The 1967 film The Jungle Book was directed by Wolfgang Reitherman and featured the voice talents of George Sanders Sterling Holloway Louis Prima and Phil Harris. The film was based on the Rudyard Kipling stories of the same name and follows the story of Mowgli a young boy who is raised by wolves in the jungle. One of the most memorable characters from the film is the giant monkey King Louie who Mowgli encounters during his time in the jungle.
King Louie is voiced by American actor Louis Prima in the film. Prima was a popular singer and bandleader in the 1930s and 1940s and was known for his energetic stage performances. He won a Grammy Award in 1966 for his work on the soundtrack of the film The Jungle Book.
King Louie is a large anthropomorphic monkey who is ruler of the apes in the jungle. He is fascinated by Mowgli and wants to know how humans are able to make fire. When Mowgli refuses to tell him King Louie kidnapped him and holds him captive in his temple.
Ultimately Mowgli is rescued by his friends Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther and King Louie is left empty-handed. He makes one final attempt to get Mowgli to tell him the secret of fire but is unsuccessful and is last seen vowing to get revenge on Mowgli.
King Louie is a fun-loving and playful character but also has a dark side. He is a reminder that not everything in the jungle is as it seems.
