It may interest readers of these reviews that the voice actor who played King Louie is not in fact black. If you follow this helpful link right here at imdb ( ), you'd find that Louis Prima is in fact white, and was quite well known at the time for his musical repertoire, of which the song 'I Wanna Be Like You' is a prime example.
I don't think he was chosen for that role because of how 'black' he sounded, but rather for his musical abilities, and how that fit into the character of King Louie. As with all the other voice actors chosen for this film, Walt Disney made perfect choices. So much so that the film works perfectly: animation, voices and story all mesh together perfectly to make one of his best films, precisely because it.is. so simple, yet effective. No need for fancy computer graphics here.
