The Bandar Log are supporting antagonists from Disney's 2016 live-action/CGI remake film The Jungle Book.
Its' vocal effects were provided by Carole Jeghers (who also voiced Mrs. Parker in Cinar's Mona the Vampire).
Biography
When King Louie learned of Mowgli, a human living in the jungle, he saw the boy as a means to obtain man's "Red Flower", or fire, to grow more powerful. He tasked the Bandar Log with kidnapping Mowgli.
The monkeys find Mowgli on a tree, and kidnap the boy. The monkeys take Mowgli to King Louie, who attempts to bargain with the boy for the use of his fire. Louie sings the song "I Wanna Be Like You", with the monkeys watching. When Baloo and the panther Bagheera arrive to rescue Mowgli, the Bandar Log attacks them and tries to steal the boy back. The trio manages to overcome them and run away from the temple. However, the Bandar Log chases them. The chase ends when the temple ruins collapse, and Baloo and Bageerha escape with Mowgli.
They appear in a mid-credits scene where they succeed at liberating King Louie from the temple's stones.
Personality
They are a violent clan of monkeys that serve King Louie and under his thumb, they commit mischief all over the jungle. They all respond and are utterly loyal to Louie. This is shown as they stopped chasing Mowgli to help their chief buried under the destroyed temple. They serve as Louie's eye in the whole jungle, spying and reporting him what goes in it. They execute all orders he gives them, even if they are reprehensibles such as killing a young boy (Mowgli in the case). Contrary to him, they don't speak like Mowgli, rather emitting typical monkey's noises.
