Plot
Taking place a few months after the events of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Caesar and his ape colony all live peacefully in their new village until one day, a greedy, ruthless ape-hating human survivor named David Coleman plots to start a massacre of the apes and wipe out the entire ape community for good. He hires Lisa Schaffner as his assistant to destroy the apes, but Lisa would rather befriend and protect the apes than kill them like her boss. Lisa then attempts to save Caesar and the apes from danger without letting David know, or else there will be another human-ape war.

Development
Glass Ball Productions chairman Clive Nakayashiki expressed surprise that there weren't any previous attempts to animate a Planet of the Apes film. At the 2016 CinemaCon in April, 20th Century Fox chairman Rupert Murdoch and Glass Ball president Athena Christaniakis announced that the animated Planet of the Apes film had a July 17, 2019 release, and would be produced by Glass Ball and Chernin Entertainment, with Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver writing a treatment for the film. Murdoch said that it would "co-exist" with the Planet of the Apes reboot films, though Fox soon stated that the film would "exist independently of the projects in the Planet of the Apes reboot universe". In January 2017, Fox moved the film's release date to July 12, 2019.

Animation
The film's animation will be provided by Creative Step Studio and Weta Digital. All of the ape characters will be created with a mixture of motion-capture and CGI key-frame animation in this film, as they were performed in motion-capture technology and animated in CGI in the Planet of the Apes reboot films. Like Glass Ball's Real Tag (2018), the human characters will be created in photo-realistic-like animation combined with motion-capture.

Music
The film's score will be composed by Michael Giacchino, who composed the score for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes.
