King Kong

As an example of more traditional animation, I decided to look at the 1933 creation of King Kong. It was Directed and Produced by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest. B Schoedsack. The Screen Play is by James Ashmore Creelman and Ruth Rose. This film was distinguished for its Stop Motion animation.

I wanted to include this animation, because even though it could make a few people giggle today, it was hugely significant when it was released. I think even though the quality of Stop Motion animation has developed hugely, it is still important to appreciate the early work. It had to have started somewhere!
