Kong: King of the Apes

Kong of the Apes is a good fun kids Netflix original show. It follows the adventures of a futuristic King Kong as he and his friends protect the people and nature from a jealous super villain cyborg and his robotic dinosaur army.

The show is predictable,as are most kid shows when viewed by adults.It teaches kids that the natural world must be protected and is easy for them to understand. The humor is harmless classic kids stuff. Adults may or may not be amused depending on their humor type.

By far the coolest feature of this show is the unlocking system. Each episode you watch unlocks items and "battle" episodes which encourages kids to watch the WHOLE show if they want the extra content.So it feels like a game.

I recommend this to as a parent to parents who believe teaching their kids to protect the natural environment, and like a little Sci-fi fun with dinosaurs!

This show looked and sounded like it was created by a couple of 10- year-olds who got their hands on some animation software. The dialogue was trite and clichéd and the plot about as predictable as you could possibly imagine. Add to that the patently obvious and preachy "we must save the environment" message and you have one of the worst animated shows I've ever seen. (And mind you, I'm an environmentalist-- but the heavy-handedness of the messaging was gag-inducing.)

I watched this show with my kids because I'm a big fan of Kong in its previous incarnations, but this one was a waste of time. And my kids' complete lack of reaction throughout the entire hour and ten minutes of the premier episode tells me that they agree.

So many people want classic or iconic characters to look the same and for the story line to never change. I understand that but as storytellers, we all want to try new directions and expand our imagination. This take on King Kong achieves that goal and is fun and set in 2050 which allows for the future to meet the past. It is a fun movie and the reception worldwide has been awesome. Season 2 is already in production. With Tarzan and Jane launching today on Netflix, how great would it be to see a Tarzan Vs. Kong series next? Would love that! After all, Tarzan is a human raised by a gorilla while Kong is a gorilla raised by humans. It has never been done and could be a lot of fun.

I'm a full grown man and I must say I love this show. It's so sweet, and it is a bit allegorical to what is happening to animals in general now days. The show actually educates a little bit on this, and the vision of the show is the importance of animal conservation. The main character in the show, especially the antagonist, are a bit of stock but it is still a great show. It is also more interactive than other shows with short bonus videos with different endings related to the episodes at the end each one.

With all the good animation coming out these days it's shocking to come across such a lame effort. So many other good options available don't waste a minute on this one.
