Bill Murray is set to sing 'The Bare Necessities' in Disney's new Jingle Book adaptation.
The film will star Neel Sethi as Mowgli, the film's only live-action character, alongside performance capture animals voiced by Bill Murray, Idris Elba, Lupita N'yongo, Christopher Walken, Scarlett Johansson and Ben Kingsley.
Murray will play Baloo the bear, and although the film will not be a musical, Murray will sing the iconic 'Bare Necessities' as part of his performance. Jon Favreau posted a picture of Bill Murray in the recording studio on his Instagram account.
