Quite a package for the lawful “Apes” fan. For those fans, like me, who have already purchased these films and the live-action series, I hope Fox will set aside out a separate space of fair the appealing series. I have been waiting a long time for that.
Any meditation on early 1970’s child pop culture would be incomplete without Planet Of The Apes.
It was among the mix with Star Go, Space:1999, Six Million Dollar Man, Monster and Godzilla movies for those kids that had a taste for Sci-Fi.
The toys, mainly the action figures and playsets by Mego were on Birthday and Christmas lists (and you could have the Star Crawl figures hang out with them because they were made by Mego too) . The movies were kid “events” when they came to TV.
Of course, as you collect older, you open to ogle the subtle (and not so subtle) socio-political comment in the Ape movies and you relish the movies (and shows) in ways beyond entertainment and nostalgia.
The Planet Of The Apes Phenomena fizzled in the middle 70’s to ultimately be buried by Star Wars. Detached, they stand as solid examples of 1970’s movie and TV Science Fiction, are loved by a accurate group of fans and have a rock solid location in pop culture.
The history of Apes on Video goes true befriend to the beginning of it. Planet Of The Apes was among the first prerecorded videos released by Magnetic Video who contracted with 20′th Century Fox in 1978.
Throughout the years, Apes movies have seen releases on video, laserdisc and finally DVD.
When the first DVD’s came out a few years ago, they were among the last to not be save on DVD in anamorphic widescreen. Instead, they were letterboxed widescreen which didn’t allow righteous viewing on 16:9 TV’s.
At the time, that was objective aesthetic for me since I had a hurry of the mill 4:3 TV. Now I have a 4:3 TV with anamorphic squeeze and the non anamorphic Apes stuck out like sore thumbs with less line resolution then what I became passe to.
Now comes the Ultimate DVD collection with all films anamophically remastered and putting together most all the stuff released about POTA before on DVD and adding (for the first time) the titillating demonstrate.
Planet Of The Apes gets the best treatment with a whole extra disc with the comprehensive AMC documentary Late The Planet Of The Apes and other material. The movie and bonus disc is identical to the special edition released before.
The first movie, adapted by Rod Serling from the new “Monkey World”, in retrospect plays like the most account for “Twilight Zone” episode ever. With the horrid twist that time has somewhat blunted but is no less clever, Serling effortless weaves social comment into the improbable happenings.
The Ape makeup at the time was revolutionary and it all was in a Simian city with uniquely different production produce.
One humorous thing about this movie (as well as many of the Apes movies that follow) is that while most these days would peg it at a hard PG or PG-13, the first three Ape movies were rated G.
This, despite the fact that in the first movie, there is a lot of violence and some male nudity. The second and third movie had their fraction of violent and scary happenings too.
I can only achieve that the map the MPAA was at the time that they considered Talking Apes attacking humans to be too wonderful to be taken seriously and declared it “fantasy violence”. Also they must of figured the Male nudity did not matter because it was non sensual.
Next up is Beneath The Planet Of The Apes. Some maintain this sequel in vulgar regard but I have always liked it. The images of paralyzed mutants, the scenes of post atomic NYC, with buildings that looked like ransacked jigsaw puzzles and the grim ending always stuck to me.
What I do recognize now is the heavy utilize of pullover ape masks in crowd scenes. I don’t know why they decided to have pullover ape masks all have a leisurely jawed, gaped mouth leer. If they were all made with closed mouths, they would gone less noticed.
From there we go to Hurry From The Planet Of The Apes. Cornilius and Zira advance in original (well, new encourage in 1973) America. It’s easily the best and most scrumptious of the sequels. In the first half Cornilius and Zira experiencing aspects of our culture. Then, like the first two movies, it all ends on a tragic heed when the government begins to peep the trouble they (or more specifically, their unborn child) beget to the future.
Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes comes next, space some 20 years later in a totalitarian America of enslaved Apes at the verge of speech. Because of the similarity between the Apes revolution and the Watts riots smooth unique in people’s mind, the MPAA gave the first PG to an Apes movie. Also, some of the ending dialog was altered for a slightly more upbeat ending.
Battle of the Planet Of The Apes is easily the least of the franchise. But it is made slightly better on this unique version with the inclusion of some deleted scenes first seen in network showings and later on Japanese laserdisc. It is also intriguing to designate that this movie had really, the first post apocalyptic battle using abandoned cars (and other vehicles, like a school bus in this case) that would become a cliche’ after “The Road Warrior”. Apes did it first.
With Battle, they seemed to procure more careless with the makeup. Unlike most of the time before, Ape actor’s teeth were not painted dim to mask them beneath the untrue teeth attached to the appliences. And in a key scene where Caeser shouts “Now, fight like Apes!” Roddy’s lower mouth portion is almost falling off (and his dependable teeth are in burly thought) . This is why there is a smudge on the relate. It was added optically to try to veil this but does not succeed (and it was weak in the trailer) .
All the Ape movies are anamorphically remastered with glorious pleasurable results. But that’s not to say thier age does not present in spots.
20′th Century fox is at work on making a bulky film restoration to Planet Of The Apes (I saw a print with the pieces restored so far recently) . But the Apes films here all are done with video based restoration which is stunning for DVD.
I should also mention here that all films have a remixed 5.1 soundtrack but also have the option of novel mono. I often decide the mono as that was how the films were released. The 5.1 gives improved sound to the find if not that considerable more directionality to rest of the soundtrack.
This place also has the complete live action Planet Of The Apes TV indicate. It wasn’t a hard feat since it lasted only 14 episodes.
The demonstrate is actually more similar, spot wise, to The Fugitive. Two Human Astronauts with an Ape friend (Galen, played by Roddy McDowall) work to evade catch by General Urko and Dr, Zauis. During which they encounter different groups of people and apes with different challenges.
Unlike the movies, the other humans in this prove can talk too, although they are composed slaves to the apes.
In order to salvage syndication revenue, Fox ended up pairing up a number of episodes of the prove into several TV movies with names like “Life, Liberty and Pursuit Of The Planet Of The Apes”.
Some have said Roddy McDowall filmed additional material in Galen Makeup in 1981 for these TV movies. It’s been so long since I’ve seen them I can’t remember if that’s upright or not. If it is, it should’ve been included on this position. Also, early information for this station also mentioned that there would be TV spots and stills for the note. They are not included but somehow I figured it was a mistake and was not surprised. The transfers are the same as it was with the recent release of this display, exquisite marvelous considering the age.
For what it was POTA: The TV explain was beautiful agreeable. Roddy McDowall was especially fond of playing Galen since he had so worthy more time to produce the character then he had for Cornilius and Milo/Caeser.
Same goes for Return To The Planet Of The Apes, the 1975 Saturday Morning Cartoon. This rarely shown cartoon, was taped by me in the slow 1980’s off of WPIX on Saturday Morning. It turns out I was lucky because many an Ape fan has had their money ripped off with absolutely terrible looking bootleg tapes and DVD’s from Ebay honest for a chance to view the note. If they didn’t advance from edited Sci-Fi channel showings then they usually came from sunless, abominable sources.
I never would’ve believed that the Apes Cartoon would gawk legitimate DVD before the Star Trot cartoon would, but that’s exactly what happened (and proves unbiased how asleep at the wheel Paramount is with the Hasten Franchise) .
So far, unlike the rest of the stuff, the cartoon is weird to this position (for now at least, Fox has said it will release it separately in the future) .
The cartoon is produced by the same people that did the Pink Panther cartoons (DePatie and Freling) and has yet another three astronauts (Bill, Jeff and Judy) land in Ape land.
Although this is a slightly more advanced ape world. The apes have cars, and (former 1950’s looking) television. This Ape world also has giant mutated spiders, a prehistoric bird and a pacifist ape sect that is looked over by a giant King Kong style ape that they savor. B Monster movie stuff that us kids would eat up.
Not to mention the titles of the episodes which read like the attention grabbing titles of those same B movies. “Flames Of Doom”, “Lagoon Of Effort”, “Awe on Ice Mountain” and so on.
The cartoon is in a semi serial format. For instance, Judy seemed to be swallowed up by a Forbidden Zone illusion of the Earth opening up only to turn up again with the Underground dwellers in the third episode. Collected, they fail to retrieve her until a later episode.
The cartoons are barely sharp, taking the term “microscopic animation” to the accurate limit sometimes. But the artistic style is really nice, with many high disagreement renderings that remind me of humorous book style art.
The demonstrate also avoids the cute and/or young character effect in the the exhibit because it was for kids.
The voices on the point to include Austin Stoker (who was in Battle for The Planet Of The Apes and the modern Assault on Precinct 13) as the Astronaut Jeff and Henry Corden as General Urko. Henry Corden took over the state of Fred Flintstone after Alan Reed died. Therefore, you can hear a lot of “Fred Flintstone” in General Urko’s thunder. It’s a limited bizarre.
It appears that fox faded pre-existing transfers for most of Return. They lack the glimpse of a elephantine high definition remaster like was done for most of Spiderman the 1967 cartoon.
The print quality on these faded school transfers is quick-witted but passe looking. It will smooth be better than anything you can procure bootleg but not a home race by any means.
But at 3 episodes: “Tunnel Of Alarm”, “River Of Flames” and “Mission Of Mercy” that have undergone the burly high definition transfer treatment. These episodes are so determined you can often leer the brush strokes on the art and they are cleaned up nice too.
I don’t know why they remastered only a few shows without doing the whole thing. Perhaps they were unable to locate 35mm prints for most of the shows and if so, it unprejudiced isn’t worth it to do a high def transfer of 16 mm if you already have a fairly decent transfer already on hand. Or perhaps those are High def transfers of 16mm prints. Who knows?
Whatever the case may be, I’m contented at least a few got the better treatment to at least give a fine representation of the art in the series.
!UPDATE! It would now appear that the outmoded school transfers being on this dwelling were only there because most of the current transfers weren’t ready when the head area was to be released. Fox did, as promised, release the cartoon series seperately and on this release all the shows are remastered and carry the next week previews. Although I am cheerful that these remastered versions are available they should’ve been the ones buyers of this place got. Now you have to occupy this seperate release if you *really* want to have the Ultimate collection. At a $15 ticket point (and probabaly less than that as time passes and secondary sellers offer it) it’s not too immense a deal but it’s doesn’t consume away from the fact that Ape Head dwelling buyers were entitled to it from the beginning!UPDATE!
Finally, there is the 2001 remake by Tim Burton duplicating the 2 discs of the fresh 2 disc release. I haven’t looked at it yet.
While I opinion the remake was okay, it doesn’t interrogate tell viewings by me as the older films do. One day, I’m certain I will check it out.
The 14 DVD’s in total are save into a slight fold start plastic tray case that does a grand job of holding the discs and allows for easy finding of the disc you want.
It all goes into a compartment in the benefit of this 2 foot Ape head bust. It resembles and is dressed like Caeser.
For a long time, I have seen the things that was done with packaging for multi disc sets in Japan and wishing we could have something like that in the US.
Well, with Apes, it has arrive to pass. The head is made of hard vinyl or plastic is nicely painted with staunch (well, actual synthetic) applied hair and the green jumpsuit on the bust is represented by genuine fabric and zippers. The likeness to Caeser is a cramped off with the face being a petite more narrow than in loyal life. The hair is residence a itsy-bitsy too finish to the face as well. But overall, It is a nice representation of the Apes makeup.
It makes a nice conversation part in the very least. But if you are somehow disenchanted with the head, the case with the discs goes very nicely onto the shelf while you can store the head somewhere seperately(maybe in the big box and styrofoam packing it comes in) .
But it shows everything comes burly circle. At least for those that grew up with Apes as a share of thier pop culture tapestry. The Ape head with all the movies is like a titanic toy. Something you can observe at to gaze the detail in the makeup (which it was sculpted from) . I contemplate the face is a cramped bit too narrow for Roddy McDowall but it is detached nice to have an up stop discover at a halt to life size representation of the Apes makeup.
If I had a choice of getting all the discs without the head, I’m not distinct if I would’ve gotten it but since it’s here, it ain’t going nowhere.
The movies (the updated anamorphic remasters) are available seperataly, as is the TV note (in exactly the same contrivance as it is on this location) and the 2001 2 disc area.
What this location gives you is a unified plot of discs with matched labeling and the cartoon series (that is promised to someday be released seperataly) in a current (to say the least) package.
For those that have been waiting for the apt time to fall into the Planet Of The Apes, this is a no brainer. Long time Ape fans who have gotten the previous DVD’s will have most everything here and will have to determine for themselves if the cartoon and the deluxe head obtain it worth the take (since the anamorphic remasterings are available seperataly) .
If only they added some more to the extras (like really having those TV spots and addtional versions of trailers and TV spots for the movies and the rumored material shot for the TV films) that eclipse what had been in release before, it would be more of a must for Ape fans who have kept up with the DVD releases in the past.
