I swear I thought this was just a fever dream from my childhood. The only part I vividly remember is Dudley Moore comedically screaming “THOSE CHAINS COULD HOLD A BATTLESHIP!”
The songs are written by the Sherman Brothers. The same dudes who created the very beloved songs in Mary Poppins, Disney's Jungle Book and the Winnie the Pooh.
I think the reason it exists can be answered by looking at its release year; 1998. This was clearly made to cash in on the remakes of Godzilla and Mighty Joe Young.
Man this was one of those movies that I remember seeing the VHS cover for at video rental stores but never rented it. For the longest time I had no idea it was an animated remake until about 4 years ago when Kong: Skull Island came out. Also funny enough around the same time Kong: Skull Island came out, The Mighty Kong just showed up on RUclips one day. I remember watching it and hating it. As someone who has seen a good majority of the King Kong movies. This in my option is the worst of the bunch.
Well....now I know that was a thing. Yet another Kong film that I never knew existed and I'm happy about that fact. I do have some questions about Jack Driscoll in this version; 1) Why was he given such a Rapey face? and 2) Why was he biting off the fuse of that munition? Was it supposed to behave like a grenade and pulling the pin? Did he have some sort of fiber deficiency that forced him to gnaw through every rope-like substance he laid eyes on? And seriously....what was with the Zeppelins? Because structurally and physically....they don't work that way... And as for the crew of the one Kong folded up? They died, swiftly but horribly as they plummeted to the streets below. I'm sure the movie just glossed over that fact so they could show us Kong waking up to the Monkey in the tuxedo though, right? These are the best part of my viewing experience, thank you for suffering through this for us! 👍
Fun fact if something as big as Kong we're to drop off the empire state building he wouldn't just plop down it would Fucking explode Can't wait to see that cut
5:04 In case you didn't know, the volcano scene in Fallen Kingdom was a repurposed adaptation of the ending the original Jurassic Park novel, but instead of destroying the island via military strike, it's destroyed via natural disaster.
Jeezus christ. I know a lot of actors will just take a paycheck for a shorter film schedule, or that you can pitch Voice actor work to them and they won't realize the atrocious quality of the film until AFTER it's made. But Jodi Benson deserved way better than this.
This has so much Titanic: The Animated Movie energy it's scary.
But at least it's better than Titanic animated movie
Oh fuck you're right

6:17 i found it wired with Roscoe screaming like that, as Kong was falling from the empire state building.
Mom, can we have King Kong?
No son, there is King Kong at home.
At home:
You unlocked a part of my brain that hasn’t been opened since my childhood with this video. I remember having this movie

They can still stub their toes, I stand by what I said
@@CorruptNostalgia Or maybe it's because their talent was just wasted? Guess they had to get paid somehow. 🤷♀
I would have loved this as a kid. Right alongside Zilla animated
I'm pretty sure a better animated King Kong movie would be Kong: King of Atlantis.

THIS WAS 1998?? I THOUGHT IT WAS FROM LIKE THE 70S WHAT THE FU-
And also don’t forget Disney Renaissance.

Your average Godzilla fan: "King Kong Escapes is the worst Kong movie ever!"
The Mighty Kong: "Hold my beer..."
Monke momen
I didn't think King Kong Escapes was that bad
I’m so excited for your future reviews! Foaming for a King Kong(2005) review ;))
I remember watching this on cartoon network when I was 4/5 and getting happy that Kong lived at the end
And Don't Forget:,,,,,,'Ping Pong' from 1950's Mad Magazine.
I have never seen this animation before, and '33 Kong is my favorite movie of all time. Thanks for bringing his abomination to my attention
The Mighty Kong is literally King Kong flinging the Great Mighty Poo (an opera singing pile of shit) from Conker's Bad Fur Day at you. 🦍💩
OK, WHAT DID I JUST WATCH? What have I brought myself into this time?
Now imagine what would happen if they remade the original Godzilla or Gamera as a direct to video animated musical movie.
For a second, I thought you were reviewing the STAGE musical of King Kong, which I heard was a really lackluster show.
I had no idea this thing existed
This looks like a job for....PHELOUS.
Or Brandon Tenold, Orga from Monster Island Buddies, or James Rolfe
@@nicholaslienandjaja1815 Not Doug Walker though. He'd just blame Michael Bay or Zack Snyder, or something.
@@RedDragonM1 And the less said about Change the Channel, the better.
I wish Magilla Gorilla would get his own movie. I want to see him fight Grape Ape.
Good thing you're not reviewing Everything kong related (rankin bass cartoon,the 90s kong series, ect)
Agreed mr gozi 🙃
The Rankin bass Kong is better than the musical one
The first song genuinely made me upset
This reminds me of that one Tom and Jerry movie
I don't know why it is movie actually exist
Don't forget to cover the '90s Kong animated series.
I will sometime in the future but I don't intend to for this current run, just wanted to focus on the movies
@@CorruptNostalgia You could review it when the Skull Island anime comes out.
I oddly want to own this!
İf the 1954 Godzilla was remade as a bad musical and Godzilla talks in it that's where im heading out
King kong the Musical... Cool.
Never heard of this movie 😊
Not sure the film’s copyright owner is still doing it, but my friends review got pulled a few years back just over the thumbnail.
Even if they try I'll just fight it like I fight all the rest I get
But what would you rather watch... this or the 76 film?
Rather watch the 1933 version 📼
The 76 version for shure
King Kong takes Atlantis is infinitely better
Tell me why Zach Hadel is in this movie?
😌great review
no love for the Kong animated series? they had a movie with Kong in Atlantis
I only plan to do the main movies for now, but I might get to those later
Man, I just watched Godzilla vs Kong yesterday. It so Good,Better than KOTM.
And both movies are a million times better than The Mighty Kong.
@@nicholaslienandjaja1815 agreed
@@ShinGhidorah17 wish you great luck 👍
Kong did not need those songs
Jeezus christ. I know a lot of actors will just take a paycheck for a shorter film schedule, or that you can pitch Voice actor work to them and they won't realize the atrocious quality of the film until AFTER it's made. But Jodi Benson deserved way better than this.
It's a good video but I just feel wrong taking it off 69 likes
At least they're are other King Kong shows that are way better than this
This is the worst Kong movie ever made!
I love Blonde Ariels 🎶Polly Olly smile 🎶...and hips! ❤ Mmmmm!
