Plot

As a young boy being raised by gorillas, Tarzan (voiced by Harrison Chad) is worried that a fabled monster known as the Zugor (voiced by George Carlin) will someday catch him. He is disappointed that he can’t run as quickly as the other young apes in his family, and his attempts to prove himself keep resulting in chaos. When an accident leaves his adoptive mother Kala (voiced by Glenn Close) thinking that Tarzan has died and the other apes feeling that Tarzan has reached a fitting end, the boy believes it best for everyone involved if he runs away.

Alone in the jungle,Tarzan gets chased by Sabor the leopard right to a rocky place known as Dark Mountain, inhabited by two hulking, spoiled gorilla brothers, the dim-witted Uto (voiced by Brad Garrett), the exceedingly violent Kago (voiced by Ron Perlman), and their controlling, over-protective Mama Gunda (voiced by Estelle Harris). But they fear the Zugor as much as Tarzan does, and when the booming call of the monster echoes through the valley, Tarzan is able to escape from them. He encounters a crotchety old gorilla who at first keeps the boy distant, but Tarzan discovers that this old gorilla actually is Zugor, who uses hollow trees as megaphones to amplify his voice and pretend to be a monster to scare other jungle creatures away from his territory and food. Tarzan uses this discovery to force Zugor into letting the boy stay with him. Thanks to Tarzan’s cheerfulness and helpfulness, Zugor begins to warm to him as the boy continues to try to figure out what he is.

Tarzan’s best friends Terk (voiced by Brenda Grate) and Tantor (voiced by Harrison Fahn) come looking for him, but Tarzan does not want to return home with them. It is only when Kala arrives and encounters trouble with Gunda and her boys that Tarzan finally realizes what he is supposed to be: a Tarzan, with his own special tricks that no one else in the jungle can do. Terk and Tantor save Tarzan and become best friends once again. Tarzan tells Kala that she was right before, and that he is a part of his family. Kala then gives him a hug and tells him how proud she is of him for rescuing her from the two ape brothers, after which Mama Gunda punishes Kago and Uto for destroying Zugor’s tree house and Terk and Tantor are finally reunited with Tarzan.

Plot

From the heart of the jungle comes an action-packed, all-new, never-before-seen movie starring Tarzan… and Jane! Alive with nonstop thrills, irresistible new music, and featuring all your favorite characters from the original Disney hit, the excitement continues in TARZAN and JANE.

As Tarzan and Jane’s first year in the jungle approaches, Jane searches for the perfect gift for Tarzan. She enlists the help of her hilarious gorilla and elephant pals, Terk and Tantor, who they remind her what an exciting year it has been, from outsmarting prowling panthers to surfing lava down an erupting volcano! But that’s nothing compared to what Tarzan has in store for Jane — a surprise that’ll show her just how much he understands her world.

Featuring a new duet of “Two Worlds,” performed by Academy Award winner Phil Collins (1999, Best Original Song, “You’ll Be In My Heart”) and Mandy Moore, Disney’s TARZAN and JANE swings with fun, emotion, and adventure!

Plot

Swing into action and adventure with Disney’s original classic, TARZAN, packed with fun-filled bonus features and award-winning music such as the memorable “You’ll Be In My Heart” and “Trashin’ The Camp.”

Disney’s magnificent animated adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’s story of the ape man begins deep within the jungle when baby Tarzan is adopted by a family of gorillas. Even though he is shunned as a “hairless wonder” by their leader, Tarzan is accepted by the gorillas and raised as one of their own. Together with his wisecracking ape buddy Terk and neurotic elephant pal Tantor, Tarzan learns how to “surf” and swing through the trees and survive in the animal kingdom. His “Two Worlds” collide with the arrival of humans, forcing Tarzan to choose between a “civilized” life with the beautiful Jane and the life he knows and loves with his gorilla family. Filled with humor, heart, and hilarious fun, TARZAN is an unforgettable adventure you’ll watch again and again.

Plot

In 1913, on the night before Jane Porter’s wedding to John Clayton (also known as Tarzan), her bridegroom receives a disturbing vision of his childhood homeland in peril. Much to Jane’s distress, Clayton leaves for Africa to help. The educated explorer Nigel Ravens is seeking the legendary city of Opar, to plunder its ancient treasures. But then Jane decides to follow her fiancé, and he must protect her while trying to stop Ravens and his men.

Plot

Tarzan: The Epic Adventures is a syndicated series that aired for one season (1996–1997). It focuses on the character of Tarzan in his early years, after his first exposure to civilization, but before his marriage to Jane Porter. The series uses much of the mythology of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ books as background material.

This version of Tarzan was filmed in the Sun City resort in South Africa, making it one of the few Tarzan productions to actually film on that continent.[1]

The character of Nicholas Rokoff, and the fact that Tarzan is not yet married, set this series in-between the two halves of The Return of Tarzan.

Plot

Tarzan leaves Africa and goes to present-day New York City to seek vengeance for the murder of his Ape mother Kala, and to rescue Cheeta who was taken by hunters working for the Brightmore Foundation. Soon Tarzan discovers this supposed philanthropic organization is conducting illegal tests on animal brains in an effort to transfer the thoughts and knowledge of one creature to another, and he sets out to rescue the animals and expose Brightmore. He is aided by Jane Porter (a cab driver, played by Kim Crosby) and her father, Archimedes “Archie” Porter (Tony Curtis), a retired police officer, now the head of his own security agency.

With Brightmore’s operations shut down, Jane joins her father’s security agency, and both talk Tarzan into coming onboard at minimum wage, but with all the bananas Cheeta can eat.

Plot

The heir to the Earl of Greystoke (Paul Geoffrey) and his wife Alice (Cheryl Campbell) are marooned in Africa. Lady Greystoke gives birth to a son, then she dies and her husband is killed by an ape. Their infant son is adopted and reared by a family of chimpanzees as he grows up naked, wild, and free.

At age 5, Tarzan (Danny Potts) tries to fit in with his ape family. When a black panther attacks, he manages to learn how to swim in order to evade it while another chimp was killed (humans can swim while great apes can’t).

At age 12, Tarzan (Eric Langlois) discovers the tree-house in which he lived as a baby with his mother and father and finds there a wooden block, with pictures of both a man and a monkey (a chimpanzee) painted on it. It is there, after seeing himself in a mirror, that the physical difference between him and the rest of his ape “family” is discovered more fully. He later discovers a hunting knife and how it works. The objects fascinate the naked ape boy who carries them with him.

Years pass and Tarzan (still naked, but now wearing a hunting belt to hold his hunting knife) becomes the dominant male of the ape group. He protects and shows love toward his adopted “mother”, “father” and siblings. He loses one of them to a bunch of natives where he kills one of them.

Years later, a now half-naked Tarzan (Christopher Lambert) is found by Philippe D’Arnot (Ian Holm) who is injured by natives while exploring the surrounding jungle. Tarzan nurses him back to health and D’Arnot teaches him to speak some rudimentary English, albeit with a French accent. D’Arnot knows of the fate of Earl Greystoke and his wife and convinces “Jean” (the French version of John, the name of his father) as he calls him, to return to England with him to reunite with his family.

On arrival at Greystoke, the family estate, Jean is welcomed by his Grandfather the Earl of Greystoke (Ralph Richardson in his last performance on film) and his ward, a young American woman called Jane (Andie MacDowell). The Earl is now elderly and has obviously suffered at the loss of his son and daughter-in-law years earlier, displaying eccentric behaviour and sometimes forgetting that John is not his grandson, but his son returned.

John finds it difficult to be seen as anything but a novelty by the local social set and some of his behaviour is seen as being somewhat threatening and savage. He befriends a young mentally disabled worker on the estate and in his company is able to revert to the more natural physical manners that he was used to in Africa.

Jane takes it upon herself to try to teach John more English, French and social skills (such as table manners and dancing) and the two become very close, making love one evening in secret.

Lord Greystoke seems to enjoy renewed vigour at the return of his grandson and, reminiscing about his childhood game of using a silver tray as a toboggan to travel down the large flight of stairs in the grand house, does so again with disastrous consequences. He dies, apparently from a head injury, in the arms of his grandson, who displays similar emotion and lack of understanding about death as he does earlier in the story when his ape “mother ” was killed in Africa.

John and Jane become engaged.

At a visit to the National Museum in London John is very disturbed by the crude displays of stuffed animals that he recognises from his upbringing in Africa and, slipping into rooms behind the displays discovers his ape “father” in a cage, having been captured in Africa and brought to England.

They immediately recognise one another and John breaks open the cage and escapes with his ape companion, releasing other caged animals as he does so, pursued by police and museum officials. They make it to a woodland park nearby but the ape is fatally shot and John is devastated to lose yet another whom he loves.

His overall failure to assimilate to human society forces him to make the decision to return to Africa.
