I can't get enough of King Kong. I even watch the monkey suit movies. But the "real" King Kong is stop-motion, the breath of life that gave Kong his powerful personality in 1933.

In 1972, David Allen animated this legendary Kong sequence for a Volkswagen commercial. And he nailed it.

Kong stands atop the Empire State Building, exactly where he belongs. Kong looks beautiful. The face is that of the Kong I love, the doll-sized 1933 version, and he's as ferocious and innocent as I remember. And it's in color!

Thanks, David Allen.

    Wasn't this the same thing where they used Hammer's footage from their attempted King Kong movie and laced into a commericial?

    David Allen did pitch King Kong to Hammer Studios, but this Kong is original to the commercial.

    If you don't mind, may I ask where you found this? I've seen it before except it was on a documentary.

    This version came off the Criterion Collection DVD of EQUINOX, released in 2006. I highly recommend the DVD. I also acquired a 16mm version off eBay. It looks great on a big screen!
