Customer Reviews:

Great documentary on the series. Well done!.......2005-07-05

This documentary covers the original Planet Of The Apes films and TV series' (including, briefly, the cartoon). Extremely well done. Hosted by Cornelius/Caesar/Galen himself, Roddy McDowell. This documentary tells the complete story of the films, with loads of behind the scenes information, photos, and footage. You also get to see some of the original makeup test used to sell Fox on the film (but not the ENTIRE test, as the packaging implies), as well as some promotional material, and an interview with McDowell. The interview is a mixed-bag, as there is no microphone on the person CONDUCTING the interview, so you can bately hear the questions (if at all). That minor grievance aside, this is a fantastic, 2-disc set, and I recommend this to any Planet Of The Apes fan.

The Ultimate Ape Documentary.......2002-04-04

This film was the documentary that revealed it all, even the make-up test with Hollywood legend Edward G. Robinson. Hosted by Roddy McDowall, this film goes behind the scenes at all five apes films, the two television series, the mass merchandising campaign, and beyond. Learn that this whole thing started with a novel that was rejected by its own author, and that Arthur Jacobs, the producer, had his wife in all but one Apes film.
Interveiws with Charlton Heston, Kim Hunter, John Chambers, Natalie Trundy, and Ricardo Montalbahn are also included. The Ultimate Ape Event!

Look into the making of the apes saga!!!(...).......2001-12-23

This is a great documentary on how the apes saga was made.This 2 disk DVD set takes you behind the scenes of Planet of the Apes.It is an great experience for apes fans.Hosted by Roddy McDowall(actor who played Cornelius,Caesar,and Galen)it is alsome!There is some things I do not like about it though.One thing is on the interview with Roddy McDowall.I just think that its to long and I don't think anywone would want to watch 1 hour and more of Roddy McDowall talking.Also I hate how the dailies and outtakes don't have any sound.You don't even now whats going on half the time.This is still a good experience and I think you should get it!!(...)

Interview with Roddy Poorly Done.......2001-10-19

Behind the Planet of the Apes has about every extra about the series even the most die-hard fan could ask for. But the interview on the second disk was awful. Some guy kept adjusting Roddy's mic. every few minutes, there was no editing so the footage was raw indeed. To make matters worse, the questions being posed to Roddy were all off camera and virtually inaudible; thanks guys.

If you already have the box set version, skip it...........2001-09-27

This was a great disc but I dont feel that the extras included here warrant a repurchase. I was glad to have seen it but watched it once and resold. The menus are different. All you're really missing is an LONG interview with Mcdowell, alot of 'trailer variations' and a pretty lengthy section set to the theme music that shows all the outtakes and unused footage run together. I'm not sure it's worth 21.00 considering the repeated viewing value....For die-hards only if you already have the box set version.

Massively Cool And Fun Tsotske With More Ape Stuff Than You Can Handle!.......2006-03-21

I remember the animated series when I was a kid and never thought I'd see it again, so this is...just plain great, PLUS it has the extended version of BATTLE which I never thought I'd see at all AND the 2-disc special editions of the original Planet and the Marky Mark Planet. As for the bust with life-like hair, well...I'm doing mine up in corn rows because this set deserves a 10.
