i love this little animated feature. it doesn't bother me if it doesn't go into some scientific diatribe about apes and evolution. this is a fictional earth two thousand years in a fictious future and i accept the mythology as it presents itself. the theories in this little animated feature work as well as believing that a man and woman were fully formed in a matter of seconds from earth knowing how to speak and reason and think and being perfectly healthy without having even so much as a morsel of food.i think this show is really cute even down to the little humanoid song that the ape is listening to and i love the friendship between the zera and cornelius and our trio. it warms my heart to know that even in a distant future there is still a such thing as love and friendship and caring about someone different than yourself.it also bothers me that there are plenty of current day racists who would feel right at home with general urko as he espouses his nonsensical ideas.
