To have a channel like this is a dream come true for the 62 year old child in me lol I love reliving these moments in my life, thanks Dan, you're the best!!
62 here too. Saw the original at the drive in. Awestruck is a understatement🤯
63 here! I love this channel. I binge watched everything when I found it
63 too, I'm with ya. Thanks Dan!
62 as well. Have all the Planet Of The Apes animated, live series and movies on disc.
64 here, I love this stuff. Back when entertainment was better.
It always seemed that these Saturday morning shows lasted a lot longer than they did. But when you're 5-10 time is definitely different from 40-50 years old. 😂
When we were kids, watching a series of a dozen episodes over and over wasn't a problem. 😊
True Hong Kong Fooey Hanna Barbara was 1970s but in production, only ran 18mo or so. 1974-1976. I thought it ran 5-6 seasons. 📺
I think all the NASA recovery crew should wear ape suits when the next astronauts come back :)
I remember watching this when it first aired and thinking the animation reminded me of Marvel Superheroes' style. Not a whole lot of action but enough camera tricks and moving mouths to give it life. Your commentary on that aspect of the series sort of backs that up. It was like the Marvel show, just given an artistic upgrade via Doug Wildey.
Johnny Quest was one of my favorites as well.
i am just loving everything you are doing. you are bring back so many memories of show and movies that i loved as a young kid. now i did not get to see all of them but i and able to now. again thank you. big lion hugs. until we meet again, i just can wait.
This is quickly becoming my favorite channel. I remember watching this series on Saturday morning. My clearest memory was laughing at an ape driving in a pickup truck listening to a song on the radio with the lyrics, "I'm going humanoid over you".
I have that same memory!
I was older than the average kid. I was 16 in 1975. I remember the show well. The animation was sub-par because this was during the Dark Ages of American Animation that started were Warner Brothers closed Termite Terrace, their animation studio as a cost-cutting measure. I think this was due to Hanna-Barbera's dominating the market with their cheaper animation.
The Apes didn't have airplanes of their own. In fact, the airplane they had, a WWII vintage P-40 Warhawk was found by Ape Archeologists and restored to flying condition with the purpose of capturing humans with a cargo net slung under the plane. I know because this was my favorite episode.
I love your work. You are a road map for my childhood and dreams. Please keep up the good work. Can't wait for Johnny Quest!!!!!
I loved the ape's franchise, and i remember this cartoon being shown very irregularly on uk TV,btw i did read that the reason that the gorillas had jeeps and trucks was that they were easier to animate than horse's
So glad I found you Dan. Love your enthusiasm and knowledge regarding my favourite shows as a kid. You’re a true gentleman 👍🏻
Man I loved that Planet of the Apes cartoon. So psychedlic it reminded me of Bakshi.
I was just barely 10 years old when the cartoon series aired, but because I was already I dedicated PotA fan, I was thrilled, and never missed an episode! Thank you for the retrospective.
Wow! I had that exact same comic book that you show on 1:55. I had a few POTA comic books that I treasured but my sister thru them out. I remember watching this animated series in the '70s. I don't remember a lot of it tho. I remember the 3 humans walking thru a dessert. I remember an ape driving a truck and a song playing over his radio with the lyrics, 'I'm going humanoid over you'.
Johnny Quest coming soon..... how cool is that?????
Does anyone remember the comic book seriesKamandi: The Last Boy on Earth which was a direct inspiration (or ripoff depending on your perspective) of the Planet of the Apes. The difference was that in addition to apes many other species also had their own territories and fought among themselves. The main character as a young boy was clearly meant to appeal to the comic book audience of which I was one who loved both Planet and this series in tandem.
The volume with the killer germ trapped in the tube was my favorite.
60 now, used to love watching this as a kid Saturday mornings. On a black and white TV.
Its a rare thing anyone talks about this great ape cartoon, I love it.
Hey Dan, speaking of Roddy McDowell, how about a deep-dive into "Tales of the Gold Monkey"? (Ooh, a simian reference, too!)
Is the Tarzan 70s Saturday morning cartoon topical? It was pretty good, but not many episodes and they kept reusing cels. But well-drawn and a few good scripts, iirc.
"Unk! Tantor!" -- Tarzan
Yeah I still remember in watching that series when I was a young Kid during the 70s Too Man!😉☮️
Great video review! HUGE Return fan! I love that cartoon. I remember watching it back in 75 when I was just in the 1st grade. I remember in the 90's when the Sci-Fi channel re-aired the series on Sunday mornings. That was the first time I had watched the show since childhood. Then in 2006 I got the dvd set. Just love it. Watched it a dozen times over, plus 2. ;) Like I said, a huge fan. I make my own custom Mego Apes based on the cartoon. When I start my youtube channel, I will spotlight them and a playset I'm building. Great channel and keep up the good work.
Suggestion: Men into Space(1959) TV series
What happened to the animated “Return to the Planet of the Apes?” It ended up in my DVD collection.
I still remember the upside-down crosses at the beginning of each episode.
I was worried about you. You are always so prompt. Glad to see this in my phone just now. I was having Triple M withdrawal LOL
Haha :-) yeah, I have two parents that are both 94 years old. Been dealing with a lot of family stuff. It's all good :-)
@@MoviesMusicMonsters Glad to hear you're ok. Been there. Cherish your parents every day. Meanwhile, already salivating for a juicy Triple M Saturday! Let's keep having our conversation on movies, music and monsters
Loved the cartoon as a kid. bought the dvd on Amazon
I hope the next video is about the animated Star Trek series!!!
1975. I was 8, I loved this cartoon.
You should cover the cancelled Planet of the Apes movies. Especially the Oliver Stone one starring Arnold Schwarzenegger sounded bonkers!
That would have been WILD haha .
It didnt stop having merchandise in the 70s. Adventure Comics had a whole bunch of mini series and a full series from the late 80s into the mid 90s. They even crossed over with Alien Nation.
Dan Monroe makes these episodes as if he dove into my brain and based them solely on everything I love. Thank you sir!
Hey, well said👍👍👍
Here here!
This is the first video from your channel I watched and i was pleasantly surprised. You have great audio quality and cadence to your voice, and you bring a great detail and history to your monologue. Good stuff, subscribed.
this show is amazing
the story was well written and layered
"Ooosa Ooosa"
I saw one episode while on vacation as a 5-year old kid (it didn't play in my rural area) and for years thought I'd dreamed it until I discovered the show years late.
I was not a fan of this show when I was a kid, but am really interested in checking it out again as an adult. Thank you again for the videos!
Another blast from the past!Thanks for this documentary about this classic cartoon!!!
Dan, you just keep hitting them out of the park brother. Kudos tot eh intro animations.
I liked this cartoon when I was a child. Many of my friends did not but I think you explained perfectly the reason why. The stilted, limited animation style was sort of a let down to some but I enjoyed that lushness it had the same as I enjoyed those classic Jonny Quest cartoons that now I know have a connection due to the great Doug Wildey. I haven't seen them in a long time but just like you do everything else you instill in me the desire to seek them out. I can't wait to hear your take on the legendary Jonny Quest cartoon. Thank you
Hey Dan can you investigate The Night Gallery series???
I was 12 when this came out and I wasn’t interested in it then. Like now, I had a problem with the timeline that Charlton Heston doomed us to with blowing up the planet.
They could have tried explaining that only the New York area was blown to bits and not the entire planet, allowing for more stories, just not any of the same apes or characters… but that probably was over anyone’s head.
Watching the show many years later, I hated the idea of the apes using vehicles and airplanes. These were the workings of humans which the apes considered beneath them. Ape city had virtually no technology in the first movie, why would they now not only have it, but embrace it?
I’m glad this cartoon only had the one season, it would have ruined the movies.
Thanks Dan ,always love your content ,,these were great times when we were kids ,wish could go back to then.
Well done and I can’t wait for Johnny Quest😊!!!
The topic about Guns? ... Ok, but, weren't GUNS used a lot in Johnny Quest?
I was finishing high school in 1975, and never saw this one. 🙄
Funny how they crammed three astronauts into a glorified Mercury capsule. 😅
and a female astronaut to boot! so progressive for the time!! :)
Another awesome and informative video on a memorable childhood TV show..Happy times
One of the most enjoyable, UA-cam channels out there always glad to see when a new video drops
So, the first cartoon episode finds Nova, wearing Brent's dog tags, and she sheds a tear when asked where Brent is. And she speaks, without guttural grunting. So, that puts the show AFTER Taylor and Brent, but somehow BEFORE Taylor blows everything up... And, the ship said "NASA", with a variation of the NASA "meatball"...
My head hurts now... ;-P
Johnny Question has one of the best theme songs!!!
Good lord, Predictive text! Johnny Quest! Not question! Sheesh!
As a 1970's kid, this was my first contact with the Apes franchise. Then I discovered the Live Action show and last the movies. I really liked the TV show better.
Funny thing is that the apes had jeeps in the animated show while they only had horses in the live action. I guess animating a Jeep is cheaper than a horse, eh?
Oh yeah...A motor vehicle needs only one cel for the body and two or three for the rotating wheels; a horse can get away with one cel for the body, but needs a whole series for the head, neck and legs...and they're a lot more work than a blurry wheel.
It also took more of the book approach as the apes have technology in it.
Absolutely loved this cartoon when I was in 5th grade.
No matter what we think of it as adults, we love that as kids :-)
FYI, the DePatie - Freleng Company is the same production company that gave us the, iconic, Pink Panther Show in the late 60's/early 70's.
I loved Johnny Quest. It was awesome!
I still watch Quest lol.
I just watched it and the finale felt like a penultimate episode and I wish there was one more episode.
I loved the cartoon! I still have memories of the apes driving the army trucks and over their radio is a song, "I'm going Humanoid over you!" It was a country western song.
DFE was well known for using distinct art style to help cover over their lowest of the low budget animation. It was the 70's and animation budgets had cratered. They are most famous for The Pink Panther Cartoons.
In the 1980's they would become Marvel Productions. And give us such classics as Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends, GI Joe a Real American Hero and of course Transformers.
Thank you so much
These are such a great pleasure to watch!
It’s like finding the newest issue of famous monsters of filmland!
Thanks so much :-) I'm actually doing a video on famous monsters very soon, stay tuned
I’m so glad they’re on UA-cam. I know what I’m doing this weekend.
I seem to remember the show being on earlier. I was 7 and was on a kids bowling league that I had to go to immediately after it was over. I probably would have dropped out if I had to miss it! I actually enjoy the animation
Your videos are always such a joy to watch, I love them.
I do have a suggestion for a future video, if you are so inclined.
What ever happened to the Doomsday Machine prop from Star Trek TOS?
We know where most of the original series props are today, but some of them seem to have been lost to time, and this is one that I've always wondered about.
To my knowledge, it was never produced as a model kit either.
Great video!!, I got the DVD and just last week I was revisiting the series… so cool, the “animation” is very static, but I agree, I gives the series a particular look!
I can remember watching this on the the cartoon preview they would do on Friday night before the new cattoon season would start , Michal Landon was the host . Have this on DVD
I would've been 9 when this was on TV, and probably watched it, but don't really remember it. But Johnny Quest ? Now THAT was a fantastic cartoon, one of the best of the era, can't wait for your episode on that one !!!
I was 13, and I just don't remember it. but yeah Johnny Quest. loved that show.
Just finished watching the series yesterday and watched this episode today...how cool is that....😊 glad you mentioned Doug Wildey....I remember him as the artist on the Marvel Westerns in the 70s....The Outlaw Kid and some Ringo Kid and covers on other westerns and titles...thanks for a great episode and sort of a tribute to Doug Wildey....one of the great artists of yesteryear.
Hey Dan, LOVE the channel 🙌
Just wondering.....whatever happened to the maintenance droids from Silent Running? 🤔
Ooooh, great question! Loved that movie!
Great episode, Dan !
DePatie Freleng (pronounced Dee Patty Free Ling) were the geniuses behind classic cartoons like Pink Panther, Inspector Clouseau, The Ant and the Aardvark, and other greats. They traditionally had a relatively high-quality animation on those characters.... But Doug Wildey's art style was so detailed that they couldn't adapt it to fully rendered animation, so they utilized "Limited Animation " which utilized individual elements being animated against a static background of character plate. Usually, mouths, eyes, one arm, and usually a walk cycle for each character that would use the same 12 to 24 frames and loop them for walking lasting several seconds.
Limited animation gradually took over classical television animation by the early 80s until studios started farming out animation to Japanese animation studios.
The style of animation reminds me of the Filmation works like Star Trek the Animated Series. A lot of eyes, mouths, and arms moving as well as reused cells from episode to episode, especially in running scenes or attack scenes.
Thanks, Dan! I was aware of the 'animated series' but never saw it. Maybe I should!
I absolutely love this channel Dan and your voice is absolutely incredible. Keep up the great work looking forward to whatever you post. Your fan, Mike
I remember watching the show in 1975, and I remember years ago HULU had this. It's sad that the live action and animated series weren't as successful.
I agree, I'd rush my parents home on Friday night so I wouldn't miss them!
God I haven't seen that since it was originally shown on Saturday mornings
When I was a wee lad
The marvel comic was great they had some good storylines and great artwork
Love Jonny quest looking forward to your video on that classic
I remember this series fondly. That was an amazing dive! Thank you!
Hard to cover in under14 minutes, but what you did cover was excellent. I agree, the primary flaw in the series was stuff like “the Apa Lisa”.
Still sing "I'm going humanold over you" from time to time
Just got home,,, and another great video about one of my favorite childhood memories. I loved all things ape.
The cartoon more closely related to my sense of the cinematography and ideas of the movies more than the TV show did. It just seemed like an extension of the movie franchises than the sappy , melodramatic TV show did. Even though I ❤ the TV show. 😂🐵🐒🙊🙈🙉
I've never seen this cartoon. But I still want a sequel to the Tim Burton Apes movie. I want to know what happened after the Ape Lincoln memorial scene!
So do I! 😊
I don't see how they would make a sequel to Tim Burton Apes movie at this point while I enjoyed the remake but I love the reboot movies more, since they already have been doing with Andy Serkis as Caesar and now the 4th one about his descendant along with a girl human he helps and set 300 years later which I can't wait. I mean yes I would've liked know what happened next in Tim Burton's Apes universe. I'm actually binging all the Planet of the Apes movies both the classics and the reboots plus the remake to get ready for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. 😊
Oh man did I love that show as a kid, love your show it brings back my childhood.
Can you possibly consider doing a Speed Racer story? The cartoon will always be a cult classic!
I never thought of that but absolutely I will look that one up for you :-)
@@MoviesMusicMonsters thank you !!
Love this cartoon have it on dvd like little movies still a great watch...
I caught on the El Rey Network when that channel was around. It found the series to be more in line of a motion comic, given the limited animation. It was rather jarring whenever smooth, fluid animation was used
I believe the company is pronounced Dee-Pay-Tee Free-Ling. I was 7 and loved the show and was bummed it ended so soon. same with the live action show
I remember they also had a POTA coloring book.
There was a couple of them! I wish I had them back lol.
I loved it I never missed it and even watched it and reruns and I have them on DVD
I'm excited to see the Jonny Quest video you mentioned.
Dan I also made a little cardboard B9 Robot, you can have that one for FREE
.
It's a sad my relative General Claire L Chennault of the Flying Tigers didn't get a chance to see the P-40 in this cartoon but I did
🐅
As a six-year-old Apes Kid in 1975, I was SO pumped for the new Saturday morning show. And then I started watching it; I was *so* bored halfway through the first episode; I desperately wanted to go outside and play but I felt that would somehow be betraying my Apes bona fides. And once I saw the apes driving jeeps and using telephones, Cornelius and Zira in the same timeline as Urko, “Nova” and “Brent” interacting with the new astronauts…even as a six-year-old I knew it was a piece of garbage. I appreciate it more today (and today we could easily excuse it as being an “alternate timeline”), but when you annoy and alienate a six-year-old primed and ready to go on this show, you know you’ve completely missed the mark.
I was 8 yrs old , and DITTO!
I agree I excitedly tuned in that morning in 1975 and was utterly bored beyond words. Even watched again a few years ago and it had not improved. I Was spoiled at the time by reading the very exciting marvel magazines planet of the apes comics.
Oh boy, an animated intro to a article about an animated show! *WOW!*
Simple, clear, direct, amazing and well done vids…they are great!!
Best Channel on UA-cam !!
HEY DAN, As i recall Johnny Quest had minimal motion animation like some anime shows as did Clutch Cargo and Space Angel.
Id like to see a feature on movies like Enemy Mine and Robinson Cruesoe on Mars sometime soon.
I was (and still am) a total Return to the Planet of the Apes superfan!
I think I have to declare this my favorite channel. Long live Movies, Music & Monsters!!! (Edit: Jonny Quest!!!!!)
Even if Doug Wilding had watched Escape/Conquest/Battle, I don't see how he would have drawn from them for this cartoon. The attraction for us kids was APES! Talking apes! Gun-toting apes! I can't imagine that they'd want to have the cartoon go back to the 1970s, where Cornelius and Zira were the only apes on the show. They had enough trouble holding their interest as it was.
PS - Great review, thanks!
It was better than everyone thought. Especially the episode about "Oozah."
I agree :-)
I think those studio executives would have changed their minds if Dan Monroe was around to talk at them. Kinda the 'Bill Brasky', defender of popular culture. Thanks, Dan.
I loved this show as a kid!! Loved the comic books as well! I'm still a science fiction/comic book nerd❤❤❤❤
I do love your reviews. You dig into details, but you never sink anything.
6:26 Where are all the guns - he says, while showing an image of a huge gun.
The books contain a date with Judy which should have been episode 14
Although I preferred the live-action tv series, the animated series did have surprisingly mature scripts which compensated for the "limited" animation. There was that steadfast story arc which one would never expect in a Saturday morning cartoon (except for Land of the Lost). As for the ending, I never regarded it as a cliff-hanger but just a note of uncertainty upon how the Ape populace would react to the truth about their planet's history upon seeing "A Day at the Zoo". The fact that this series ended on such a note only made it stand it for me even more. It was a good effort although watered down a bit because no violence was allowed but still a conscious attempt to tell a decent sf story.
