Shere Khan then convinces Banjo that the tragedy was Bnajo's own fault and advises him to leave the kingdom and never return.
Shere Khan refuses to help agheera, instead throwing him to his death.
Bagheera saves Banjo, but ends up hanging perilously from the gorge's edge. Shere Khan himself does not interfere to save Banjo, but instead informs Bagheera of Banjo's peril, knowing that the king will rush to save his son. Shere Khan sets a trap for his brother and nephew by luring Banjo into a gorge and having the wolves drive a large herd of wildebeest into a stampede that will trample him into the gorge. Though upset with Banjo, Bagheera forgives him and explains that the great kings of the past watch over them from the night sky, from which he will one day watch over Banjo.

However, in one of the Disney TV Shows, House of Mouse, there is a King Louie look-alike orangutan who is referred to as King "Larry", and is said to be Louie's identical twin brother. So after Disney settled out of court, they have since refrained from using King Louie in any of their projects to avoid further conflict with Gia and her attorneys. His absence was primarily due to Louis Prima's widow, Gia Maione (aka Gia Prima), filing suit at Disney for unauthorized usage of her late husband's voice and persona in previous Jungle Book projects, such as Jungle Cubs (Jim Cummings, who provided Louie's voice in these projects, had done a near perfect job impersonating Prima's voice). 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.
