''Return to the Planet of the Apes'' is an animated series, by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises in association with 20th Century Fox Television, based upon ''Planet of the Apes'' by Pierre Boulle. Boulle's novel had previously inspired five films and a TV series, beginning with the 1968 film ''Planet of the Apes'' starring Charlton Heston. Unlike the film, its sequels, and the 1974 live action TV series, which involved a primitive ape civilization, ''Return to the Planet of the Apes'' depicted a technologically advanced society, complete with automobiles, film, and television; as such it more closely resembled both Boulle's original novel and early concepts for the first ''Apes'' movie which were changed due to budgetary limitations in the late 1960s. Produced following the last of the big-screen features and a short-lived live-action television series, this series was among the last ''Planet of the Apes'' projects for several years following a number of comic books from Marvel Comics〔(''Planet of the Apes'' ) and (''Adventures on the Planet of the Apes'' ) at the Grand Comics Database〕 (August 1974 - February 1977) and a series of audio adventures from Power Records in 1974.〔(''Planet of the Apes'' Book and Record Set ), (''Beneath the Planet of the Apes'' Book and Record Set ), (''Escape from the Planet of the Apes'' Book and Record Set ), and (''Battle for the Planet of the Apes'' Book and Record Set ) at the Grand Comics Database〕 Aside from a number of comic book series published by Malibu Comics in the early 1990s,〔(''Planet of the Apes'' comic books published by Malibu Comics ) at the Grand Comics Database〕 the next project based upon Boulle's concepts would be Tim Burton's reimagining in 2001. Along with the second film ''Beneath the Planet of the Apes'', this is one of only two original ''Planet of the Apes'' productions in which Roddy McDowall was not involved. ==Broadcast history== Airing on NBC, the series premiered on September 6, 1975 and was broadcast until September 4, 1976, although only thirteen episodes were produced. The series aired Saturday mornings at 11:00 AM Eastern/10:00 AM Central. The series was later shown in reruns on the Sci Fi Channel in 1992 as part of Sci Fi Cartoon Quest. Music for the series was provided by Dean Elliott and Eric Rogers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Return to the Planet of the Apes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
