70's Kids remade KING KONG in a little over 5 minutes!

Hey folks, Harry here and this hits a whole shitload of geek bones for me. First off, being a child of the 70s, seeing kids with the exact same kind of bad hair and fashion like I had as a kid, well it definitely sets off some of the nostalgic buttons that I had going off in my head. More than that though is the narrative that they set in this not quite 6 minute production of KING KONG that they made. Here they combined the Dino Kong with the real KING KONG to make something all their own. As if to say, why didn't they do it like this... and have dinosaurs fighting King Kong like they were supposed to!!! This was a big sticking point with me and my friends at the time. The stupid oil plot felt poignant to all of us, because OPEC was squeezing our gas pumps in those days and we thought that we'd have to be dealing with OIL issues for the rest of our lives. HA! Those silly 70's kids thoughts... So funny. Anyway - if you're a fellow monster kid, you'll get a kick out of this. Thanks goes to Paul Dini and EasyDreamer for the heads up!
