Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia"Creation" was abandoned when David O. Selznick took over from William LeBaron as head of production at RKO in 1932, but Selznick's assistant, Merian C. Cooper, had special-effects technician Willis H. O'Brien and his crew kept on salary because Cooper had already conceived of the story of "King Kong" and realized O'Brien's stop-motion animation technique would be a practical way to film King Kong (1933).

Featured review
A surprise to find this is even listed on IMDb
There are a number of films in Hollywood history that went into preproduction, even actually shot test footage for a presentation reel, only to be shelved by the studio for various reasons. Usually such ventures are forgotten to all but a few film fans & scholars, let alone actually listed on the Internet Movie Database. So it was very surprising (but a pleasant surprise!) to find Willis O'Brien's CREATION actually given a full listing here, especially since less than a full reel of film still survives. When JURASSIC PARK came out, there were dozens of bargain bin tapes on dinosaur movies that popped up to cash in on the interest in dino-films of the past, many of which included the CREATION footage in their collection of clips. Perhaps, when the DVD of the original KING KONG finally gets its years-overdue release, the CREATION footage will be restored and included among the extras.
