Origins

King Louie first appeared in Disney's 1967 film The Jungle Book, voiced by the late Louis Prima. As the king of the Bandar-log ape tribe, he sends his minions to abduct Mowgli. Because Mowgli is a "man-cub," Louie believes that Mowgli has the power to make fire, "man's red flower," which he intends to use to become a human. However, Mowgli has no such knowledge, so Louie attempts to goad the information until Baloo arrives with Bagheera to rescue Mowgli. A chase ensues, resulting in the destruction of Louie's empire.

Louie also appears in the film's 1994 and 2016 live-action remakes, as well as the Jungle Cubs and TaleSpin television series.
