Lisa (Planet of the Apes)

Lisa (Planet of the Apes)

Lisa is a chimpanzee character, and the wife of Caesar, from the later installments of the "Planet of the Apes" movie series. She was played by actress Natalie Trundy.

"Conquest of the Planet of the Apes"

Lisa and Caesar meet on a kind of "blind date" – more specifically, they are selected by ape handlers for breeding, and left together in a small room. Later, when Caesar launches an ape revolt, he makes a speech to the gathered apes (and a few captured humans, including Governor Breck and Mr. MacDonald), and condemns humanity. Lisa, heretofore mute, speaks for the first time, telling Caesar "No!" Listening to her, Caesar modifies his stand, telling the apes to leave their onetime human captors to their fate, and begin a world of their own.

"Battle for the Planet of the Apes"

Ten years after the end of "Conquest", Caesar and Lisa are married, and have a son, named Cornelius after Caesar's own father Cornelius. Lisa is Caesar's counsel, who reminds him of his duties toward the other apes, and also of the humans now in his charge. She also discourages her son Cornelius from playing "war" with his friends.

When enemy humans attack, Lisa is captured, and the sight of her being mishandled spurs Caesar on to fight harder. After winning the battle, Lisa supports Caesar's decision to free the humans who live with the apes, and try to live together with them as equals.
