What our customer's say!

"amazing schlock", Animated Planet of the Apes is- I have to be honest- pretty terribly animated, awkwardly voice-acted, and has a plot that is as slow as Pluto's journey around the sun. But I get a kick out of it because it is so ridiculous that it comes back around to awesome. Only for people with a high tolerance of schlock and ham. If you're on the fence about whether or not to get it, check out the Star Trek Animated Series first, which may inform your decision better.

"great memories", i loved it! brought back sat. morning for me. i think it was better than the prime time show

"For Completists Only", I bought this two years ago, and so far have only watched three episodes. Despite the potential for some good stories, the show doesn't really hold my interest. The abysmal quality of mid-70s TV animation doesn't help, as everything is very stiff and static, and certain shots are repeated again and again.

The cost of animation was skyrocketing in the 1970s, and with a limited budget there was not much the producers could do. When computers began to take over in the late 80s, animation could once again delight and amaze, but this only emphasizes the stodgy quality of 70s cartoons.

The live action series was much more interesting and enjoyable. As a POTA enthusiast, I suppose I should give the cartoon another try, but it's just not compelling viewing. I'd recommend this only for hard-core fans of the films.


"better than I remembered", Yes, the animation is horrible. Not a lot of movement, a lot of repetition, a lot of looooonnnnnnng establishing shots. BUT...the artwork is wonderful. Think of it as watching a comic book or graphic novel. Suddenly it gets a lot better.
The voicework is terrible. Except for Urko.
The stories aren't too bad at all, not a lot of dumbing down for the kiddies. Some of the decisions our heroes make are rather stupid, but overall the stories are fairly well done.
Do not expect much carryover from the movies, except for some characters' names. This series is closer to the Pierre Boulle novel in terms of the ape technology, and does not follow the film 'canon'.
I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting this series that I last saw as a child. I just wish it had an ending.

"Planet of the Apes cartoon", This is a great relic of the early 1970's, it gets panned for it's basic animation style, very much like the early animated Star Trek cartoon of similar time period. For the Planet of the Apes completist you must have this as it is a " Apes" and cartoon collectors gem, for the curious it is a great example of early 1970's cartoon sci-fi, and for the high octane ADHD X-Box generation who expect to view everything like film never existed and all must be HD Blue-Ray to be watchable then the eclectic value here might escape them.

"Return to the Planet of the Apes", JUST ABOUT AS HOKKIE AS THEY COME- ANIMATION? IS VERY POOR - I KNOW ITS OLD BUT ???

"The final chapter", DePatie-Freleng, the people behind the Pink Panther toons, take us on a final journey to the Planet of the Apes. This obscure 1975 animated series was the last gasp of 'Apemania', that uniquely 70s phenomena spawned by the runaway success of the Planet Of The Apes franchise. Following the failure of the underrated 1974 live action series, Return To The Planet Of The Apes wisely chooses not to repeat what has gone before, and breaks new ground. Pierre Boulle's original novel "The Monkey Planet" is the basis for this series, in which the Apes employ modern technology to make the lives of our three heroes difficult. Let's not avoid the big issues here, folks - the animation is utterly terrible, the plots lack any kind of logic, Ron Brent refuses to put on clothes, and the human characters are as wooden as Noah's Ark - but there's a strange sort of 'Ed Wood' magic to this very crudely-realised series that makes you stick with it for the entire 13 episodes. Kudos to Fox for the excellent remaster job (avoid the edition in the Legacy megaset...the quality is dross), and thanks also for the ultra-rare Next Episode trailers - pity there's no Making Of documentary. As a specimen of 70s Saturday morning television, and for the Apes fanatic, this is a 100% must see - the final iteration of a series that changed Hollywood. It's just a pity that the animation makes Star Trek: TAS look like James Cameron's Avatar, that's all. Ten bonus points to the guy who voiced Jeff. Perhaps the most wooden vocal performance in TV history!




"Return to the Planet of the Apes", The animated Saturday Morning Show still is worth watching. The 13 episodes of stories are gear for both kids and adults a like. It has the
same basic story line as the movies, but starts at the begining with three new astronauts. The color is excellent.

"back in time...", I was a kid when this was on t.v and I was really into the ape movies and toys ect. but I remember this being a generic cartoon.
Now getting this dvd (at Wal-Mart) I know why.This cartoon is in no way for kids,especially from the 70's cartoon era.Its 100% drama with no comedy at all.
The dvd quality is great as is the sound,its worth buying.
The budget was low so theirs a lot of scenes looping over and over but the still scene shots are awesome and ahead of their time.
Buy it and go back in time.

"An Artistic Vision", I thought of buying the Ape Head set to get this, but I didn't really like many of the sequels. The TV series was gold, the original movie was a masterpiece but I already owned those and didn't want to chance this short lived series at such a huge cost. Thankfully my waiting (for once) paid off! Though I am only 2 episodes into this I just had to give my 2 bits.

+ The use of color and shading I can already see is a 5/5. The look and feel of the show practically has a feature presentation quality to it. Light and shadow are almost as fun to watch in this series as the stories! At first I was a bit unsure of the Apes having newer technology, but for the most part it works. Another area that is GOLD is the sound. I think I would buy this soundtrack seperately it is THAT GOOD!! The sound totally molds the aura of the visual artistic vision and makes it whole, major props given here. The 2 episodes I have seen are quite vivid and the transfers are excellent.

- I took off a star mainly because the dialogue is a bit too stilted. I realize this is from '75 but even still the speech patterns seem to be caught in a slow motion where every word is annuciated almost painfully. The voice for Urko doesn't really fit the character, it sounds more like Fred Flinstone from the Fruity Pebble commercials. I suppose the only other drawback is the lack of any sort of "extras". No history of the show, no nothing!

In closing; just looking at the wonderful box art, disc art, and price tag is practically reason enough to own this, let alone the artistic value I feel this brought to the franchise, sadly, like the live action TV show it ended far too soon. I did not watch this show as a child and have no memories of it and I wish I could say the same for the Tim Burton disaster of 2002.
