One of the most famous scenes in the movie is when King Kong climbs the Empire State Building in New York, and this is something you can recreate with your toddler. As the building, all you’ll need to wear is a grey sweater, grey pants, and a building headpiece while your kid wears a monkey suit.
Ann Darrow is a beautiful woman and struggling performer who sets sails on a ship with her favorite playwright, only to be captured in Skull Island. There, she meets Kong who falls in love with her. Though she was scared witless at first, she forms a bond with Kong and gains the giant’s trust.
