Disney has released new clips from its upcoming live action version of The Jungle Book.
Two clips were released on Disney's Facebook page on March 24 and two days later on March 26. One showed the introduction of the character Shere Khan, voiced by Idris Elba. The other clip showed a comical dispute among Mowgli, Bagheera the panther, voiced by Ben Kingsley and Baloo the bear, voiced by Bill Murray.

The Jungle Book is set to be released on April 15 in the U.S. These new clips were released just after Disney released promotional photographs of the voice actors next to the animals they were portraying, which we reported on last week. As we also previously reported, Priyanka Chopra will be voicing Kaa in the Hindi version of the film set to be released on April 8.
