Fox's boxed set release of the Planet of the Apes series received the coveted DVD Critics Award in the category of Best Blu-ray release of 2008. The awards are sponsored by Home Media Magazine, one of the leading journals of the home entertainment industry. The boxed set is truly the ultimate tribute to the legendary series and boasts many hours of extras, including rare deleted footage. Cinema Retro publishers Lee Pfeiffer and Dave Worrall wrote the accompanying hard-cover book that is included in the set. It covers the history of each film with candid assessments of how they were received by both critics and the public. The book also features a wealth of never-before-published design sketches, publicity stills and behind the scenes photos. Cinema Retro congratulates our friends at Fox. We are proud to be part of the team that helped make this long-awaited release a reality.
