10 Huge Implications Of The Jungle Book's Box Office Success

4. Fewer & Fewer Real Animals In Hollywood

No real animals were used in the making of The Jungle Book: Disney forbade it.

Every single animal you see on-screen was rendered with computers. And yet it doesn't detract from the final product in any way at all; they look real.

The fact that it's now possible for a movie to be made - one that features hundreds of animals as its focal point, no less - without the use of real creatures means that Hollywood are sure to begin phasing the practice of using live animals out entirely. Sure, they'll probably always use cats and dogs, but there is clearly no need to bring in exotic animals because the ones made using computers are so convincing.

PETA will be pleased.
