Disney's The Jungle Book has swung from a 1967 animated favorite to a sequel and a groundbreaking live-action remake. Here's how to watch Mowgli's adventures with Baloo and Bagheera in order.
The Jungle Book was the last film personally overseen by Walt Disney, and its 1967 release became a timeless classic full of unforgettable songs. Disney later added a sequel and a visually stunning live-action remake, giving fans multiple trips through the jungle with Mowgli and friends.
π Release Order
Release order shows how Disney returned to the jungle across the decades, from hand-drawn animation to photorealistic CGI.
- The Jungle Book (1967)
- The Jungle Book 2 (2003)
- The Jungle Book (2016)
Because the 2016 film is a standalone remake, story order simply pairs the animated original with its direct sequel.
π Story Chronology
The animated original comes first, with The Jungle Book 2 picking up shortly after as Mowgli adjusts to village life. The 2016 live-action version retells the original tale on its own timeline.
- The Jungle Book (1967) β Mowgli's journey to the man-village
- The Jungle Book 2 (2003) β Mowgli's pull back to the jungle
- The Jungle Book (2016) β a standalone live-action retelling
Which Order Should You Choose?
Begin with the 1967 original β it's the beloved classic that defines the franchise. Add The Jungle Book 2 for a bit more of Mowgli and Baloo, and watch the 2016 remake whenever you want a jaw-dropping, more dramatic version of the same story. Release order works perfectly for newcomers.
