From a man in an app suit to fellow baby chimp and orangutan friends of Kimba, this is one hairy episode. Baby bears fight hyenas and a huge rope bridge is just missing Laurel and Hardy trying to push a piano across it when the gorilla appears. Johnny's trying to help a lady scientist get a vaccine to her father while natives look on in awe as a Moses lookalike stands atop a flame infested mountain range.
While the movie is watchable in a guilty pleasure sort of way, I can't rate it any higher due to seemingly deliberate insipidness and a ton of ridiculous clichés. Typical white villains try to cause trouble in a mining claim and of course look as smarmy as the fraud they're perpetuating, trying to get into an area forbidden to entry by strangers.
Now that I've reached the end of the series, I've decided that the only way to watch them again is to create a drinking game. Every time Kimba (or one of his/her predecessors) does a back flip or puts its hands over the eyes, I chug. And if the movie ends with the cast laughing at one of the chimp's antics, I do a double!
