KING LOUIE
Voiced by the charismatic Christopher Walken, King Louie is an enormous ape and ruler of the Bandar-log, a colony of wild and wily monkeys—but the colony is not his concern. King Louie is desperate to learn more about Man’s “red flower” and uses his smooth-talking ways to convince Mowgli to share his fire-making secrets.
