The first trailer for Disney's next foray into live-action reboots is out.

This time Mowgli, Kaa and Baloo aren't traditionally animated. Either live actors play them, as is the case of Mowgli, who is portrayed by Neel Sethi, or are computer-generated like Baloo, who is voiced by Bill Murray or King Louie, voiced by Christopher Walken.

The new trailer also features a voice-over by Scarlett Johansson as Kaa, the python that tries to eat Mowgli.

Take a look at the trailer here:

"The Jungle Book" is directed by Jon Favreau, Entertainment Weekly reported. While it is not a musical like the original cartoon, Favreau said he will try to work in some moments including Murray singing "The Bare Necessities."

Disney released its live-action version of "Cinderella" on DVD and Blu-ray Tuesday.

The studio announced Monday that it is working on a sequel to the much-beloved "Mary Poppins," CNN reported.
