Why is this not regarded as a classic

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2020)

I grew up on planet of the apes and appreciate any remakes but these- this being the first of the trilogy is special. It's based on a true story in a way but obviously there are fantastical elements this makes it believable and it's done so well - the animation is incredible and it sets up the transition from humans being dominant to the apes - it's an origin story. It's fantastic -it's heartbreaking heart warming and even frightening, with just with the right amount of drama. It has also stood the test of time with the effects and filming -I recommend
