King Louie did not appear in The Jungle Book 2 (though a shadow puppet of him can be seen at the beginning). His name arises in this version from the vast wealth that humans left behind in the city, and in particular to his habit of wearing a crown similar in appearance to that worn by the King of France, Louis XIV. Once again he is an orangutan, and the 'leader' of a group of monkeys that make their home in an abandoned human city. He sings the song " I Wanna Be Like You" after he kidnaps Mowgli, and asks the boy to show him the secret of "red flower" so he can be human.Ī slightly different King Louie character appeared in the Disney 1994 live-action Jungle Book movie starring Jason Scott Lee. King Louie appears to be natural, but he just wants to be human he is the classic misunderstood villain.
