40 years of movies described in under 2 minutes. Impressive.

"APEbraham Lincoln". Come on, you missed that one!

Really should have named this video "Timeline of the planet of the apes"

[Mamo]

Oh my God. I'm back. I'm home. All the time, it was... We finally really did it.

You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!

Kingdom is 300 years after War?

I'd guess more like 20, honestly with how little the ape society has evolved.

It really doesn't work if you try to connect the newest 4 films to the original 5. The are different stories told from the same IP. Let them be separate. And the less we speak of the Burton film... the better

Thank u for making this short and to the point! No way I'm watching an hour long timeline video...

It's not that confusing, you got the OG timeline, still confusing if Escape is a Temporal Shift, or a Paradox.
THe 2001 reboot, and the Caesar Saga as I call the newest iteration i it's own thing.

In Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024), there's a scene where Noa and Soona look through a telescope, suggesting they might be searching for or observing distant celestial objects. This scene might evoke connections to the Planet of the Apes universe's broader themes of exploration and discovery, potentially hinting at other planets or distant locations within the franchise's lore.

The 2001 film, Planet of the Apes, directed by Tim Burton, presents a different narrative but also includes themes of exploration and encountering new worlds. In that film, the protagonist, Captain Leo Davidson, ends up on a distant planet inhabited by intelligent apes. Although the setting and plot differ, both films share a focus on exploring new worlds and the consequences of such explorations.

The telescope scene in the 2024 film might be seen as a nod to the franchise's ongoing exploration of the universe and the idea of looking beyond their immediate surroundings.

The film is appalling.

'Kingdom of the Planet of Apes' is appalling, nothing happens.

Is noa Caesar great great great great great great great great great great great grandson?

The new movies are reboots of the original

[RestoWings_Co]

Broo planet of the apes from 200 whatever was actually a good mf movie

[JohnPota-lcuy]

Tim Burton's movie is not canon to the timeline

[FouadCool]

i loved the 2001 Movie, but the ending was kinda messed up

[Wolfen]

Oh God, how frustrating that such an interesting franchise never a well organized timeline.

[maximilianogarciachirinos]

tecnically the last two of the Heston era are prequel so they are before the original.

[Pleiades]

Missed opportunity to say APE-raham Lincoln

[michaellecompte]

Can we enjoy a franchise that we don’t have to care about a timeline for once
