- First episode of the animated sequel of Planet of the Apes, in which human astronauts crash land on The Planet of the Apes, then
(spoilers)
are captured by the apes, then escape.
I remember watching this as a kid.
Less than a minute in and there's dead people upside down on crucifixes. Man the 70s were a great time.
Woke as hell! Look at the crew! Ahead of its time!
Yup it was dark back then
@@buckshot_V But there is a scene in this video that is very disrespectful to Women in general. At 10:49 to 10:54,..Look at how that Man is picking up that Woman. It's degrading, humiliating,and very disrespectful.
@@stephenlangsl67 ???? I'm assuming you're being sarcastic.

I agree, that doesn't seem right somehow. I would have grabbed and pulled her by the hair.
they drew all the cavemen as old and ugly. but the cave girls all smooth and supermodelish. LoL
the music for these classic animated shows are next level
Same musical director as Johnny Quest and Fantastic Four. All super elevated scores.
Couldn't have said it better man.
The Ghost of the Legendary RIP MetalFace Doom would agree.
As a person who studied music composition, I can corroborate that.
@@Power-9Hunnid sounds like something he would sample.
Man they made this for the low. You can tell. Cells where only lips and eyes move, camera sweeps of still scenes, etc. They pulled out all the stops to save a dollar, and yet it's still very stylized and trippy. I like it.
For the low? No, just by hand at 45 frames per second.
Wade man,I think the acid is starting to hit
Upside down crucifixion. What a way to start a Saturday morning cartoon show. Slow moving and dark as hell, this was the last era of Saturday morning cartoons.
I bought the series on DVD from Amazon a few years ago. My friends and I had a blast watching it. The second half of the season is wonderfully bonkers. There's secret cults , giant apes and flying serpents! I remember watching as a kid and it still holds up to me.
I too bought it a few years ago on Amazon....still haven't watched it....I spent almost the entire 70s stationed overseas in the Air Force. By the time I returned to the states, I was married with a kid on the way and no time for cartoons....now I'm retired and have plenty of time....I have a lot of catching up to do and I'll get to it soon. :)
Brings back memories from the 1976 era when I watched this program every Sat morning from the
"Planet of the Apes" series when I was eleven-years old. From Charlton Heston to this cartoon series.
Along with Shazam and Scooby-Doo as well as the
Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids!
I love that stuff too
This cartoon intro was scary as hell, I remember watching it as a kid and it scared the crap out of me, damn!!!!
Yes! Havent seen this since 'way back when' - and I immediately remembered how scared the intro made me, too, lol.
Yes I agree. If your memory serves you correctly as a child. Then go back to the first movie that started it all. The Planet of the Apes and other Planet of the Apes movies to follow, from the animated series to the TV series of Planet of the Apes. And the other Planet of the Apes movie franchises to follow. I think actor Roddy McDowell starred in the Planet of the Apes movies and the TV animated series and the TV series also.
Lol.
I remembered watching the cartoon when I was a kid and I had the chills again watching the intro.
Me too… scared the living crap out of me as a kid.
Damn I miss those days life was so simple and cartoons where basic but fun, and so entertaining.
This actually sticks closer to the original source material about the apes being from a more futuristic and tech savvy future than the one depicted in the first Film.
I love the “Danger Meter” at 2:11. 😂🤣😂🤣
Ha! It is pretty impressive.
Just to the right of that is the "Danger, Will Robinson" meter!
Man, cartoons were ROUGH in the 70s, they have CRUCIFIED APES right in the opening title!! Sheesh!
Hell yeah they were. You won’t see that on paw patrol.
Stole my thunder crucified upside down 🔻 just like St.Peter 🙏
@@oaf-77 Lol.
We weren't pansies.
Not as rough as their animation!
Their spacecraft looks like a Mercury capsule! And I see they have the Mod Squad on board!
Hey, Astronaut Bill, "eight months and five weeks" is actually more than nine months.
It would not surprise me if that was done on purpose to mess around and make fun of this.
Only according to your silly HUMAN calendar. ;)
I remember why I stopped watching this now. I aged out waiting for that walk to finish. Man, that ate some time.
Not just the walk. This entire episode could have been silent! Wait!!!.... did the two guys grow beard stubble out of nowhere?????
They had to make good use of all those painted backdrops somehow!
Doug Wildey art is so mesmerizing. And the musical score really is great.
This would be dope if cartoon network adult swim would air this.
They did for a short bit a couple of years ago.
Great stuff. My dad even watched this when we we re kids. POTA was huge back in the 70s
I remember watching this on The Sci-Fi Channel! Those early days were great when they were replaying all the classic science fiction stuff they could get.
love the classic animations
I forgot Alan Reed was a voice actor here. It is most odd hearing Fred Flintstone calling for human blood!
😂😂😂
Not Alan Reed… its Henry Corden
Dad told me "Hell boy you'd be better off watching that Crazy Coyote trying catch that Roadrunner than tis crap!🙄 He was right! 🤣😂
So good. Much better than today's cartoons
100 times better.
Wa_yyy better
I still have the novelized paperback of this show.
Wow ... my grandpa told me about this cartoon, I honestly thought he was making it up after all these years.
Don't think nobody caught your snark! However, from a grandfather, that was actually pretty funny.😁
Having themed Cartoons and lunchboxes in the 70’s & 80’s, was the ultimate sign of success, for movies and entertainers.
yes I do so agree wholeheartedly!
It's been a while since I've seen this, but I think that's Alan Reed voicing General Urko. For those that don't know, he was the voice of Fred on "The Flintstones",and one performer whose real voice sounded like the characters he was doing. Check out the live action T.V. show from '74: a real blast from the past!
It's not Alan Reed as Urko it's Henry Cordon who replaced Alan as the voice of Fred Flintstone after Reed's death in 1977
@@Edgeofnight80s You are absolutely right, and I posted that info as soon as I saw the credits. Many thanks for responding, and stay safe!
I have the live action show on DVD
Hannah barbera was #1 for Saturday mornings 💯
Well! Planet of The Apes is now owned by Disney. I am just wondering why none of this stuff is available on Disney Plus?
Because there are liberal humanoids in Disney!
That intro is like a nightmarish "Barnaby Jones", or another Quinn Martin production...
a wahman, a black dude and a white male... and that was in 1975...
According to WikiLeaks; the black dude is a dedicated environmentalist, the white male is gay and the chick is the great granddaughter of Gloria Steinem who continues to promote her grandmother's mission to abolish _'gender-divide.'_
Wouldn't it be wiser to find shade and rest during the day, travel at night when it's cooler?
On the contrary, unless moon is out, your chances of trip over and injure your foot or ankle is high. Injury like that will only compound your chances of survival in the desert.
Your over thinking it man! Lol
Assuming you know the geography then yes. Otherwise it's unwise to get more lost in the dark.
But you need the sunlight to see where you're going.
@@lamarravery4094 your options change when you are out of water. You are on a time clock till you die of dehydration. None of it is ideal.
Cool show wish you had the whole season
70% exhibition
20% wonky music
10% dialog
Man Disney Animation should revamped this classic series for the 2020's and beyond!
At 18:26 the general says the "humanoids" are "sitting ducks". If apes have evolved to such heights in this time, what the hell have ducks evolved to? Why do they sit?
“How fleeting are all human passions compared with the massive continuity of ducks.”
In the original novel apes are basically stuck developmentally. Theyre basically doing monkey see monkey do. Their ancestors were around humans in labs and such which is why they act human and experiment on humans. Humans experimented on them. So having human cliches in their speech is a given.
@@howlermouse The writers used that same cliche multiple times in the run of this show. I was a making a joke, don't overthink it, friend.
Because no matter how many mutated animals that become bipedal, or no matter how many aliens come to earth or earthlings to go visit them, the stories are still told by humans.
So all these different forms of life, will still use concepts that the current humans know about and think about.
Eg, even in original Star Trek, advanced technology of over several hundred years, people were still using analog tapes and floppy discs. And once the CD came out, TV shows and movies used a smaller CD to make it seem higher tech.
And finally, now that there are flash drives, people use a small flash drive, stick it in a computer, and suddenly that computer can do all sorts of things or that flash drive can store all the data from the computer, and it takes about 1 minute or two to get the data while the bad guys are banging on the door to get in.
Another example I like to use is, Green Lantern's constructs that he makes. He's a man who has seen countless alien worlds and met countless alien beings, and the stuff he makes to help him fight are still just things like earthling weapons and stuff.
So these stories are still just limited by man's imagination.
@@pershop4950 Lazy writing is also a factor.
Sadly great shows like this go over the head of today's generation.
Never heard about this Planet of the Apes animated series. I do remember the live action TV show. My brother collected the action figures.
DePatie-Freleng's previous gig was the silly but stylish Pink Panther cartoons. This is two steps above! It has Doug Wildey (ex-"Jonny Quest") written all over it!
Yes. I said the same thing. Jhonny Quest like animation and story delivery.
Well, it was a major step up in DePatie-Freleng's prior attempt (some years before) in action-adventure (c/r "Super President").
Neat! I didn't watch this show in it's premiere or rerun pattern. The material is mature in regards to it's demographic understanding of historical context. It's a nice mashup of the live action films. It give me Johnny Quest vibes and i like it.
One of the major reasons it has the Jonny Quest vibes is that Doug Wildey, who developed Jonny Quest, was part of the creative team of this show. That's what made it so cool.
@@MrMarksdaddy Thank you for the information. I didn't know of Doug Wildey's large body of work both in printed and the animated medium. It was a wonderful rabbit hole to investigate. Cheers.
FUN FACT: @ 3:25 Ape's voice is the same as Fred Flintstone. The voice actor was Henry Corden.
👍🏾
I guess I missed the credulity straining "crew of three on a long term mission in a Mercury capsule" when I was a kid.
Mercury was only a two man capsule.
this cartoon was pretty mature for its time.
Better treat our fellow primates better. No one holds the whip hand forever.
For a split second I thought they were talking about a road trip to Chicago.
The needle jumped into the danger zone, I love 70’s cartoons.
They included crucified apes in the intro? 😮
Scarecrows.
This came on at around 11am or 12pm eastern time....late for cartoons I'd already comeback from drum lessons...I was about 9. Those were the days,house was all cleaned up
The blond headed guy looks like the guy from Johnny Quest.
Fun fact: Henry Corden voiced General Urko. Corden also voiced Fred Flintstone.
Sometimes I just gotta watch some old time animation. These are very amusing and the voice acting very entertaining.
I'm just waiting for General Erko ( ? ) to let out with a BIG .....
YYYYAAAAABBB AA DDDDAAAAABBBBB DDDDOOOOO ! ! ! ! ! !
Sorry you- tubers...I typed my comment before the final credits. It was Henry Corden, the performer who took over voicing Fred when Alan Reed passed, who voiced Urko.
It's been many years ago when I watched this series ad a kid back in the ' 70s
I remember watching Scooby Doo …. Hahaha
Are there anymore of these?
Wow... Never knew these existed.
I loved this cartoon. I also loved the Apes movies then.
The General just misses Bedrock.
good introduction
That fire that burnt thier survival packs was pretty wacky...
Wow just wow have not seen this since the 70s ty ty ty
One of the astronauts is a dead ringer for Race Bannon (Johnny Quest)
This is the first time I'm seeing this cartoon, which surprises me somewhat. I've seen some obscure old cartoons, but not this one.
Urko sounds like Fred Flintstone....not Alan Reed but Henry Corden, known as not-Fred.
wow.. if this were any slower..
I completely forgot about the animated version of planet of the apes.
How many of you remember the original theather movies Planet of the Apes. Box Office sucess;there where there about 2 or 3 sequels. Don't remember this at all, became an adult. Só much for Peter Pan. Nice to remanist.
Good old Saturday morning cartoons. Is Scooby-Doo next? 😎
Nope the Superfriends
The wildest cartoon intro, ever.
I do not remember this at all, however I do remember that I had the Planet Of The Apes tin lunch box as a kid; I wish I still had that
I honestly never knew they made a cartoon for this. Thank you
There was also a Star Trek cartoon that was very good
Hilarious there are people concerned about crucified apes in this era of "Invincible."
What's most unfair though...is that you guys posted 📫 only the first episode here and not the entire series including episode 1.
I have all these episodes on DVD now and i remember watching during the 1970's [i think 1974] and for Hanna-Barbera i thought well drawn as i am expecting "Flintstones" like animation. And the stories were better than the series too! Peace
Yeah, i remember this, not fully animated just eyes, mouth & arms movement at that time. I think i hear a fred flintstone voice. lol
Feeling crazy!! NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE!!! Every movie , hell I was born in 72 , never seen!
Wait, that first ape really sounded like Fred Flintstone…
It might of been the same voice actor.
@@dmichael1172 yea, that's what I was implying. 🙂👍
It was the second guy who voiced Fred, Henry Corden.
So...I was about to look for this on d.v.d. or whatever...then I watched it. Never mind. Was this made with a ten or twelve dollar budget?
Cartoons of the old (1970s) days. Stiff animation, but stories were better than whats out now.
1970s was the Dark Ages of American animation. Networks told them, "Make it cheaper! Cheaper!!" That went out the window when ratings plumetted and they had to try live action; Shazam, Space Academy, etc. The only ones making live-action that looked expensive were the Krofft brothers.
How is it I've never heard about this
the backgrounds and characters look pretty good, but it's barely animated... so, is it still considered 'animation' or a storybook?
Chuck McCann called it "illustrated radio." Which is a bit of a slap in the face to Old Time Radio, which moved at 10x this speed!
Years before my time but this this looks OD !
SO great; just, so f'ing GREAT!
Thank you so much for organizing/ posting whatever led to here😬.
He speaks for us all!
I loved this. Man ...1 season?
Man when I was little I love watching old cartoons
Nice 👍👍👍
Cartoons of the 1970's were bad but some of them were enjoyable this was interesting to see how bad it could be.
Return to the Planet of the Apes had good ideas but was executed badly I wish they would reboot this cartoon and start off with the Icarus mission from the recent movies.
I don't remember this classic but I wish I could see when I was young!!!!
I wanna say I've seen this before , but in an obscure way . If that makes sense .
It's better than the movies. I just wish they had made at least 3 seasons of episodes.
I remember watching this on Saturday mornings. Classic stuff man great memories
I wonder how much Ted Knight got paid for saying, "Return to the Planet of the Apes"? He was already a big TV star at this time, so I assume he must have got paid pretty good for 5 seconds of work.
A lot better than the cartoons nowadays
It's always good to see hand drawn animation even if it is corny.
It was designed that way
no ...it is the best..I hate anime
This content is WAY too intense for a cartoon from the 70s! 2021 on the other hand . . . .
What are you talking about? Many cartoons in the 70s were like this or silly.
@@charleshodgdon6168 Yeah? Can you be more specific? And I'm not referring to anime like "Battle of the Planets/Gatchaman", or "Starblazers/Battleship Yamato" . . . .
A motion comic more than animation? but I’m not mad at it, the line work looks good
If only the budget had been a little higher, they might have been able to afford the animation cells to walk away from those slowly moving disasters.
I like the evil fire destroying their survival packs.
when cartoons were funny, scary and awesome, and didn't treat lids like morons or tried to indoctrinate them. good times.
wow, that was...riveting. my 10 year old self would have...fallen asleep? seriously though, i didn't know this was a thing and i see from the comments that others really enjoyed it and remember it. of this genre i watched batman and isis and tarzan and maybe a couple others. crazy stuff. thanks for sharing!
they dragged on the desert trek toooo long
What a strange tone.
I have never seen this before so it may not have been released in the UK this was a very adult styled cartoon.
same with me
We're already there in 2021.
