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.
