King Louie

King Louie is a character in Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book. Once again he is an orangutan, and the "leader" of a group of monkeys that make their home in an abandoned human city. 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. Kaa appeared to serve him, being summoned with nine claps of his hands. Louie uses Kaa to ward off or even kill intruders, the latter for his own amusement.

At first, he acts a rival to Mowgli, but later warms up to him after seeing him defeat Kaa. Louie would later on appear during the battle between Mowgli and Captain William Boone (the villain of the film), as he is seen cheering for Mowgli. After Mowgli defeats Boone, Louie happily summons Kaa, who then kills Boone in the moat. In the credits for this film, he is listed as "King Louis".

Trivia[]

In the film, King Louie receives his name when Mowgli notices a portrait of King Louis XIV of France wearing the exact same crown King Louie wears in the movie.
