The Bandar-log appear in Disney's The Jungle Book. In the animated franchise of this movie, they are portrayed as having toupee-like hairstyles and prehensile tails, the latter being a feature which is non-existent in Old World monkeys. It is stated repeatedly in the Kipling story that the Bandar-log "have no king;" however, the Disney film version gave them one: King Louie. He is an orangutan, but in reality, orangutans are not found in India. The Bandar-log capture Mowgli and take him to Louie. They participate in the "I Wan'na Be Like You" musical number, during which Baloo and Bagheera attempt to free Mowgli from Louie. They reappear in The Jungle Book 2, this time without their leader Louie. They are just seen dancing with Baloo, Mowgli, and other animals
