One of the rarest special effects props we've ever encountered makes its way through Adam's cave as he checks out the last fully intact stop-motion animation puppet from Mighty Joe Young (1949). Adam examines X-rays taken of the puppet that reveal its beautiful armature and the improvements stop-motion pioneer Willis O'Brien made to his designs after animating King Kong. We can't believe how good it still looks after over 75 years!
