Ape Escape, known in Japan as Excited Saru Getchu (レッチュ　ゲッチュ　サルゲッチュ Ju Retsu Saru Getchu?) is a series of computer generated anime shorts produced by Shogakukan Music & Digital Entertainment, and Sony Computer Entertainment for TV Tokyo in 2002. 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 forty-five second shorts that aired as part of a 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.

A 22-minute movie based on the series, entitled Ape Escape The Movie: Battle for the Golden Pipo Helmet (劇場版サルゲッチュ 黄金のピポヘル・ウッキーバト?) was released on August 17, 2002 in Japan. The film was attached to Beyblade The Movie: Fierce Battle.[3]

Sony Computer Entertainment released a DVD featuring the entire series of shorts, as well as the movie on December 19, 2002 in Japan. The DVD came with a "Yappari Saru Get Chu" dance instruction video, and an exclusive Afrosaru trading card.[4]
