Notes[]

  • While the original book takes place for the most part on an alien planet called Soror and feature Sororian Apes (with the Earth apes appearing only in the ending), the original movie adaptations take place entirely on Earth. As a result, these films portray every Sororian Ape character from the book as an Earth ape instead.
    • The 2001 film by Tim Burton, on the other hand, follows the same formula as the book, as the Earth apes appear only in the last scene.

Footnotes[]

  1. 1.0 1.1 The fact that the apes speak French is evident considering that Jinn recognizes it as a language used on Earth, but was unaware of the fact that intelligent human beings ever existed on the planet, so he must be referring to Earth apes.
