The more we see of Disney's new live-action Jungle Book, the more it's looking like a trip to the theater on April 15 will help you forget about your worries and your strife.

Disney dropped its second full-length trailer Sunday during the telecast of the Super Bowl, including a cool just-for-TV version in which the characters popped out over the black stripes of its letter-boxed format. (The version above is just, you know, normal).

The spot gives our first extended look at 12-year-old Neel Sethi, the newcomer who emerged from thousands of auditions to play Mowgli. Sethi didn't talk in the first trailer from back in September.

We also get longer listens to Bill Murray as Baloo the bear, Ben Kingsley as the friendly panther Bagheera and Christopher Walken as the duplicitous orangutan King Louie.
