- Around 2001, Louis Prima's widow sued the Walt Disney Company over the unauthorized use of her late husband's voice and public personal in past Jungle Book spin-off projects, as Jim Cummings' imitations of Prima featured in them were near perfect. In later years, Disney would continue to use Louie in theme parks and other promotional material but refrained from having him speak to avoid trouble with Mrs. Prima, though he did still speak in Animagique and a few Tokyo Disneyland shows at that time.
- However, by 2010, these files were apparently lifted, allowing Disney to once again have full use of the character, as evidenced by 2012's debut of the live show Wishes, aboard the Disney Fantasy cruise ship, marking Louie's first speaking role (with newly recorded dialogue) since Disney's Dreams On Parade: Moving On! at Tokyo Disneyland.
