Some Thursday Randomness

Movies
The trailer for the live action Jungle Book has been out since last fall but I missed it somehow. The actors that voice the animals took some shots with their onscreen animals. Saw these on Alternative Disney on Facebook (here)

The Meeting 2015

The Spectators 2015

Book Stuff
Epic Reads (full list) posted a list of YA books featuring Jinn (in all forms). This is not a character that I've read a lot of but usually enjoy when they show up (even if it's to cause trouble for the main characters). I've only read one on the list (A Whole New World) and didn't care for it but that had more to do with the main characters rather than Genie.

I like the looks of The Jinni Wars by Amber Lough and The Secret of Ka by Christopher Pike.
