He may only come up to King Kong's shin, but Joe makes up in heart what he lacks in size. This sweet tale of a girl and her pet/best friend, an African gorilla with the soul of a kitten, pulls on a different set of heartstrings than the giant ape classic. Robert Armstrong practically repeats his role from King Kong as a Broadway producer who lures Jill Young (Terry Moore) and Joe, an ape she raised from baby (a splendidly realized stop-motion character created by Willis O'Brien, the creator behind Kong), to New York as the star attraction at his new nightclub. Caged in a cramped basement holding cell, the unhappy Joe finally goes berserk after a trio of drunks ply him with alcohol, and the city rules him a menace. In a desperate attempt to save Joe from execution, Jill rounds up her friends and confidants (including beefy love interest Ben Johnson) for a jailbreak. This human-scale drama is more subdued than its inspiration, but the nightclub rampage remains a terrifying scene in its mad destruction; and the climax, involving a raging fire at an orphanage (have these filmmakers no shame?!), still impresses. --Sean Axmaker

Before CGI, there was Ray Harryhausen, it is fun to watch the special effects as well as facial expressions from this animated ape. Fun story and a cameo with a young Irene Ryan, Granny from the Beverly Hillbillies, in the club scene by the bar. I first saw this on TV as a kid and still enjoy it today.

The same crew that brought us the original King Kong must have decided it was something of a downer, so they offered us a different, more upbeat (and very funny) variation on the theme, complete with happy ending.
Mighty Joe is a huge 2000-pound gorilla, raised as an orphan by a human girl companion. Joe is no King Kong, he's a gentle, good-natured giant.
One of Ray Harryhausen's first stop-motion projects, Joe's expressive face and mannerisms - body language, personality ... Read More

This movie was excellent. It reminded of my youth. I am proud to add it to my video collection. Even though it's in Black and white, it's a good DVD. I give it 5 stars.

"Mighty Joe Young" was a very entertaining film with a surprising amount of action. In fact, the last third to last half of this film is just about non-stop. it reminded me of King Kong, of course with a big age being brought to New York City for display and then things going haywire. This movie, however, has a happier ending than "Kong," although it doesn't look like that will be the case near the end. It turns to be a very suspenseful movie in that last 30 minutes, especially.
