Re: Girls and Gorillas
This is certainly my favourite Kong art piece, in huge hi-resolution. Sweet and romantic.
Best viewed while playing the music here:

I was in the mood for the late great John Barry, master of the romantic soundtrack (Somewhere in Time; Out of Africa; The English Patient). Too bad that it only lasts about 2 1/4 minutes.

Re: Girls and Gorillas
Above from: The Mighty Kong
The Mighty Kong is a musical version of King Kong, changing the story to include a happy ending. This ruins all the thematic power of the original story, but the same can be said of a movie like Gnomeo and Juliet.
A tragic ending might be more respectful of the source, but it would probably come off as unnecessarily morbid in a cartoon. However, the ending they chose—Kong falling off the Empire State Building and then weakly turning to the camera right as credits roll—isn’t particularly family-friendly, either.
To bring a little bit of the Disney magic, the filmmakers cast Jodi Benson (Ariel from The Little Mermaid and Barbie from the Toy Story films) as the monkey-loving heroine. The songs were written by the Sherman Brothers, who wrote most classic Disney songs, from “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” to “It’s a Small World (After All).” Here, though, none of their songs are memorable, and they don’t enhance the story as much as prolong it.
The Mighty Kong came out in 1998, marking the 80th anniversary of Warner Brothers. It incorporates scenes from both the 1933 original as well as the 1976 remake. The film succeeds as a testament to the studio, reminding audiences of one of the biggest blockbusters of its time. It doesn’t do anything new, aside from the requisite happy ending, but it is a serviceable flashback to the glory days of a major studio.

It doesn't mention that the Bride's clothes miraculously seam themselves back to new throughout the course of the movie...

Sorry had to make a funny

Captain Carl Nelson made a mistake. While they were trying to enlist the help of King Kong, they were going to Mondo Island. They had misread their charts and ended up on Model Island Instead. There Lt Watson met a beautiful giant villager who decided the little one needed a makeover. Dr. Who and Mechani-Kong won that day.
