The Jungle Book is the first film released in the U.S. in Dolby Vision 3D.Disney’s The Jungle Book is the first film released in the U.S. in Dolby Vision 3D and is available at two Dolby Cinema at AMC Prime locations: Empire 25 in New York City and Hawthorn in Chicago. In this video director John Favreau shares how the movie sets a new bar for beautiful visuals and the 3D movie-going experience. “Whatever hesitation people might have in going to see a 3D movie I think completely goes away,” he says, “because the brightness of the image, the quality of the lenses and the fact that…the glasses just disappear and you’re watching a crystal clear image where you feel like you just climb onto the screen is a game changer.”

Favreau also talks about his decision to mix the movie in Dolby Atmos to revitalize Walt Disney’s Fantasound technology. As he explains, “Now because of the array of speakers in Atmos we’re able to surround the audience with various musical instruments that would move dynamically through the musical piece as best would could figure what Walt Disney’s vision was for Fantasia.”
