Two Africans come by with an orphaned baby gorilla. Unbeknownst to her widowed father, Jill trades some of her toys, jewelry, and money for the gorilla and names him Joe Young. When he finds out, her father is initially reluctant to keep the gorilla, but eventually agrees. Ten years later, business man Max O'Hara and a cowboy named Gregg are on a trip in Africa looking for animals to headline in Max's <a href="/wiki/Hollywood,_Los_Angeles" title="Hollywood, Los Angeles">Hollywood</a> nightclub. The men have captured several lions and are about to leave when Joe Young appears, now 12 feet (3.7 m) tall and weighing 4,500 pounds (2,000 kg). When a caged lion bites Joe's fingers, he goes on a rampage. Visualizing Joe as their big nightclub attraction, Max and Gregg try to rope him, but he throws both men from their horses, breaks free, and attempts to attack them. A grown Jill Young arrives, calming Joe. The men meet with Jill, and Gregg becomes smitten with her. Max asks her to bring Joe and be part of his nightclub entertainment. He tells her that she and Joe will be a Hollywood hit and will be rich within weeks. Needing the income in order to keep her dead father's property, she agrees to take Joe to <a href="/wiki/Hollywood,_Los_Angeles" title="Hollywood, Los Angeles">Hollywood</a>. On opening night, Joe lifts a large platform above his head, holding Jill playing "<a href="/wiki/Beautiful_Dreamer" title="Beautiful Dreamer">Beautiful Dreamer</a>" on a grand piano. Afterward Joe has a tug of war with "the 10 strongest men in the world", which he easily wins. Italian heavyweight boxer <a href="/wiki/Primo_Carnera" title="Primo Carnera">Primo Carnera</a> tries to box with him, but Joe tosses him into the audience. Joe's popularity grows, and by the 10th week he is Hollywood's biggest nightclub attraction. By the 17th week, Joe has grown tired of performing and is homesick. Later, during dinner, Gregg and Jill express their love for one another, with Gregg agreeing to return with her to Africa. In his cage, an unhappy Joe tries to ignore three drunks who have sneaked backstage; they offer Joe an open whiskey bottle, and he becomes intoxicated. Taunting him, the drunks burn Joe's fingers with a cigarette lighter. Roaring with pain and rage, he breaks out, wrecking the nightclub's interior. He also smashes the glass of the lion habitat, allowing the lions to escape into the crowded club. After the drunks accuse Joe of trying to kill them, a court decree orders Joe to be shot. Gregg, Max, Jill, and a friend named Windy devise a plan to get Joe back to Africa using a moving van and cargo ship. Before reaching port, they see an orphanage engulfed in flames. Jill and Gregg help the caretakers save the children. A last group, along with Jill and Gregg, are trapped on the top level. Joe braves the raging fire by climbing an adjacent tall tree, carrying Jill to safety, while Gregg lowers each child by rope to the ground. One child is left behind, so Joe climbs up again, grabbing the little girl. Max assures Jill that because of Joe's heroism, his life will now be spared. Much later, Max receives home movies from his friends. Jill and Gregg are married and living on their ranch in Africa with Joe. Joe waves "goodbye," along with Jill and Gregg, to Max. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Mighty_Joe_Young_(1949_film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast">edit</a>]</div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Terry_Moore_(actress)" title="Terry Moore (actress)">Terry Moore</a> as Jill Young</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Lora_Lee_Michel" title="Lora Lee Michel">Lora Lee Michel</a> as Young Jill</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ben_Johnson_(actor)" title="Ben Johnson (actor)">Ben Johnson</a> as Gregg Johnson</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Robert_Armstrong_(actor)" title="Robert Armstrong (actor)">Robert Armstrong</a> as Max O'Hara</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Frank_McHugh" title="Frank McHugh">Frank McHugh</a> as Windy</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Douglas_Fowley" title="Douglas Fowley">Douglas Fowley</a> as Jones</li> <li><a href="/w/index.php?title=Denis_Green&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Denis Green (page does not exist)">Denis Green</a> as Dan Crawford</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Regis_Toomey" title="Regis Toomey">Regis Toomey</a> as John Young</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Paul_Guilfoyle_(actor,_born_1902)" title="Paul Guilfoyle (actor, born 1902)">Paul Guilfoyle</a> as Smith</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Nestor_Paiva" title="Nestor Paiva">Nestor Paiva</a> as Brown</li> <li><a href="/wiki/James_Flavin" title="James Flavin">James Flavin</a> as Schultz</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Primo_Carnera" title="Primo Carnera">Primo Carnera</a> as himself<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELife194994–95-3">[3]</a></li></ul> Uncredited performances with dialogue: <ul><li><a href="/w/index.php?title=Phil_Olafsson&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Phil Olafsson (page does not exist)">Phil Olafsson</a> as The Swedish Angel<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELife194994–95-3">[3]</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/William_Schallert" title="William Schallert">William Schallert</a> as a gas station attendant</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Charles_Lane_(actor,_born_1905)" title="Charles Lane (actor, born 1905)">Charles Lane</a> as a producer</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ellen_Corby" title="Ellen Corby">Ellen Corby</a> as a nurse at the burning orphanage</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Irene_Ryan" title="Irene Ryan">Irene Ryan</a> as a southern belle at the bar</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Mighty_Joe_Young_(1949_film)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Production">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Conception">Conception</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Mighty_Joe_Young_(1949_film)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Conception">edit</a>]</div> Mighty Joe Young was produced by Arko, a company formed by <a href="/wiki/John_Ford" title="John Ford">John Ford</a> and Merian C.

The fur used on the models was taken from the hide of an unborn <a href="/wiki/Calf_(animal)" title="Calf (animal)">calf</a>; the fine hair worked well for a small-scale model of a large animal.<a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a> O'Brien decided that it needed to be rubberized to prevent the hairs from sticking up when the animators handled the models, a problem that had not been addressed for the King Kong model.<a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a> Familiar with his patented technique for rubberizing fur, O'Brien hired George Lofgren to prepare the fur.<a href="#cite_note-37">[37]</a> Lofgren stretched the hide, combed the fur, and covered the hairs with a washable adhesive. After the adhesive dried, he placed the hide skin-up in a sealed container with <a href="/wiki/Dermestes" title="Dermestes">Dermestes</a> larvae, which ate the skin but not the hair and exposed the hair follicles. This done, rubber latex was applied; the adhesive was washed away after the rubber cured.<a href="#cite_note-38">[38]</a> In all there were six models varying from 5 to 16 inches.<a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a> The smaller models were used for long shots of Joe.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERovin197771-40">[40]</a> Harryhausen also created a 15-inch model of Joe's torso for close-ups, but it was never used because the other models sufficed.<a href="#cite_note-41">[41]</a> After filming was completed for the day, Delgado repaired the models.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEArcher199352-42">[42]</a> Having multiple models made it possible for animation to continue while other models were being repaired.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERovin197771-40">[40]</a> Delgado designed and sculpted additional models for lions, horses, and people to be used in stunt scenes.<a href="#cite_note-43">[43]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Animation_process">Animation process</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Mighty_Joe_Young_(1949_film)&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Animation process">edit</a>]</div> O'Brien's work on the animation largely involved the planning and preparation, including setting up the background images, while his assistants did most of the stop-motion features.<a href="#cite_note-44">[44]</a> Backgrounds for the animated scenes were created by using both glass paintings and projected images. To make a background of glass paintings, O'Brien layered sheets of painted glass, bringing depth to the image.<a href="#cite_note-45">[45]</a> Further depth was achieved with multiple small-scale props in the foreground.<a href="#cite_note-46">[46]</a> The other background method, projection, required small models so that the projected image could be smaller and therefore more crisp.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHarryhausenDalton200934-13">[13]</a> O'Brien and Cunningham designed and made the ARKO projectors used for the process.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHankin200830-47">[47]</a> Initially Cooper wanted the film to be shot in <a href="/wiki/Technicolor" title="Technicolor">technicolor</a>.
