Trivia
- Kong: The Animated Series was created mainly to compete with the other popular contemporary giant monster cartoon, Godzilla: The Series, and managed to stay on the air for the same number of episodes. Both series were ultimately cancelled due to their inability to compete with popular children's anime series such as Pokémon and Digimon.[citation needed] However, Kong: The Animated Series did have reruns aired on Fox Kids long after its cancellation.
- Kong: The Animated Series is one of three animated series based on King Kong, preceded by The King Kong Show (1966-1969) and succeeded by Kong: King of the Apes (2016). The latter shares some connections with Kong: The Animated Series, due to its production company, 41 Entertainment, splitting off from BKN International. The show's opening theme is actually a remix of the opening from Kong: The Animated Series, and its lead writer, Sean Catherine Derek, wrote for the previous series. Both series also feature protagonists who have known Kong since childhood and frequently refer to him as their "bro."
