Empire -
A 1949 for-kids version of the King Kong story still boasting a lot of charm.

Variety -
Mighty Joe Young is fun to laugh at and with, loaded with incredible corn, plenty of humor, and a robot gorilla who becomes a genuine hero.
|

|
The New York Times -
The wonder of Mighty Joe Young is the mobility of the mechanical star, but even that novelty wears thin after a while.

TV Guide Magazine -
Though produced by the same people responsible for the classic King Kong, Mighty Joe Young is a pale imitation.

Mighty Joe Young (1949)
After being taken from his home in Africa, Gorilla "Joe" is an instant hit in a Hollywood nightclub. This fun and wonderfully entertaining slant on "King Kong" is much better than Kong's 1934 sequel, "Son of Kong". This all ages adventure has superb special effects from Willis O'Brien and his protege, Ray Harryhausen.
