and later in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

LetвЂ™s be as gimmicky as Walt would have been-but not more.вЂќ The multi-plane camera is a special camera used to create a sense of dimensional spaceвЂ“of a camera moving through a set, instead of one just taking photos of a series of still images. The 3D of the film, and the castle, were a tribute to the multi-plane camera system.ДЇavreau said that one of his вЂњrulesвЂќ for making The Jungle Book was вЂњletвЂ™s treat the 3D like multi-plane. (And we didnвЂ™t even get to talk about his Fantasia-inspired sound design!) HereвЂ™s what I learned:ДЎ. He really is a huge fan of Disney and walked me through all of the ways that Disney history played a part in the making of this truly incredible film. When I spoke to Jon Favreau about the film, he was about to leave for a special event at Disneyland and I couldnвЂ™t help but notice that his phone case featured the iconic wallpaper of the Haunted Mansion.
