    Rankin Bass...Kong?

    We are all familiar with the works of the Rankin Bass team from the 60's with their stop motion animation of Rudolph the red Nosed reinderr, etc. but I was watching King Kong Escapes (the one where he fights the mechanical King Kong) and saw that it was a Rankin Bass Production...go figure.

    That's because Rankin-Bass also produced the King Kong cartoon of the 60s and they had the rights at the time.....

      I thought this was going to be another Mad Monster Party thread. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

          A little trivia, the lady star of King Kong Escapes (Linda Miller) is Jackie Gleason's daughter.
