The look on Joe's face at 00:06 is always so heartbreaking. He understands a scared child when he sees one, especially since the boy probably reminded him of Jill's child-self.
Yeah, and at 1:55 he is scared because he knows he's risking his own life doing this, but he doesn't give up because he has courage and the boy needs him.
I loved how people first thought he was a monster but when he saw that little boy trapped on the burning Ferris wheel and saved him later on people appreciated him as a hero
Rider AE I'm amazed that some people diss this movie as a kiddie version of King Kong. In some cases it is, but people can't see it as it own thing like I have as a kid.
According to Bill Paxton, this was the toughest scene in the movie to film. Plus, the Ferris Wheel was full-scale, so they only had one chance of getting it right.
This was a heart pounding moment for this movie. I cried my eyes out every time when I see the ferris wheel getting ready to collapse. It was hooray moment when he saves Jason and sad at the same time because he risked his life to save him so he wouldn't die. I got a little emotional after this because this movie was part of my childhood and it just hit me.
mine to MJY was always my fave childhood monkey freaking loved the hell out of MJY joe was my favorest monkey why i remember back in the day i loved Joe so much not a day went by i wouldnt tune in just to see Mighty Joe why i'd give anything to bring back mighty joe to disney you ask me Mighty Joe is a legend that will forever live on in our hearts
Holy crap dude I didn't realize this movie was so close to my heart. Randomly searched it up and I started tearing up at this scene. The acting, the music, everything is amazing
This scene of Joe rescuing Jason is a reference to the 1949 Mighty Joe Young original, of the Burning Orphanage where he rescues a little girl from the burning orphanage, this movie actually stayed to true the classic movie. I love this movie along with King Kong 😊🦍
The effects still hold up. The expressions on Joe’s face. As kids we never saw him as anything less than a real animal, and I still don’t. I think it’s a good remake.

When I was a kid I couldn't stop to cry, now I'm 18 years old and I can't resist to cry again 😭😭😭😭 Edit: As the more time passes, I’m getting older than 18 years old.
This scene showed Joe is much more than just an animal. Risking his life to save a little boy he doesn’t know. This is the moment that showed the world that Joe was not a monster they first believed him to be. He didn’t even just grab the kid, he placed his hand and waited for Jason to trust him before he can help him.
It's criminal how underrated this film is. It also goes to show that Charlize Theron can make a powerful performance without violence shown. Can anyone imagine a horror or action film being made today without blood? Have we degraded ourselves into being savages?
Superb music composition coupled with class animatronics and a heartwrenching scene. What really gets me is the eyes. They were so realistic, they say the eyes are the window to the soul and they managed to capture that and show a genuine care in Joe's eyes. The look of a kind soul recognising a young boy in danger as he once was and a need to help and save an innocent from a purely unselfish preposition. This was truely a beautiful scene.
I saw this movie when I was a little kid. I watch it now with my kids. I'm 32 and This scene still makes me cry like a baby. I know it's just a movie but a baby crying for his mommy breaks my heart! I know I'm just a sentimental nerd!
I loved how at first people first thought he was a monster but when that little boy was trapped on the burning Ferris wheel and he saved him everybody appreciated him and hailed him as a hero
I haven't seen this whole movie since I was a little kid. I remember I used to have it on VHS and would watch it all the time. This brought back alot of good memories!
When the ferris wheel tips over and both it and Joe hit the ground, I was screaming and wailing so loudly and hysterically and end up in tears at the same time! That is the most horrific site I have ever seen! Both Joe and the boy could've died!
In the original movie, joe saves a orphan baby girl when her orphanage catches fire, saving her from the flames but also when the building wall collapses, shielding her from the falling debris
For some reason, after I was a little little kid and watched Mighty Joe Young for the first time, this is the one scene that kept popping in my head once in a while. FINALLY I FOUND OUT WHICH MOVIE IT CAME FROM
I havent seen this movie in so long. I remember being 5 and bawling at this part AND when they locked Joe away. But this scene is just too much for my little heart.
I Am Very Proud Of Joe The Gorilla After He Risked His Life To Save Jason's Life From The Burning Ferris Wheel This Scene Makes Me Cry In Tears I Got Very Worried About Joe The Gorilla He Was Very Close To Commit Suicide He Just Landed On The Ground Unconscious
I watched that movie when I was a boy, not more than 4-5. and because of this scene I was always afraid of the Wheel, but I reassured myself saying that if it turns bad Joe will be there
This was aired on HBO and Star Movies when I was a kid, back before 2008's, one of my fav. movies. Man that decade was so nostaglic, sitting in front of TV and watching all these movies! George of the Jungle, Jingle all the way, The Mummy, The Mummy returns, Dunston checks in, Ace Ventura pet detective, Liar liar and so many more!
Love this Movie So Much As a Kid And As a Disney Fan This Last Part Of the Film Always Makes Me Cry And 😭 There will Never Be a Other Great Heart touching Movie Like This Also R.I.P Bill Braxton
I'm not even looking at the video, I'm just listening to a three second bit and I've had to stop or I'm going to cry in front of everyone in the Sixth Form Computer Room
