This syndicated TV film was cobbled together from English-dubbed episodes of the Japanese TV series, 猿の軍団 :: Saru no gundan. It tells the story of Miss Catherine and two kids who are accidently frozen and wake up on an Earth ruled by apes. Inspired by (but not part of) the more widely known Earth-ruled-by-apes series, and I suppose not really time travel either because it’s merely cryogenic sleep.
—Michael Main
Uncle Charlie and Miss Catherine are engaged in important experiments at the lab, so don’t disturb their work.
