More info: King Kong is a fictional monster, a gigantic animal resembling a gorilla that has appeared in several films since 1933. These include the groundbreaking 1933 movie, the film remakes of 1976 and 2005, as well as various sequels of each. The character has become one of the world's most famous movie icons and, as such, has transcended the medium, appearing in other works outside of films, such as a cartoon series, books, comics, various merchandise and paraphernalia, video games, theme park rides, and even an upcoming stage play. His role in the different narratives varies from source to source, ranging from rampaging monster to tragic antihero. The rights to the character are currently held by Universal Studios, with limited rights held by the estate of Merian C. Cooper, and perhaps certain rights in the public domain (see below).
