12 years ago, Christopher Turner recieved a holy vision in a dream: “Go Ye, and learn the art of animation”, spake the lord. “That thou mayest pitch and henceforth animate a 37 part series featuring vengfull gorillas, so world may know my wrath” - and lo, obedient Christopher dedicated his life to animation and from his ispired imagination issued forth The Avenging Apes of Africa.

This has to be the best eco-toon since Captain Planet, a product of the famously eco-friendly Turner media conglomerate. The Apes are an independant production, and you can tell because it’s authors have been able to push the boundries of plot and characterisation in a way that a major studio would never allow. Starting with an original concept: Mutated animals and their human buddies battle the forces of eco-evil, set amdist the tropical Congo rainforests. How did they ever come up with an idea like that?

The greatest mystery of this show is that it has not yet been produced; One would expect with brilliant ideas and god on his side, this series would be optioned in an instant, however it seems that TV companies would far rather commission godless piffle like this. Apes, I shall pray for you.
