In anticipation of the impending release of Rise of the Planet of the Apes<\/span> I revised my 2003 ape films survey as Simian Cinema 2.0<\/a>. Out of curiosity, I researched the streaming availability of the films mentioned. I referenced Netflix<\/a>, Amazon Prime<\/a>, Crackle<\/a>, Hulu<\/a>, Hulu Plus<\/a>, and the Internet Archive<\/a>. As a service to the Geek Curmudgeon faithful, I present my findings. <\/p>\n

\n10. Son of Kong<\/span> (1933)<\/span><\/p>\n

Trailer available at Internet Archive<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

9. Escape From the Planet of the Apes<\/span> (1971)<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently not available. <\/p>\n

\n8. Tarzan<\/span> (1999 Animated)<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently not available. <\/p>\n

\n7. Mighty Joe Young<\/span> (1998)<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently not available.<\/p>\n

\n6. King Kong<\/span> (2005)<\/span><\/p>\n

\n5. Gorillas In the Mist<\/span> (1988)<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n4. Tarzan, The Ape Man<\/span> (1932)<\/span><\/p>\n

Trailer available at Internet Archive<\/a> <\/p>\n

The awful Bo Derek movie is streaming via Netflix<\/a>. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. Planet of the Apes<\/span> (1968)<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently not available.<\/p>\n

\n2. Mighty Joe Young<\/span> (1949)<\/span><\/p>\n

Trailer available at Internet Archive<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. King Kong<\/span> (1933)<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently not available.<\/p>\n

\nDisappointed by the weak showing of the best of the best but not deterred, I decided to research all the movies I mentioned in the piece.<\/p>\n

\nBuddy<\/span> (1997)<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently not available.<\/p>\n

\nThe Gorilla<\/span> (1939)<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Jungle Book<\/span> (1967 Animated)<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

King Kong Vs. Godzilla<\/span> (1962)<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A*P*E<\/span> (King Kongui Daeyeokseub<\/span>) aka Attack of the Giant Horny Gorilla<\/span> (1976)<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently not available.<\/p>\n

\nKonga<\/span> (1961)<\/span><\/p>\n

Trailer available at Internet Archive<\/a>
Netflix<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

King Kong Lives<\/span> (1986)<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently not available.<\/p>\n

\nCongo<\/span> (1995)<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently not available.<\/p>\n

\nAny of the Planet of the Apes<\/span> movies<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently not available.<\/p>\n

But all 13 episodes of the animated Return to the Planet of the Apes<\/span><\/span> are available on Hulu Plus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nJust terrible. Not much love for the ape via streaming. Wonder if the success of Rise<\/span> may change that? <\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

\n*Word of caution. This info is accurate as of August 11, 2011. The availability of streaming titles is nearly always in flux. YMMV.*<\/span><\/p>\n
