CORNELIUS AND ZIRA

CORNELIUS AND ZIRA
THE SIXTH OF THE "APES" FILMS - AND THE BEST! In 1977, a group of teenage friends from North London recreated the world of the Planet Of The Apes in a short 8mm film, made on a shoestring budget over the course of the year and featuring home-made makeup, costumes, props and scenery, Helmed by lifelong puppeteer David Barclay, who went on to bigger and better things as a world-famous animation, motion-capture and puppetry professional in such epics as The Empire Strikes Back, Return Of The Jedi, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, The Little Shop Of Horrors and Cats And Dogs among many others, CORNELIUS AND ZIRA forms a bridge between the sci-fi classics BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES and ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES and reveals the untold story of how Cornelius, Dr Zira and Dr Milo fled the imminent destruction of Planet Earth. The main cast comprises David Barclay as curious chimpanzee archaeologist Cornelius and Jackie Lawrence as his wife, animal psychologist Zira, with Gary Cook (your host) as Dr Milo, Ernest Morris as the devious Dr Zaius and Frank Seymour as gorilla soldier Aboro. Produced and directed by David Barclay, who also created the prosthetic makeup in the style of the legendary John Chambers. This blog contains a collection of photos and animated screenshots, some of which you might have seen on my main Apes blog, Archives Of The Apes. Bear in mind that the original movie is on 8mm film, and much of the material presented here is third- or fourth-generation copies, so the quality may sometimes be a bit ropy.
