What's creepy about that? That's more than a thousand times the number of the beast, which makes it...

@Gojira ..
There's a couple of channels on youtube that have been playing the old Godzilla movies 24/7... Its the Japanese versions with English subtitles which I like better.

As a kid, It was always aggravating to me that when Godzilla had to fight more than one monster, he would get teamed up with a monster that had no real powers ( Gamera, Jet Jaguar, Mothra, etc..). His enemies always seemed to have multiple powers and able to do more other things. On paper, he should have been no match for mecha-godzilla yet Godzilla was able to detach mecha-godzillas head a couple times.

Just some things I pondered in my early years.

I was always a fan of Tom and Jerry. Seeing Tom fail all his attempts and hearing the loud scream he made when injured never failed to give me a laugh.

That's true, Godzilla's teammate usually wasn't a big help, like Mothra and Rodan.

To get the full version of the films, the English subtitles are good. But I like the United Artists English dubs for the original Shōwa era films; they have so much joy in them. It's too bad there was never a Godzilla Vs Gamera. :LOL:

Deep thoughts :) I love it. I did not know about that YouTube channel. Thanks.

Here's the first cartoon I recall ever watching.
I had the plush toy King Kong that had a place on his arm to snap his little friend Billy Bantam. I really liked that toy and kept it for many years after outgrowing it. It was the kind that had an internal box of recordings when you pull the string. I just thought of it first time in many years after giving my opossum a banana and seeing a Kong ad.
He said, "Here Billy, have a banana!"

From the caption:
"KING KONG Cartoon Clips PLOT: This series is an animated adaptation of the famous movie monster King Kong with character designs by Jack Davis and Rod Willis. In this series, the giant ape befriends the Bond family, with whom he goes on various adventures, fighting monsters, robots, aliens, mad scientists and other threats. Unlike King Kong's destructive roles in his movies, the cartoon turned him into a protector of humanity."

The other Rankin Bass cartoon at the time was Tom Thumb.
