It is based on the Ape Escape video game series, with the characters and designs based on Ape Escape 2 in particular. The series consists of 76 45-second shorts that aired as part of the Oha Suta variety program in Japan.[1] In 2004, three of these shorts were dubbed into English and aired in the inaugural Nicktoons Film Festival.[2] One of the festival's founders, Frederator Studios, would later produce their own series of Ape Escape shorts in 2009.
