Christmas Presents from Caesar

In a related story, it was revealed that the writers of the "Planet of the Apes" trilogy have a tradition of putting Christmas presents from Caesar under their tree. This tradition began with the first film in the reboot trilogy, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," when Serkis gave the writers a small plush Caesar doll.

The tradition has continued with each subsequent film, with Serkis giving the writers a different Caesar-themed gift each year. This year, Serkis gave the writers a set of Caesar-themed ornaments.
