Notes[]
- Like other Dawn of the Planet of the Apes promotional material, this series of shorts takes 2011 as the year of the Simian Flu outbreak, which is based solely on the release date of Rise of the Planet of the Apes rather than on-screen evidence that clearly places the outbreak in July 2016.
