The animated series was the last work relating to the Apes saga produced. It was produced after the live action TV series and aired in 1975 as a Saturday morning cartoon for 13 episodes. The storyline was continuous and built on previous episodes.

The show is set in the year 3979 after the first and second Apes movies.Familiar characters from the first and second Apes movie including female Nova, Cornelius, Zira and Dr Zaius inhabit this world as does General Urko from the live action Apes TV series.

The cartoon takes a different approach to the Apes concept as in this show, Apes have automobiles, TV, and even make use of a repaired fighter airplane. Human astronauts from the past crash and lead human survivors to safety after extermination is deemed their future by Ape Council.

Frequent references to American culture abound throughout the shows brief run. The Apefather is a favorite movie and humans underground wait for "USA" the one who will lead them to salvation.
