Here is a little history behind the 1966 cartoon series that I didn't never know anything about.... "Was I under a rock at that time- age 13 ?" I loved King Kong movies and even had a model of him and poster in my bedroom. Well without further ado here is some brief history on the animated cartoon, not very much though.
King Kong: The Animated Series was a Japanese animated series produced by Toei Animation and Videocraft International. The series was an American anime influenced series that aired on ABC in the United States in the late 1960s. It is the first anime series produced in Japan for an American company.
This animated adaptation of the King Kong movie tells the story of a huge gorilla who befriends a family. The gorilla goes on various adventures with the family, fighting monsters, robots, aliens, mad scientists and other threats.
This was a huge success and resulted in two movies: Ebirah, Horror of the Deep and King Kong Escapes. The King Kong vs. Godzilla series had been a success and the King Kong Escapes movie was based on the original King Kong show.
The cast who supplied voices... Billie Mae Richards
Paul Soles
