For the 100th episode (yes, I have been counting) of Stop-Motion Rarities, I have found this animation of Delores Del Rio on her pool and the cave monster from SON OF KONG (you can say that this creature is the ancestor of such monsters as the Rhedosaurus from THE BEAST FROM 20'000 FATHOMS (1953) and Shimo from the Monsterverse film, GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE). Now I don't know who animated it. It could be either Willis O'Brien (who was at the worst time of his life back then), Pete Peterson, or Buzz Gibson. This footage was found and was shown in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Enjoy.
