- In August, Mr. Favreau
bounded onto a 7,800-seat arena at a Disney fan convention in Anaheim,
Calif., and showed sneak-peek footage from his film. He was joined by
three “Jungle Book” stars on stage, including Neel Sethi, who plays
the man-cub Mowgli. Thousands of movie posters were handed out.

- Disney used bloggers and entertainment news sites to hammer home a point: Mr. Favreau used sophisticated filmmaking techniques to create the animal characters.

- Commercials on ESPN portrayed the movie
as coming not from the studio that made “Cinderella” but “from the studio
that brought you ‘Pirates of the Caribbean.’” An extended 3-D trailer for
“The Jungle Book” was attached to “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which
had an audience that was 58 percent male. And Disney rolled out an action-oriented trailer during
the Super Bowl.
- If moviegoers believe that, they are more likely to
spend $3 to $5 more a ticket to see “The Jungle Book” in 3-D, which can
lift opening-weekend sales considerably. To emphasize the scope and scale
of this movie, Disney introduced a mazelike Law of the Jungle website in partnership with the
female-leaning Tumblr; ran special promos at
IMAX theaters focusing on the snake Kaa; and created a touring
virtual-reality experience and 360-degree Facebook video emphasizing the
“Avatar”-like world of its jungle.
- A New Year’s Day stunt on the Disney Channel, for
instance, was used to portray the film as one of the year’s first
blockbuster offerings for families and children. But the synergistic heavy
lifting was done by Disney theme parks. During the jam-packed spring break
weeks, park theatres in Florida and California offered sneak-peek footage
of the movie, with Mr. Favreau providing introductions.
