To contrast, Disney’s 2016 The Jungle Book was rated PG for sequences of scary action and peril.
Disney’s The Jungle Book had some fights between the various animals, but it sounds like the action violence will be much more graphic and frightening this time around with actual blood being shown.
Beyond just being a more violent Jungle Book, Mowgli is shaping up to be a thematically darker one as well.
The thematic elements portion of the MPAA’s rating, as reported by Box Office Mojo, is also interesting.
