In 2006, Fox Home Entertainment released Planet of the Apes: The Ultimate
DVD Collection. The DVD box set was housed in a bust of Caesar, and it
consisted of all five original movies, the TV series, the animated series,
and the 2001 monstrosity. At the time of its release, the animated series
Return to the Planet of the Apes had not previously been released
for home video. Unfortunately, the remastering of those episodes was not
completed before this set was released. A few months later, the fully-remastered
Return DVDs were released in a standalone package, leave the
"Ultimate" set a little shy of actually being ultimate.

In 2008, Fox Video released all of the Apes films on Blu-ray
in the limited edition 40-Year Evolution box set, which also included
a large hardback book covering the Apes franchise.
The discs are feature-packed, with tons of extras, including new segments
and documentaries created for the set, as well as a CGI-animated Lawgiver
introducing the extras.
The most exciting new features of the set were the inclusion of the
original version of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes and the
extended version of Battle. The new Conquest has several
more scenes of violence and Caesar's original speech, which isn't as
touchy-feely as the theatrical release. The new Battle restored
previous excised scenes involving the mutants and the Alpha-Omega bomb.
