Many many years during the filming of "The Jungle Bood" my father was the voice of one of the monkeys and my brother was bitten by a black diamond rattler snake. At the time, the doctors were not sure if my brother would live. Disney Productions sent life size carboard characters of the movie characters to my brother to cheer him. I thought was a wonderful jesture and I thought I would share the story with you. My brother is fine and when he was released from the hospital, he gave all characters to the children in the burn center.

WOW, how wonderful JoJo!!! Not that your brother was bitten of course, but that he was so kind and also, it must feel pretty neat to hear your dad talking it the movie. My daughter has this movie. I think I will watch it again, just to listen to your dad on it. NEAT!!!

P.S. Which monkey is he?

Thank you Sandalwood, Well you know when Big Louie (Louie Prima) is singing and there are a bunch of little monkeys running around? Louis Prima's Band members were the voices for them. It is hard to tell one from the other, but I remember one of dad's lines were something like "Look, over there, over there." I would have to watch the movie again to remember his other lines. If you can identify his voice given the line I gave you, you might recognize his voice in other lines.

No, Big Louie was played by Louis Prima, my father was his drummer and his voice was used for one of the little guys, I mean monkeys
