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.
