This is my favorite Disney song. It might be my first encounter with jazz... I was between 4 and 6 years old. It's either this, or Tom and Jerry. I've loved jazz ever since. ❤️
Who else could be Louis except Louis Prima?I honestly thought he’d written the song at first since it fits his musical style and his wild stage persona. But I guess the characters a scene were fleshed out a bit after casting
Believe it or not, they were originally planning on getting Louis Armstrong for the role. Then someone realized that the NAACP would have a seizure if they cast a black guy as a monkey that wanted to be human.
I'm sure Satchmo would've done a phenomenal job as King Louie. I can just hear that deep gravely voice singing "I Wanna Be Like You." Nonetheless, I am still very happy with the Louis Prima version.
That's what I love about old Disney movies. There was actual magic behind it. Where it made you go, "Whoa, how did they do that!?" And even when you get a peak behind the current, you're still left amazed! Now everything is just soulless CGI. Even when it's unnecessary. Looking at you Spider-Man walking out of a Chinese restaurant. Could EASILY been done in costume.
He thought you were disrespecting him, but at the same time, you weren’t & was being straight forward about it it’s a role that has to be filled and the honor seen❤
See this was truly the golden era of film. So much effort and talent went into to each of these scenes and it was clear that everybody had such a pure passion and sense of joy while performing/ animating it
Jazz was perfect for this film. Jazz was something everyone on the planet could agree on. Everyone spoke it there was a rhythm that got to all of us and made us feel alive. JAZZ IS IMMORTAL.
I remember having to sing this in a school play as a kid. In my scene where I had to hand Mogli the banana(my brother played him) the banana split and fell on the ground. We had a little argument on stage because he kept saying “I’m not gonna eat that!” And I kept telling him to just do it. I don’t remember how the scene transitioned but the audience had a laugh. Good memories
This movie is one of the favorite of my Grandma, she have this movie on CD and this song was one of us favorite and she always singed to me when I was a kid and we seeing this movie together.. I missed my grandma (My grandma and I we are from Venezuela and now I am in New York.. I missed a lot)
I'll always have fond memories of this movie. This and Bear Necessities [Baloo and Baghera were my favorites] absolutely slapped and even during the budgeted era of animation,still looked absolutely fantastic.
We Americans have let our music die, it’s so sad! Jazz, soul, bluegrass, real rock and roll, it should still be celebrated. I hope soul makes a comeback especially
Thank you Maestro, for this and so much music that is the art of the soundtrack of my childhood and youth.. Really, thank you very much. We don't realize how many things made our lives happy.
I had the chance to listen to John Musker in a convention last year, and he was telling a story about filming Aladin, and how they had models come in to take pictures for references... Man I wish I could've been there in the old animation days, sounded like everyone had quite a bit of fun doing it.
He omitted the fact that Louie Armstrong was supposed to be King Louie, but they changed it to Louis Prima because they were afraid of the racist connotations. (For some reason Disney still includes the jungle book in their list of movies with disclaimers about prejudice)
@@thevanillafeziant The crow characters are in Dumbo - and they're absolutely caricatures. Jungle Book's birds were British Invasion vultures. The disclaimer could be because jazz is and was associated with African-Americans and therefore the inadvertent monkey comparison remained. That seems to be the general understanding in articles discussing it. Or it could be related to the British Raj setting or how the man-village was presented.
This! This is what makes the animated version of Jungle book and this specific song so special! In the live action version, it was dragged through the mud. It was unpleasant. 😶
And you wonder why These became instant classics, it’s because they were given life and a soul by real talent. The Disney we know today isn’t the Disney we grew up watching.
Thank you so much for this video! ❤ I grew up with this cartoon and singing and dancing this song the best I could in all different stages of my childhood and youth, you don't know what it meant for me! I will forever love this band ! Thank you gratefully to all who made it! ❤
There are several bangers from Disney, especially the _'Disney Renaissance'_ -era. But for me there are three on the top that shares the place.... _"I wan'na be like you"_ (Jungle book) _"Friend like me"_ (Alladin) _"Why should I worry?"_ (Oliver and Company)
What a wonderful animation to commemorate this moment in history! Props to the animators for framing this so beautifully! ❤ One of my favorite songs in animated media, as well. Straight from my childhood!
Big band and Swing, Jazz ,and the like seem to be harder to find.. Thank you for keeping the notes alive. We should all know where everyone got their start, their part, and their heart.
I can't believe Disney would change a timeless classic to appeal to modern audiences. That was never what they did from the very beginning of the company when they would cut out the most disturbing parts of fairytales and replace them with more wholesome stuff instead
Yeah modern audiences still love It lmao It's the grumpy dudes around the executive table that don't, they also don't like the 2d disneys very much at all!
The way that the penist's face looked when he turned to his audience saying the "Oh, oh, oh...." line is pretty funny. Idk why but just the way his face looks like there sorta looks out of place and in doing so looks like it is a funny looking expression that he's posing with lolz.
But it's still incredibly cool! Imagine being one of the people doing those adjustments, the first to visualise a new phenomenon and show the world a representation of an invisible majesty
Okay but can we talk about how good the animation is on this story of the animation 😂
Seriously. I love this.
The way the piano keys transition to Louie Prima's group was really good.
Oh yes the animated sections are amazing!
Yeah, it begs the question of why the Academy still doesn't respect animation as a medium
Absolutely stunning. Thanks for pointing it out, I was so taken by the story I forgot about the animation
i love anything where a situation is immediately resolved with humor -

🦧🐒🐵🙈🙉🙊🦍
there was no situation, they were just messing with him
He literally said they were kidding so nothing was resolved
Jesus is coming back repent and make your life to him
Thats a strangely gangster line for a kids movie backstory
It *was* in Vegas. Hotel/casino bands there got a reputation for being mobbed up, even Sinatra had rumors and gossip.
Ring-a-ding-ding, baby, we're the "Tops"
Actually, The Jungle Book is ANYTHING but a kid's movie. It's a FAMILY movie. Just because it's animation doesn't mean it's solely for kids.

This is also my favorite Disney song! Every time I hear it, I just go..."ape!" 😅
Disney doing Jazz just hits differently, theres just something about it, there so much energy and life
Same here
The "is you is, or is you ain't my babaeh" slapped. ❤ Tom & Jerry
So you were 5…

I mean, Jim Cummings does a pretty good job in Talespin and that Jungle Book sequel
I love behind the scenes stories like this. It's nice to hear the origins behind certain songs and movies.
ye
Love the animation of this, very cool👍
Prime sahara
@buditandi6322 The Sahara sounds like a dream, for an entertainer..
I love the animation of the story of the animation of the animated movie from Disney who make animation movies 😊
Back during the days when Disney still had magic and creativity
Back when people didn't decide if they liked something based on their politics
That's what I love about old Disney movies. There was actual magic behind it. Where it made you go, "Whoa, how did they do that!?" And even when you get a peak behind the current, you're still left amazed!

@@darkhobo you do know that there are movies they still make that are good regardless of politics, right?
@@attackonponyproductions4927I think that’s the point that was being made
@@braggestcloud6535 It's hard to tell, they could be lamenting politicization _or_ implying that the OP's cynicism is politicized…
This is what makes 2D animation so golden. The hearts and souls put into this type of work❤. A.I. CANNOT TAKE THIS TYPE OF BEAUTY AWAY FROM US!!
Yeah, but it can make the suits more money so it WILL
He thought you were disrespecting him, but at the same time, you weren’t & was being straight forward about it it’s a role that has to be filled and the honor seen❤
Nah, he was just messing
I love hearing things like this.
Everything is connected in life and people pick things from one another.
“Guys I want you to be as still as stones the entire time I need to make a joke about this song this guy from Disney wants us to perform for a movie”
TF2 pfp spotted ?1!:?2!
*sobbing happily in late stage tf2 brainrot from these pfp*
Louis Prima is one of the most important Italian American figures in musical history
His band's rendition of Che La Luna is still a favorite
See this was truly the golden era of film. So much effort and talent went into to each of these scenes and it was clear that everybody had such a pure passion and sense of joy while performing/ animating it
They had so much fun performing that piece and that joy comes out in the movie. Masterful work.
It’s stories like this that really bring these movies to life, the backstory is just as incredible as the film.
The Jungle Book was the first movie my father saw in a theater. Now it's one of my son's favorites. Great through generations!
It was also Walt Disney last movie he made before death
Ah yes, Prima as King Louie. What a tune, what a legend! Very well illustrated
Such a good song too, what a treat to know these fellas had a blast writing and performing it!
Jazz was perfect for this film. Jazz was something everyone on the planet could agree on. Everyone spoke it there was a rhythm that got to all of us and made us feel alive. JAZZ IS IMMORTAL.
To this day, this remains one of my favorite stories involving animation. Richard Sherman told this story with both passion and fun.😊
I remember having to sing this in a school play as a kid. In my scene where I had to hand Mogli the banana(my brother played him) the banana split and fell on the ground. We had a little argument on stage because he kept saying “I’m not gonna eat that!” And I kept telling him to just do it. I don’t remember how the scene transitioned but the audience had a laugh.

For what small meaning it may have, welcome to you and your grandmother. Welcome to the USA, My Fellow Americans!
Getting to learn about every detail of what it takes to make our favorite movies just makes you appreciate the final product that much more 😊
I'll always have fond memories of this movie. This and Bear Necessities [Baloo and Baghera were my favorites] absolutely slapped and even during the budgeted era of animation,still looked absolutely fantastic.
Whatever this animation is, whatever this documentary is, I want more of it. It looks fantastic.
Behind that animation lies the souls of people captured in fine art
RIP to the Legend himself, Richard Sherman
He's in heaven with Robert
We Americans have let our music die, it’s so sad! Jazz, soul, bluegrass, real rock and roll, it should still be celebrated. I hope soul makes a comeback especially
My son Johnathan favorite movie. He just loved Jungle book.
Remains one of my favourite songs! ❤
Passion and effort.
You don’t see that everyday, anytime, anymore!
i am 34 years old and i still sing this jingle here and then ^_^
I wish there were still cartoons animated like this.
Yeah 2d animation is the best
Spiderverse and Arcane are two good examples of hand drawn animation
They say in the Simpson’s commentary all the time that voice actors or the writers would act out a scene and the animators put it into the show
You dont know what hand DRAWN animation is huh? (hint, the two you listed arent hand drawn) @@declaringpond2276
Plenty of well animated shows with passion being put out. They are anime mostly though.
Absolute banger, I got it and many other versions in electro swing and more!
very fun story
Man, The Sherman’s were such incredible writers and musicians!
Louie Prima one of the best, I love "Enjoy Yourself- its later than you think" I remember the first time I heard it!
Thank you Maestro, for this and so much music that is the art of the soundtrack of my childhood and youth.. Really, thank you very much. We don't realize how many things made our lives happy.
Have a good trip, and again, I wish I were someone like you.
Nice to hear the origin stories of a legend 😁
And thats how one of the most iconic Disney songs was made
1 of the most memorable scenes in my childhood.
Ooh yeah Song never ever get old 😊
That is the Disney that we know and love.❤
Louis Prima and his band were SICK with it.
This is why animation is amazing
He was the perfect voice. Absolutely nailed it
Can we all agree that King Louie was KILLING it in that tux? Louis Prima was the perfect choice.
imo one of the best songs Disney ever made
That original movie was such a musical masterpiece. They really ruined it with the remake.
Legendary vibe check
I had the chance to listen to John Musker in a convention last year, and he was telling a story about filming Aladin, and how they had models come in to take pictures for references...

@@thevanillafeziantthat's not jungle book
Well they did have a monkey (ape) playing Black jazz.... So
Because of the girl that sing at the end
This! This is what makes the animated version of Jungle book and this specific song so special! In the live action version, it was dragged through the mud. It was unpleasant. 😶
That was so funny, I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard. 😄😄😄😄😄
And you wonder why These became instant classics, it’s because they were given life and a soul by real talent. The Disney we know today isn’t the Disney we grew up watching.
Thank you so much for this video! ❤ I grew up with this cartoon and singing and dancing this song the best I could in all different stages of my childhood and youth, you don't know what it meant for me! I will forever love this band ! Thank you gratefully to all who made it! ❤
One of my favorite movies from being a kid. Never knew it was Louie Prima until now. Cool!
It’s scary how often you can save an opportunity with a good enough joke
Phil Harris was my favorite Disney voice actor and singer, he was the other half of the duet in this song.
I love documentaries that have these animations, or visuals, to aide in immersing the watcher into what their listing to.
This song really fits the Bander-log’s manners and whole character personality referenced back to Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book.
My favorite Disney song.
I literally can’t stop watching this it’s so goofy
it's my favorite animation song ever!
Rip Richard Sherman, a blessing to the world and inspiration to millions of children
"looking for the right talent."
Remember when studios did that?
Orangutans are specially adapted to communicate over long distances using hoots and hollers, so they're well-suited for singing roles!
Man, does stuff like this still even happen nowadays? Without moments like these, you can't make the magic happen
There are several bangers from Disney, especially the _'Disney Renaissance'_ -era.
But for me there are three on the top that shares the place....
_"I wan'na be like you"_ (Jungle book)
_"Friend like me"_ (Alladin)
_"Why should I worry?"_ (Oliver and Company)
Brilliant. Artists caring about their work.
Goat Disney song, started watching them around A little mermaid. Like the animal based animated movies. Like jungle book, Robin Hood…
That song was always my favorite in that movie haha
This is Gold!
I laughed out loud love it
What a wonderful animation to commemorate this moment in history! Props to the animators for framing this so beautifully! ❤ One of my favorite songs in animated media, as well. Straight from my childhood!
Great anecdotal story
My favorite Disney song still to this day
A beautiful memory
I love that! Feels lukewarm something King Louie would say: “Are you trying to make a monkey out of me”?!
I love how stories about the most successful songs usually occur at ungodly hours of the night 😂
Always knew there was a reason that walking scene looked so memorizing. 😂 cause it was so smoothe for its time.
And “modern audiences” hate this classic, my grandkids love it tho
Big band and Swing, Jazz ,and the like seem to be harder to find.. Thank you for keeping the notes alive.
We should all know where everyone got their start, their part, and their heart.
Uh, no they don't, but keep thinking you're oppressed or whatever your little made up world tells you
I can't believe Disney would change a timeless classic to appeal to modern audiences. That was never what they did from the very beginning of the company when they would cut out the most disturbing parts of fairytales and replace them with more wholesome stuff instead
Yeah modern audiences still love It lmao It's the grumpy dudes around the executive table that don't, they also don't like the 2d disneys very much at all!

Reminder rotoscoping was a really common technique early Disney used to do and that what doubled the charm of the characters when moving
I wish that more animation history could itself be animated
loved the jungle book when I was a kid :)
My favorite song as a kid when they scat it’s the best part
But it's still incredibly cool! Imagine being one of the people doing those adjustments, the first to visualise a new phenomenon and show the world a representation of an invisible majesty
That's very cool.
One of my favorite songs... Scat, man... You dig?
Most iconic song 🎵
It my favorite scene!❤
I’m not a kid nor am I a fan of Disney movies really but I love this song
Bring back this kind of Disney.
“No you’re the ape, these guys are the monkeys” is a 10/10 response
That's too friggin cool
My great great uncle directed the jungle book and his son voiced mowgli
Along with The Rescuers and 101 Dalmatians, The Jungle Book are my top 3 Disney movies.
Sword in the Stone & Aristocats!
@samanthab1923 They're great movies too.
RW:Lol!😆 love that little story
