	Movies - Magilla Gorilla

Magilla Gorilla was the main character from The Magilla Gorilla Show, an animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera between January 14, 1964, and 1967. The show also had other recurring characters, including Punkin' Puss and Mushmouse, Ricochet Rabbit, and Droop-A-Long.

In Magilla Gorilla, the protagonist spent his time languishing in the front display window of Mr. Peebles' pet shop, eating bananas and being a drain on the businessman's finances. Mr. Peebles marked Magilla down considerably, but he was only ever purchased for a short time, typically by some thieves who needed a gorilla to break into a bank or by an ad company looking for a mascot for their new product. The customers always ended up returning Magilla, forcing Mr. Peebles to return their money. The only customer who was truly interested in obtaining the trouble-prone ape for good was a little girl named Ogee ("Oh Gee!"), who lamentably never had enough money. Magilla always ended the episode with his catchphrase, "Will try again next week."

Magilla Gorilla also appeared on Yogi's Gang and as a teenage gorilla on Yo Yogi.

On the Adult Swim cartoon series Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law,in episode "Free Magilla," Magilla Gorilla was "liberated" by a parody of PETA called PAFF (the People's Animal Freedom Front), whom Mr. Peebles proceeded to sue.
