Which was made first The Monkey's Uncle or The Strongest Man in the World?
The Monkey's Uncle The Monkey's Uncle is a 1965 Walt Disney production starring Tommy Kirk as genius college student Merlin Jones and Annette Funicello (Who was a member of the mouseketeers from The Mickey Mouse Club) as his girlfriend, Jennifer. The title plays on the idiom "monkey's uncle" and refers to a chimpanzee named Stanley, Merlin's legal "nephew" (a legal arrangement resulting from an experiment to raise Stanley as a human); Stanley otherwise has little relevance to the plot. Jones invents a man-powered airplane and a sleep-learning system. The film is a sequel to the 1964 film "The Misadventures of Merlin Jones."
Uncle Beazley The statue is named after a dinosaur in the children's book "The Enormous Egg" (1956), by Oliver Butterworth, and a movie adaptation televised on the NBC Children's Theatre in which the statue appeared. The book and the film, which aired on April 18, 1968, tell the story of a boy who finds an enormous egg laid by a hen that hatches a baby triceratops. The triceratops, named Uncle Beazley, becomes too big, so the boy brings him to the Smithsonian Institution. Beazley is first kept at National Museum of Natural History, but is eventually transferred to the National Zoo’s Elephant House because there is a law against stabling large animals in the District of Columbia.
