Planet of the Apes star Andy Serkis appears in PETA's latest campaign video, celebrating the advances of computer generated imagery and performance mapping that make modern films free from animal cruelty.

The British actor commented 'The thought of shooting an Apes movie now with real apes is absurd. We've matured as an industry and realised that that would be intolerable and cruel'. The video can be viewed at https://youtu.be/1tNK-P29SvU.
