King Kongo

George and Becky are making a monster movie, but things aren't going very smoothly. Junior, their star "monster," is more interested in snacking on cookies than acting. Meanwhile, Mom and Dad are hosting an important fundraiser for the Arts and are busy organizing the evening's entertainment festivities. But just as George and Becky are about to give up, they find a new star, a monkey in their backyard that has escaped from the circus. Mom and Dad's fundraiser turns into a lot of monkey business which ends in "King Kongo" going home to the circus and Mom and Dad raising a lot of money for a good cause.
