Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Occupying its own continuity, yet clearly drawing aspects from the first two films, Return to the Planet of the Apes is an animated series that was produced in the 1970s by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises based on the Planet of the Apes franchise.In the year 1976, a small space shuttle with a three man crew is launched as part of an experiment in relativity, achieving a speed where one hundred years and multiple days goes past in almost no time at all for them. But then their ship develops a malfunction and goes blasting towards an alien planet, hurtling rapidly through time to the point that, when they crash-land in a lake, over 2000 years have passed for them. Setting out in hopes of finding civilization, they discover themselves on a strange world of caveman-like humans and advanced, intelligent apes... which are not too welcoming towards the intelligent humans.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Airing on NBC, the series premiered on September 6, 1975 and was broadcast until September 4, 1976, although only thirteen episodes were produced.

Bittersweet Ending: The astronauts are no closer to finding a way back to their own era, but the show still ends on a hopeful note; Urko has been suspended and will likely face further punishment for his unsanctioned, last-ditch effort to exterminate the humans, who have forged an alliance with the Underdwellers and found a safe, fortified place to live. Bill and Cornelius also plan to present an ancient book revealing the true history of the planet to the Council, in an attempt to foster peace between the apes and the humans. Oh, and the Apes are learning about their forefathers.

Adaptational Nice Guy: Krador and the Underdwellers are based on the mutants in Beneath the Planet of the Apes. Despite their initial misunderstadning, they were nowhere near as hostile towards the astronauts as the mutants from that film. In fact, they abduct Judy only because they worship her as a goddess and they come to trust Bill and Jeff as "Friends of Usa" and common enemies of the Apes.
