Kong: King of the Apes Season 2 trailer

Trivia

  • Kong: King of the Apes shares some connections with the previous animated series featuring King Kong, Kong: The Animated Series, due to its production company, 41 Entertainment, splitting off from BKN International, who produced the previous series.
    • Allen Bohbot's theme music for Kong: King of the Apes is a remix of his theme from Kong: The Animated Series, with the most notable difference being the removal of the chanting of "Kong."
    • Kong: King of the Apes also shares a writer (Sean Catherine Derek) and an executive producer (Allen Bohbot) with its predecessor.
  • The Pteranodon concept art created for this show is a direct reference to the final scene of the film The Lost World: Jurassic Park, which featured a Pteranodon striking an identical pose.
