I remember the trailer to mighty Joe young and owning it on VHS, I just never remember the ending because I always cried my eyes out after the fairest wheel incident.
This was one of those rare instances when the remake was AWESOME.
Also, loved your commentary RE CGI at the end...counld NOT agree more, my man.
I seriously just watched this last night, and now I find out that Bill Paxton died today :(
the remake of this movie is one of my favorite childhood films. I had no idea there was an older one out there. though if you ask me, the Disney version is an improvement.
Saw this as a kid in theaters but remembered nothing about it. Thank you for another informative review with an inimitable and unique style.
Only thing I remember is that I threw up my lunch on the ride home. Nothing to do with the movie; I just got a stomach bug.
RIP Bill Paxton. And I remember liking this movie as a kid
I remember watching Mighty Joe Young when I was a kid. I never knew it was a remake, probably because I never knew what the internet was. It was an amazing movie to watch and it still remains one of my childhood favorites.
I love the remake.. Was one my favorite childhood movies and still is
Same here dude.
I love me some Bill Motherfucking Paxton. I remember watching this movie a lot with my family (the remake) so it has a lot of nostalgia for me. Lot of good memories..thank you for not destroying it.
You've quickly become one of my favorite RUclips movie critics... fuckin hilarious. I've pretty much binged all of boots to reboots. Great stuff.
Thank you!
Andy legit deserves so many more subs and likes on his videos. Please keep doing what you do man, love your content.
i didnt know this movie was a remake
I would watch this with my grandmother. I would always laugh my ass off when Joe is running away from Greg and thought he lost them until they come over the hill. His face and the sound he makes its priceless: :O
R.I.P Bill Paxton
Land Before Time? Uh, that ain't a Disney movie lol
Common mistake. People don't really separate any of the dozen animated films that Don Bluth created from Disney. It's pretty much just all Disney Disney Disney. Even Pixar movies are called Disney movies. People just see animated movies and say Disney and these days with the Disney company taking over literally everything in the world, it basically is Disney everything.
Rest in Peace Diane Fossey
WOW! I remember seeing this when I was 7 Totally forgot this movie
Watching this in 2021 and I must say you sir have come along way in your videos!
Your rant on cgi was perfect, you can never go wrong with practical effects.
the ferris wheel scene had me crying
"Don't fix what isn't broken". A lesson that Disney refuses to learn with all the unnecessary remakes they keep making.
Many years ago (1982) I had a live blues compilation record from Alligator Records that included an artist called Mighty Joe Young. I guess named for the original movie
Fun fact Harry harharesan was king Kong fan
Thank you for explaining why animatronics and puppetry will always be better than CGI. I’ve been saying this for years, and no one listens to me.
Practical effects will always look better than cgi because they're actually there, however cgi allows a range of motion practical effects don't. They should be used together.
I completely forgot about this movie. Lived it as a kid.
At 9:38 I lose my shit! 😂😂😂
"King Kong w/a happy ending"
R.I.P. poor Asian lady.
"I wanna bone you in a cage and make Joe WATCH!" I always loved the promo for the remake on my 'Lion King II: Simba's Pride' VHS:):) The one girl seeing Joe and going "That was SO cool!"
The land before time is not a Disney movie and Who Framed Roger Rabbit only falls under the Disney Corp. Unbrella recently. It was not released as one. Minor nitpick I know but goddam! I AM THAT GUY
I cried when Joe die
He never died
I cried when Harambe died.
Does anyone think that Andy and his do reviewers should've tackled the King Kong remake as well as this movie. Since the original Mighty Joe Young was seen as of the first ripoffs in Hollywood history, but yet the 30's original movies were both released near the same time.
saw it in cinema, haven't seen it since. maybe I should rediscover it if BILL is in it. Love the original though, great stop motion, love that he goes crazy and attacks the lions haha
What's the name of the song that's starts at 0:04?
Boot to Reboots count
The Boot: 1
Spared: 2
The original Mighty Joe Young was like King Kong for kids.
King kong 1933 vs King kong 1976
Easily '33 Kong. 76 Kong was kinda boring
I don’t think it’s fair to compare King Kong 33 to King Kong 76 because they’re both completely different versions of the story it’s more of a reimagining than it is a strange up remake
@@alexvaldivia1855 and I don’t think it’s fair to compare King Kong 33 to King Kong 76 because they’re two different movies
1:10 When your girlfriend hates scary movies
My favorite Bill Paxton performance is in Near Dark
18:47 Explosion=MICHAEL BAY
I had only vaguely heard of Mighty Joe Young before this and for some reason I always through it was about baseball or boxing. No idea why.
Ape, not monkey.
17:20 Was Pee-Wee's Big Adventure paying homage to that?
Yeah safe to say I love the remake great characters amazing effects and joe is awesome heck I’ve literally started calling him bat ape I mean he literally does gymnastics and has tactics like where he evaded the helicopters plus saves kid so there’s that too
Love this movie, great story with a good message behind it!
Was mighty Joe young a king Kong rip off ........kind off ? Still both versions of mighty Joe young was enjoyable.
The original Mighty Joe Young was made by the same creative team who made the original King Kong so I would call it a spiritual successor to Kong!
"...we late for a basketball game."
😁🏀
I personally find this movie to be superior even to Peter Jackson's King Kong and the Kong story altogether for three reasons:
1) The relationship between Jill and Joe is more plausible than Ann and Kong. Jill and Joe first met at young ages and spent years getting to know each other, forming a deep bond built upon layers of familiarity and trust. This relationship can take similar time and careful effort for trainers and zoologists to forge with many species of primates. Kong warms up to Ann in just a few days on Skull Island mostly because she's pretty. Even for an already impossibly huge gorilla, that just isn't logical in context of the animal's nature. "Twas beauty killed the beast"? Very poetic, but perhaps too much so for its own good.
2) A lot more happens in the sequence of events and in the relationship building between characters in Mighty Joe Young than in King Kong. The summation of King Kong, when you think about it, is pretty straightforward. A film crew go to a deserted island, meet a tribe coexisting with a monster ape, the pretty damsel gets kidnapped, they save her and take the ape to put on display in America, he freaks out and rampages, the girl realizes he's not a monster, and he gets killed. In MJY, the steps in the plot are much more complex and the main characters generally more developed. Yes, a lot of it does mirror the basic premise of King Kong, but with a cleaner structure and more grounded narrative flow.
3) Joe's size, though drastically different from Kong, is certainly implausible, but the fact that he is smaller makes the illusion more acceptable. Even with the best effects, no one would find a 25 ft gorilla remotely believable. Joe's size is still nuts compared to real gorillas, but not by a lot. Gigantopithecus, currently the largest known ape species in history, grew over 10 ft/ 540 lb. Could we not speculate that Joe's character is a direct descendant? The Eastern gorilla can be over 6 ft/ 500 lb in the wild, and the biggest in captivity was reportedly 5 ft, 7 in./ 638 lb. Overall, Joe's presence is like the shark in Jaws or the snakes in Anaconda. You know such creatures will likely never exist but are nonetheless closer to the realm of possibility, which makes them more provocative.
Megaladon and Titanboa. Real creatures... possible that they still exist. Check it out.
Joe looks completly amazing
It's kind of a family in-joke. That kid who gives them the dollar made us laugh. That dollar will buy a leaf for your new nature preserve.
Can you do a boots to reboots video of the movie a wrinkle in Time
The effects are just as good as I remember!
Please do a Near Dark Review Andy 🤞🏻
Could charlize be ANY MORE GORGEOUS ?????? And a great actress to boot!!! Got discovered by making a beautiful stink at a bank not letting her cash a check from SA. She deserves every bit of her success. She was RADIANT here!
Even though the remake bombed at the box office I still pretty much like it
Omg I haven't thought of this remake in years
was that Sayid from Lost
Some sound notes on doing remakes. As pertinent today as when this first aired. 👌
after watching this channel in reverse order i have come to the conclusion Andy is very much less psychotic in the newer videos
Will you do a King Kong (2005) boots to reboots?
I think both King Kong 33 and King Kong 05 are on the same wave. They’re both great movies so I don’t think it’s compare the two
just watched the original and the remake this weekend, dude your twisted and hilarious. your the shit dawg
Thanks!
StitchedTogetherPics Waka waka!
*This video is a classic!* 🎃
I think the only amazing remake to me is the texas chainsaw 3D. Oops sorry I meant the texas chainsaw massacre 2003
Watch David Cronenberg's The Fly.
Or Let Me In. Or John Carpenter's the Thing. Or Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
1:08 😂😂😂
Wasn't Gorillas in the Mist about that Diane Fossey?
19:19 who died in those? tarzan-villain, bambi-his mom, lion king-mufasa, little mermaid-?, pocahontas- douche betrothed, atlantis-?, mulan-?, who framed roger rabbit- toons, tangled-?, oliver in company-villain, land before time- every dinosaur, beauty and the beast-gaston, the princess and the frog-?, up-wife :(
Ursula in the Little Mermaid, a whole crap ton of people in Mulan!
Two freaking army's worth, one scout, every dude on the grate wall and a village before the pass in the mountains. I think Mulan has the highest death count of any disney animated movie. Heck, the ancestors are all ghosts, and most the background troopers in "Pings" company are seemingly killed before she causes that avalanch going by how few of them were behind the rocks.
Mother Gothel dusted in Tangled. I haven't seen atlantis or princess and the frog so I can't tall ya those.
Were they really dropping lions in the original?? Those look real af
Stop motion Guru Harryhausen
do king kong boots to reboots please
No
Fuckin balled my eyes out watching mighty joe young with my dad when I was a little kid, he had to pause the movie so I could calm down before watching the end lmao
lol, from the far off future of 2021 I think I've gonna refer to this as "The Thorazine" period...
8:01
that 'Persian' guy is Naveen Andrews!!! Sayid in LOST!!!!!!!!
9:28 🤣🤣 wtf
"shut the fuck up lets start the movie"
mighty joe young was the original harambe
considering Mighty Joe Young lived, I'd say that's off. Kong was the original Harambe more like, lol
🤘🤘🤘🤘
This is the first movie that ever made me cry. Now I'm a giant pussy and tear up for anything.
Well I don't care it has Bill Paxton, it's ok
I didn't know they remade this, why are there so many ape movie remakes? Why no original ideas?
@Limau Purut and they think they know what makes success, but judging by recent movie reception, I don't think they do.
To be fair,
This movie has the disney-fied feeling to it like their each and every movie based on different fairy tales which i think is ok.
And
This as a remake is far more better than the recent remakes like Lion King, Aladdin, Mulan and more.
I would hope you stomped this movie just cause my grandma tortured me with this movie by repeatedly trying to make me watch it over, and over, and over, and over and over again!
Why aren’t all u jealous people loving on Charlize???
The remake is alot better.
0:15
Bri'ish
The original is a classic, and I think simply reducing it to "they just wanted to remake King Kong with a happy ending" is really dismissive and trite.
Yes, the film is very much a retelling of King Kong, but what it has even over that film is a better script. King Kong may be an immortal classic, but it's only really ever been sheer spectacle. The characters are bland and the time we have to spend with them before they reach Skull Island is drab and dry - not to mention mostly only filled with dated sexism and racism (relax ya'll, I'm not cancelling King Kong. Just stating obvious facts that a near-100 year old film hasn't aged well in so regards. You'll be fine).
The human and ape story of Mighty Joe Young has actual heart and charm to it. It even makes room for character development. It's simple and straightforward character development, but its there all the same. Joe is also more of a character in his film than Kong is - who is just a monster in the original film. Yes, we like and feel bad for Kong in the film, but not because of any actual narrative legwork the film does, but just because we're naturally inclined to feel sympathy for something so anthropomorphic as Kong. Take the culture love of Kong out of the equation, and he's just the Big Scary Monster in his original outing, nothing more.
Joe, on the otherhand, is fully fleshed out. He's an animal with intelligence and a soft heart - but the film never lets you forget he can be dangerous.
King Kong is a fantastic, defining American film. But when it gets right down to it, Mighty Joe Young may just be the better film.
I may have to start shipping her with Joe Young. All true King Kong fans ship King Kong with Anne Dawn Darrow.
At about 13:20 you call the gorilla a monkey. Gorillas are not monkeys, they are apes.
I don't think you're wearing your corona mask correctly bud
3:13 Not funny tbh. Took me out of the video. Idk remember you have black watchers and we're tired of the stereotypes. Terrible "black dude" voice also
😭👶
