A stupefyingly awful animated version of King Kong (which means it is still better than the live-action remake of the 70's, all copies of which should be confiscated and burned.). Whose bright idea was it to make kids wait through 40 minutes of bad songs before even getting to the island? After which Kong takes on all prehistoric comers in a tag-team match lasting about 5 minutes total. Then we get more bad songs. If you already own the original movie (an all-time great adventure) and you want to buy your children a Kong-related product try Anthony Brown's pretty decent storybook retelling. But skip this embarassingly bad piece of dreck! I'd give it no stars if that were an option.
