Hey! Let’s remake King Kong! Only this time we’ll aim it completely towards kids, taking out all of the intense stuff so the movie will get a “G” rating! Since we don’t have much money, we will have it animated as close to Saturday morning style as we can! Plus, we’ll add songs and make it a musical! And we’ll call it The Mighty Kong!
Oh, how the mighty have fallen – and I’m not talking about what happens to Kong in the climax.

Oh, man. I rented that once for the kids, back in the prehistory of VHS. Deeeeep hurting.

Kong survives the fall? Does he still get shot down by airplanes or did they sing him off the building?

“But Kong doesn’t show life here or anywhere else in the movie.” – well, why should he be uniquely privileged?
New guideline, perhaps – if you can’t afford even the cheap Korean tweening houses, your animation needs more budget…

Nathan, I love your avatar, I want to give it a big gummy/eraser/whatever the hell it is kiss!
Yeah, this sounds like a bunch of non-artists deciding to make a quick buck off a well known story and thinking the well-known-ness of it would subsitute for actual characters, action, and plot points. Lazy, lazy, lazy.

Regardless of how this came out, I can’t be the only B-disciple who thinks that an animated musical Kong is an awesome idea?
Anyone?
Anyone at all?

Maybe as an expansion of the stage pantomime that begins the Kong show at the end of the Peter Jackson version.
