>>211672248In the original a plague killed domesticated animals like cats and dogs. Replacing them with monkeys became popular. At a certain point they evolved monkeys into hominid-like monkeys to use them basically as slaves.
Many generations from then a smarter monkey was born, Ceasar, who guided the monkeys against humans.
The original movies, 2rd one I believe? had the 2 monkeys from movie 1 travelling in time and gettign killed in our near future, their sone/daughter survives and he/she is/generates Caesar, who basically is monkey John Connor.
og movie is all time kino, but the sequels... eh. They have some kino moments tho, and you propably will recognize them reahashed in the new movies, like the first word ever pronounced by a monkey (Ceasar): "No!" and a crime committed by a gorilla (maybe in the last movie) where the monkey leader couldn't believe that a monkey could kill a monkey.
FUN fact. The only monkey movie to ever be accurate to the original book is the Tim Burton one. And like the book, it's shit
