Animation Damnation: Return to the Planet of the Apes
Added 2024-05-15 10:00:05 +0000 UTCOn this edition of our cartoon recap show, we're chatting about the long-forgotten animated adaptation of a beloved live-action property, Return to the Planet of the Apes!
The episode in question, "Flames of Doom," originally aired back on September 6, 1975, and features some of the cheapest, but trippiest animation we've seen in a while! How funny is it every time the script repeats the names, "Bill," "Jeff," and "Judy"? Why couldn't they have gone a different direction than just MORE astronauts crash landing on the planet of the apes? And how many people out there remember the terrifying children's program, Pappyland? GULP! PLUS: An update from after this episode was recorded, yes, indeed, Andrew has now watched every single episode of this apes cartoon!

2024-07-25 21:37:58 +0000 UTCI’ve watched the entire series a few times now bc of AD. I low key really enjoy it. Game: Drink every time someone says “monster bird” and take a puff from your vape every time they say “Usa”. It’ll be a good time 😂

2024-05-18 22:04:12 +0000 UTCYes! I totally forgot to mention that on the episode. He also played "MacDonald" in Battle for the Planet of the Apes! - Andrew

2024-05-18 22:03:35 +0000 UTCTOS, if only because I have a soft spot in my heart for Filmation productions. But honestly? Spark up and check out that Apes series in its entirety. It GOES places! - Andrew

2024-05-18 22:02:06 +0000 UTCIt may not be germane to AD, but I would kill to hear an AD on Pappyland.

2024-05-16 22:50:04 +0000 UTCWhat are the odds? Yesterday, FB suggested a video from a channel that seems to be SVU episodes edited down to 10 minutes or so, and it was the one with the hat sniffing pedo.

2024-05-16 17:39:18 +0000 UTCI think I have this series in the ape head boxset I own. I must check it out some time, for better or worse.

2024-05-16 06:31:36 +0000 UTCUsed to watch Pappy before school every morning. And Bob Ross when I got home
Andrew McCoy
2024-05-16 01:10:17 +0000 UTCI have a not-so-bold prediction: John Krasinki’s “If” will be a stay-tuned in January.

2024-05-15 19:12:40 +0000 UTCBetween the few new monkey/ape-related movies out, this episode, and the Beneath episode coming later this month, I'm loving APE-ril 2.0 (in May, but whatever).

2024-05-15 17:14:54 +0000 UTCMore than likely, yes.

2024-05-15 15:16:58 +0000 UTCDoes that mean it was Alex Toth?

2024-05-15 15:15:43 +0000 UTCMy grandma knew Pappy's wife! I loved that show!

2024-05-15 14:48:06 +0000 UTCI really enjoy any time Andrew angrily calls the other guys "apes"

2024-05-15 14:46:12 +0000 UTCSteve manifested a show into existence like Candle Cove. Papyland never existed on May 14th, and now we all know about it, by June he'll be president

2024-05-15 14:17:34 +0000 UTCAfter just watching this for the 1st time, it looks like it was drawn by Jack Kirby if Jack Kirby's hands were broken by a Vegas loanshark.

2024-05-15 13:28:56 +0000 UTCOOK OOK.
Mark Ibarra
2024-05-15 12:35:00 +0000 UTCYou gotta love a cartoon that opens with people crucified upside down in the intro. The episode where they meet the psychic mutants from Beneath is goofy fun
Kevin Lynch
2024-05-15 11:26:49 +0000 UTCWhoa Jeff is Austin Stoker from Assault on Precinct 13
Andrew Dean
2024-05-15 11:19:42 +0000 UTCFor Andrew, better toon time experience in it's entirety -- all 22 episodes of STAR TREK: THE ANIMATED SERIES? Or, all 13 episodes of RETURN TO PLANET OF THE APES? Safe travels, to you & the guys, from the Lone Star State!
