It's actually still earth and the protagonist time travelled.
They travelled to the past when only the upper half of the statue was built.

So… in the novel… it IS actually a different planet and obviously the Statue of Liberty is not there.
You likely already know this but the statue in the movie is a convenient symbol for change over time which is relevant to the book. No spoilers.
Anyway… read the novel! It’s great.
I haven't read the book, but that makes this even funnier to me. Lol
Will add that to my list.
Actually it was the French aliens that transported them on their spaceship
"Hnng hnngyeeess, the Eeevil Council are French! Nyah hah! Nnggyah! Power me up, babyy! Nggyah hah!"

Is this a meme or is this merely a statement of fact about a movie along with a photo from that movie
Are you serious?
Are YOU serious?
Are WE serious?
A quick googling is too much to ask?
https://planetoftheapes.fandom.com/wiki/Statue_of_Liberty
In 3978, human refugee George Taylor fled from Ape City with his newly acquired mate, Nova. During the course of several days, Taylor believed that he had been living on a strange, alien world. Following the shoreline, he came upon the Statue's ruins and realized that he was on Earth. Worse, he deduced that the humans of his own era must have waged a global war, which paved the way for a dystopian future where humans became subservient to evolved apes.
Just in case you're not joking, that's the point of this meme. That the big reveal and emotional moment at the end of the film has been misunderstood and reduced to a plot hole
Well, joke and internet is hard.
I can't believe you were serious. That's funny!
Did you even watch the movie? They explain it right away!
Someone "blew it up" and the resulting explosion launched it into space.
thats dumb as fuck lol
I've only watched the musical from the Simpsons.
I hate every ape I see, from chimpan-A to chimpanzee.
Dint family guy also did a musical

No, this is a misunderstanding. This is just an unusual rock formation. It has nothing to do with the actual statue, that still stands on Earth.

It was a different statue that looked the same. Just a coincidence. It's not that deep.

No! They did it! They blew it up!
And then the apes blew up their society too. How could this happen?
And then the birds took over and ruined their society.
And then the cows. And then...I don't know, is that a slug, maybe?
Noooo!
If you reach the bird people you're too far ahead.
Weird how the copper of the slug statue looks older than the other ones. I hope someone got fired for that blunder
It's, like, even more futuristic copper so it colors differently.
Or maybe version their statue was built with the help of their version of Ea-Nasir.
No matter how many times he's reincarnated, he always has shitty copper and treats his customers with contempt!
They sold it, to pay for the debts after the stock market crash of 2025.
