King Kong (1933) More at IMDb Pro »

While Fay Wray is unconscious, Kong peels off pieces of her clothing like petals of a flower, sniffs them, and drops them to the ground. Miss Wray is still fully clothed. It is only mentioned here because the scene was censored when reissued in 1938, due to stricter censorship demands enforced in 1934. It was restored in 1971. There is nothing objectionable about today's children watching this scene. The scene is more humorous than overtly sexual.

Contrary to what someone else wrote: "Men fall into pit and get eaten by insects", this is not true. The contributor must have been confused by a historical note that when "King Kong" was previewed in 1933, there was a scene like this, but it was deemed too graphic and was deleted before widespread release. In the 2005 remake, this scene was recreated. Trust me, this does not occur in the 1933 original film. The fights between Kong and the dinosaurs on Skull Island are somewhat violent, but not excessively by today's standards. I believe for children aged 2 and up, would be fine.

No profanity.

None

As mentioned above, Kong's battles with the dinosaurs are a little intense at times. But there is nothing extremely violent or so disturbing that it would scar your kids for life. This movie could entertain a 2 year old so dont be afraid to show your kids because its a classic.
