            A kid friendly animated remake of King Kong

            This film has everything that kids could want...a fun musical score and enough action to hold their interest. In these days of even G rated films containing questionable scenes/language, its a relief to see something that is safe and fun.

            Gag: King Kong, the animated musical

            The only reason why this isn't a 1 is because of the voice cast, both Dudley Moore and Jodi Benson do play Kong and Anne very well. However, the animation quality is very uneven, the colours are nice and Anne looks lovely but some of the other character designs are wonky and the backgrounds especially after the Skull Island sequence, sequentially the film's best bit, are shoddy. The story meanders at this point too, with subplots that unravel faster than a ball of wool and a romance that feels contrived in alternative to poignant, and when it came to the characters Carl's part is very corny and the cabin boy was completely unnecessary. While most of the dialogue is embarrassing being quite hackneyed, the musical numbers are where the film really falls down. Not only are they not needed but they are very dull and insipid, with Carl's number faring worst mostly because the lyrics were so gut-wrenchingly awful. After seeing this, I have changed my mind which is the worst King Kong movie(initially the 1976 movie), this takes the cake. 2/10 Bethany Cox

            A (arguably) good remake.

            Genre: Cartoon remake, America, Scary island, Film stars. ? ? Actors: The one and only Dudley Moore :-) (C.B Denham) and Jodi Benson, (Anne).

            Main characters: C.B Denham, Anne and the mighty Kong.?

            What happens: Those of you who have watched the original of this (or another remake) will know the story (I didn't). An ambitious film director is making a motion picture – but he has one thing lacking… His star. Oh dear. Luckily, he finds a beautiful and feisty apple thief Anne and within eight hours she is on a cruise ship to their film setting! It turns out things don't go as planned though…

            My thoughts: I like this remake. Already the songs are going around in my head (pleasantly luckily) and also good bits of the film. I like the film itself, never having seen any Kong film or series beforehand. The characters, actors, story and action are enjoyable, pleasant and also exciting. One highlight of the film for me was Dudley Moore, whom I really like (even though I've only seen him in about one other thing). Jodi Benson, the same girl who gave us our little red-haired mermaid is here too as Anne! ? ? The songs are enjoyable, as I've told you before. Some people may not like them. For one thing there are quite a few and they are mainly aimed for the enjoyment of children (well – I guess this whole film was aimed for children REALLY). Some cautious parents may wish to fast forward some of the scary parts for young children. Some of the explosions, some of the dinosaurs and the screaming may be unpleasant for both adults and children. Also, some people might not like the sidekicks, a monkey and a boy. I myself thought they enhanced the entertainment and friendliness of the film, of course others may think otherwise. So all in all, not perfect, but I certainly enjoyed this film!

            Recommended to: People who would like a harmless remake, the BFK(big friendly kong), children and families who enjoy an average yet very pleasant children's film. Enjoy! :-)

            Good idea that did not quite work out

            THE MIGHTY KONG is one of those kid's musicals that had a lot of potential but did not make a big splash. I don't even know anyone with kids who bought this video for them and I don't know any kids who have even heard of it! I liked the musical numbers and I liked the period setting. My favorite scene is Ann Darrow's debut musical number in "Carl Denham's Electrifying Mystifying Wild Animal Follies".

            Carl Denham's character was nothing like the one in the original 1933 film, and his film crew was portrayed as being totally inept. What do kids learn from stuff like this? That documentary filmmakers are clumsy idiots? Why do filmmakers make themselves look bad in their own movies? I wish someone would answer this question for me.

            The little monkey mascot on board the ship heading to Skull Island was OK, but the cabin boy served no purpose and would not have been needed on a small steamer like the one being used. He was your typical "we gotta put a kid in this movie so that the kids can relate to it" character. Nonsense. Kids can enjoy movies that don't have other kids in them.

            Then, when the filmmakers actually make landfall on Skull Island, the plot really begins to unravel and many subplots are basically thrown away.

            Show your kid the original KING KONG made by RKO 70 years ago.

            One of the scariest monster stories of all time turned into sap.

            This is was not a good idea. To make a remake of a monster movie and make it kid friendly. The original King Kong is one of the scariest movie of all time. And this animated remake is sappy. It has a bunch of awful music numbers. See Son of Kong. That is good movie. If you have seen the original King Kong there is no point to seeing this movie. King Kong vs Godzilla is so such better then this movie. King Kong escapes is also a lot better. The 1976 remake of King Kong is also a lot better. This is a very scary movie. King Kong lives is a lot better. the Animated series of Kong from 2000-2006 is also a lot better. Kong King of Atlats is also a lot better. The King Kong remake from 2005 is very scary. That is also a lot better. Kong Skull island is also a lot better. This movie is just campy. I do not believe in the rating system. If I would a kid to know the story of King Kong. I would shown them any version except this one. It is so stupid. 5.1 is overrating this movie. I give this 4. Do not see it. See any live action version of King Kong do not see this.
