Disney releases first teaser trailer for ‘The Jungle Book’ — VIDEO

At this point, you probably fall into one of two camps: you love these Disney remakes, or you can't take anymore live-action adaptations of the the animated classics you grew up with.

Either way, "The Jungle Book" is Disney's latest toon-turned-motion picture with a star-studded cast, including names like: Ben Kingsley (Bagheera), Scarlet Johansson (Kaa), Bill Murray (Baloo) and Idris Elba (Shere Khan). 

With Jon Favreau (director of "Iron Man") at the helm, the House of Mouse is bringing Rudyard Kipling's timeless story about man-cub Mowgli to life.

Mowgli, an abandoned boy raised by a pack of wolves, grows up among the jungle dwellers, making friend and foe with all sorts of creatures. But when one greedy ape tries to uncover the secret of man's "red flower" (fire), Mowgli's journey takes a dramatic turn.

"The Jungle Book" hits theaters April 15, 2016. 

Check out the teaser above.
