No, I'm not talking about Unknown Primate and Scatter - although they ARE favorites around here -but those crazy apes of yesteryear, whether they be on film, TV, toys, comics, etc.
I'll start off with a couple:

As a kid ,after Kong my next favorite was Mighty Joe Young

Re: POTA Musical. Thanks for making me squirt coffee out my nose!
King Kong, Toho Kong, Ceasar from the POTA series.
A special nod to the old Hollywood gorillas from the '30's & '40's & Charles Gemora. They deserve a place along side our favorite classic monsters & actors.
King Kong is my all time fave--there is another Kong my childhood wouldn't be complete with out....though I often hated his guts!

What bumped it, do you remember?
the original Kong was, is, and always will be my favorite.
As a kid I had some kind of ape fetish-apes all over my room. Pictures , toys, models.
Here I am with a gorilla sculpture, not sure where this is, probably a zoo.

I was trying to recall. I think it might have been a music show; I was only 6 or 7 when Lancelot Link was on, but my brother was already 12 or 13 and I know this was when he began to be interested in music. But I'll have to ask him. I think we watched Jonny Quest reruns before LL came on; that was the only cartoon I think my brother was still interested in watching at that age!
Hey Monolith, I had an obsession with apes too! Hmm, maybe 'had' is the wrong tense... I was always finding ape posters, toys, books, much to my Mom's dismay, as she couldn't stand them!
Lancelot Link was one of my favorites, too. I have a couple of L. L. comics and a coloring book, still.
When I was a kid my older brother turned me on to Ernie Kovaks-that Nairobi Trio Solfeggio is great stuff.
Here's my coloring book...

yes, Magilla was great! I also liked Grape Ape.
Who remembers the mysterious 'humanzee', Oliver?
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/walkie20/Oliver.gif)
He certainly was a bizarre-looking chimp. Although I like apes, the footage I've seen of him raises the hair on the back of my neck. Something about him just seems off. I've always thought he looked like he was burned too. There's a British documentary on youtube about Oliver that is fairly interesting, as long as you ignore the wild speculation.

or Lost in Space' Penny Robinson's FAVE
(http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/rtezai/UMA%20database/debbie.jpg)
Oh man, Debbie the Bloop! I was never a big Lost in Space fan, but I did like that funky chimp!
OK, here's another fave. I know the 1976 King Kong is disliked by many, but I loved it, and probably the biggest reason is Rick Baker's great suit.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/walkie20/king-kongbaker.jpg)
Yes, Rick Baker's work on the Kong remake was really great, Way better than that giant mechanical Kong that they spent so much money on and it looked so bad whenever they showed it.They should've just stuck with Rick's work.
Remember Fearo the ferocious from Underdog? It was very Kong inspired. I loved that one as a kid.

Agreed. Years ago I had a book on the making of that film and the robot Kong was a complete failure from the start. It's so obvious when they use that instead of Rick in some scenes. The robot is so stiff and slow-moving. But it seems like DeLaurentis was determined to use it.

That is a bust of the gorilla Ngagi at the San Diego Zoo.
Rob
Yes, That's it ! I grew up in Boston but we made a drive across the country and stopped at the San Diego zoo. I thought that's where that photo was from but I wasn't positive. Thanks for clearing it up. Is that statue still there?
Here's another cartoon ape I liked as a kid---Ape from George of the jungle, voiced in a suave British accent by Paul Frees.
(http://www.tvacres.com/images/simians_ape2.jpg)
Speaking of George of the Jungle, General Terry's late father-in-law wrote the theme song for that show Am I remembering correctly Terry?
Rob
George of the Jungle had an awesome theme song! That show was funny.
Speaking of funny---I always thought Debbie was a funny name for a space chimp on Lost in Space and I was always amused by her "bloop, bloop" sounds she made. Thanks for posting a pic of her Opera Ghost.
And let us not forget Bingo, the Banana Splits drummer...

Scatter, my good simian,
I did NOT discriminate against you or our dear UP. I actually said you two WERE favorites! here's the quote:
"No, I'm not talking about Unknown Primate and Scatter - although they ARE favorites around here -"
I thought that the two of you, being such humble apes, wouldn't want to see the board overwhelmed with praise and admiration in your name. So please do not fling any poo at me! :P

I remember that kit! I alays thought the gorilla liked as though he was thinking "What did I do?"
kind of like Steve A had just barged into tyhe Gorilla enclosure and started beating up gorillas and taking their bananas.
I know-I felt a little sorry for that gorilla.
And there was also this kit, which recently has been reissued.

I am shocked and stunned ;) ;) that so far no one has mentioned our dear Cornelius from Planet of the Apes. Roddy McDowell hung or should I say "swung" in there for all four Apes movies AND 'aped' it up in the short-lived tv series.

Nope-I don't think anyone posted White Pongo before you.
I love Roddy McDowell.My older brother took me to see the Planet of the Apes. I didn't know anything about it beforehand.That movie had a huge influence on me.
I also loved watching the Kong cartoons. I have volume one on dvd, they are still good. I have to get vol. 2.
I also have some of the cartoon Kong collectables-the record, the puppet,toy from the playset,and the bendy.

Hey does anyone here know what A*P*E was??
I have an issue of FM with APE Vs Jaws...and I thought when I got it they were referring to King Kong, but after reading it (again and again) I'm getting the idea it was some B rated version of Kong....anyone know what this is??

That one ^
This is sitting on my night stand next to my bed right now.
One of my absolute favorite pieces of artwork ever--
and it's all because of Monsterphile.
I saw this in an old "your 1st FM" thread, he showed it and I had to have it--It's been displayed ever since I bought it.
Now--the story inside is a fantastic battle with the 2 great beasts. However...I
still have
no clue who APE is, and it's often spelled A*P*E....
This FM is for JAWS2...which is a year after the Kong remake (right?)...so I'm wondering if APE is just supposed to be Kong and FM couldnt use the name...
or there is some crazy Ape movie that came out in the 70's trying to steal Kong's thunder.
Anyone?
you'd think if it was supposed to be Kong, that he would be bigger than Jaws in the pic, so I would go with a completely different ape.
Have ya tried google for the answer?

I was dissapointed this one wasn't reissued.
I also was disappointed that one wasn't reissued.
This is George Barrows as a gorilla who became Pugsley's pet in a first season episode of the Addams Family. George also played Ro-man in Robot Monster.
(http://www.bloodsprayer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/George-Barrows-Addams-Family-1.jpg)
great picture! Barrows seemed very busy in the 60s. he was also the gorilla in the Beverly Hillbillies episode clip that I posted to start this thread. What was it with families getting gorillas as pets/maids?
The Barrows suit was also used in Konga, but from what I have read I don't think Barrows himself played Konga.

And here's Don Glut's website. He did 41 amateur films some featuring monsters like Frankenstein and a werewolf and a couple of Kong types, and some with superheroes like Spiderman and Will Eisner's the Spirit.
Check it out, lots of cool stuff.

This is Gorilla Man from the recent Agents of Atlas comic book (which I bet all of you would love, as it's chock full of references to sci fi movies, and has a retro vibe).
That looks awesome Moonshadow, thanks for posting.
I love a good Gorilla in my comics!
Gorilla Grod, Mandrill, Cy-Gor...and now maybe that guy!
It's a great comic BL. Besides Gorilla Man, there's the robot, a flying saucer, and a giant chinese dragon! Packed full of intrigue with spies, aliens, and mermaids and goddesses! It's one of the few comics I read that is actually fun.

They can seem uncannily human.

Lots of great apes in the comics here...

Not sure what this is, but it's awesome, maybe a reconstruction of one of those now extinct giant apes.

I could be wrong (and lord knows that's a regularity here!) but it looks like Gigantapithicus.

That's correct OG. Munns has done a wide variety of work, including extinct creatures. You should really check out his pictures; he's a talented guy.

Thanks MS, will do!
Thanks for the link Moonshadow--I've seen most of the movies he's worked on,too. I didn't know that was him in the photo. His work is awesome!
