This was one of my favorites when I was a kid. In retrospect there are a couple of things that kind of detract from the show. The way the apes referred to the people as humanoids instead of humans like in the movies was one. The only other complaint is that the animation was a little slow. However, the art, especially the backgrounds, were fantastic. The stories were very good as well. I think that the music was underrated as well. It was very effective in establishing an eerie mood to the show. I wish that this show would have at least made it to a second season. I would have liked to see where the writers were going. Its a shame that cartoons weren't as well regarded as they are today. I would have also like to have seen special features with this DVD.

Doug Wildey, creator of Hanna Barberra's JONY QUEST, returns to animated series television with this undiscovered jewel! His take on POTA has the simians driving cars (instead of riding horseback like in the films)flying airplanes,and broadcasting tv! All your favorite characters are back, rendered in the distinctive Wildley style, in stories that take the themes from the films and develope them into kid-friendly Saturday morning fare that is just as entertaining for the grown-ups. A must have for all POTA FANS!

In its time this was one of the most intelligent cartoons on television. Had heroic characters, exciting story lines and fantastic plots, with no cutesy side kicks or foolish stories. It didn't stay true to the books or movies, but instead created its own story arc, which was superior to the live action show that came out later. I've always been sorry they never went a second season with this.

Well the animation in this movie is dated. No super CGI effects or flashy catchy effects. But the animation has one thing that most cartoons today lack. that being true artwork. The show is done in beautiful watercolors that make the show worth watching. Similar to journey to the center of the Eart or Fantastic Voyage (CMDF) the animation is wholesome and smooth.
The plot developes with each episode. Unlike cartoons of the eighties, which were single episodes that did not build on each other, this show does. It is similar to B-5 in the way each episode builds and influences each other.
The writting is not dumbed down and all in all this is a good show fit for both adults and kids. If you are a fan of the planet of the apes franchise, well you will not be disapointed.

As a child i was into all things Ape, watched the movies every Friday night when aired on c.b.s., bought all the toys (oh what they would be worth now!!!!!), the comics, and even the horrible t.v. series, so when n.b.c. ran this on Saturday mornings i was thrilled. Now i show this to my boys and even with the bad animation they love it. Some stories are pure 70's kids hokem, but some are quite good and the fun and magic of this long lost show is still there.
