HABA TALES: THE CULTURED APE

Directed by Harold Whitaker, Tony Guy

1959 / 8min

A musically talented ape is captured in the jungle and taken back to civilisation. However, civilisation proves too uncouth for the cultured ape so he departs, philosophically pondering that "when the arts are out of date, the artist must withdraw and wait". A colourised version was released in 1980.
