Good for him. He deserves it, and it could be very good. Nice to see that they plan to be more true to the source material than the sappy Disney cartoon.
"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."
That is a very good news. I hope it becomes a succsss and removes Andy from the "mo-cap man" taboo.
I like quite a lot of Disney and Pixar films (especially the later) but Jungle book or Tarzan are not one of them. Lion King however, has aged so well.
