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.

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

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

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