wow i love the pruduction its really nice and when you made the movie wonderful , make more , which program did you use to make it , how did you couler it , and shigeru miyamoto is awsome!!
Great video, but the most ironic part of all is that unlike what the video says, Universal DIDNT own the rights to King Kong, and actually used the fact that King Kong was public domain to win a previous court case, which made Nintendo's defense a slam dunk. Aside form that, the court found that DK wasn't a rip off of King Kong in the first place, but a legitimate parody. This is all in the book "Game Over" by David Sheff.
Awesome Lawyer = one Mr. John Kirby, as a reward for winning the case he was awarded to exclusive rights to name boats after Donkey Kong, also the character of Kirby may have been named after him, but Sakurai doesn't remember
stuff2o: he is was called DONKEY because nintendo of america (when they were translating it) thought that japan said Donkey, not monkey. THAT'S why you thought.
No wiigenius, Universal did consider that fact, and actually used it in a previous court case where they won because of that fact. King kong was public property, and the judge has stated that in universal's favor before. Jack Kirby just pointed that out to the judge in this case and won the case because of it :)

I hate "awesome lawyers" but this animation is totally cool!
I read that Miyamoto used Kong as a reference to King Kong and Donkey because he was looking for an adjective that meant foolish or just dumb.
Great!

.....................................yay!!
no ... where do u live cus it may mean something els where u live
no its not, that is an old rumor debunked years ago
when Miyamoto presented DK's name to Nintendo of America, they actually laughed at him :( but look who's laughing NOW >=D
Nintendo's lawyer was who they named Kirby after, Jack Kirby. No relation to the
comic book artist
Another was Howard Lincoln, as a reward he became president of Nintendo of America.

No, it was called Donkey Kong because (according to Pauline) he's got a massive wanger.
Donkey kong > king Kong.
