I'm an avid Ray Harryhausen fan, and this is one of my favorites. Disney remade it some years later, but I still love the stop-motion special effects from this era. If you haven't seen this already then it chronicles the story of an ape that gets adopted by a young girl. In typical Hollywood fashion...the ape is transported to civilization where mayhem ensues and terror and confusion are the norm. Add in a little romance, excitement and a happy ending to get a lovable movie called "Mighty Joe Young."
