2025 Collection. Limited edition of 967 pieces worldwide. 15cm each, mohair, both jointed, with embroidered eyes.
The Jungle Book was the final animated film to be produced by Walt Disney himself, in 1967. Walt Disney sought to make his version of The Jungle Book a lot more upbeat than the Rudyard Kipling-penned original. The songwriters wanted a jazz sound, with a Dixieland-like melody. When the idea for “I Wanna Be Like You” was first thought up they married this with the image of an ape who swings from a tree and he’s the king of the apes. Thus the famous scene was born. Steiff have triumphed with King Louie and Baloo capturing this iconic performance.
Surface washable with care. Box included. This is a collectors' item and not suitable for children under 14 years of age.
