Needless to say I am VERY excited to add this Sci-fi classic to my Blu-ray wish list. A good friend of mine and I made our own ape costumes for Halloween one year (I was a gorilla, he was chimp). I do own the massive "Planet of the Apes" - The Ultimate DVD Collection (see image below) and I'm sort of interested in the new prequel being filmed: "Rise of the Apes". But the original, restored AND in HD? Yeah it's being added to our small, but growing Blu-ray collection.
And for an added treat, here's a trailer for the original...
And the opening titles for the animated series...

The film, which won several awards and was nominated for two Academy Awards, tells the story of a futuristic world where apes view themselves as the dominant species and enslave the humans. The film was so popular that it spawned a television series and several remakes.
