The Legend of Tarzan is an American animated television series created by The Walt Disney Company in 2001, based on the Tarzan character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The series aired on ABC from July 13 to September 7, 2002 as part of its "Disney's One Saturday Morning" lineup. It was initially meant as first original series though ultimately shunted to UPN's "Disney's One Too" lineup. The Legend of Tarzan picks up where the 1999 feature film left off, with the title character adjusting to his new role as leader of the apes following Kerchak's death, and Jane adjusting to life in the jungle. Rounding out the cast are Jane's father, Professor Archimedes Porter; Tantor, the germophobic elephant; and Terk, a wisecracking female gorilla and Tarzan's old wrestling buddy.

The Legend of Tarzan Audience Reviews

Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
OmegaWolf747 The only thing I can find wrong with Disney's Legend of Tarzan is it's not long enough. Only one season! Come on, give us more! This series picks up right where the movie left off and shows Jane adjusting to life as Tarzan's mate and the gorillas adjusting to having a human for a leader. Turk isn't too warm to Jane just at first because Jane can't keep up with the gorillas and takes up almost all of Tarzan's attention. Tantor meanwhile loves to partner up with Jane's father Archimedese Q. Porter (Archie) and assist him in his scientific experiments.Many cool characters are introduced including the slimy trading post operator, Renard Dumont, who's always flirting with Jane and ticking Tarzan off, Queen La who turns Dumont into an animal (I forget what kind), the leopard men and my favorite, the dinosaurs of Palusidar (sp?).I love how the characters interact with each other. The relationships are pretty much the same as they were in the movie, except that you see how the characters grow closers to each other as they come to know and love one another.As was said, the only way this could've been better is if there's been more episodes.
raysond The only Disney series that was taken from the books from Edgar Rice Burroughs and brought up to par from the classic movies and the mid-1960's TV show of the same title. Very impressive. Lots of action,and a surprise twist during some of the episodes in which Tarzan saved the day and maintains law and order in the jungle along with Jane,Jane's father and some impressive animal friends. It shows also that Tarzan and Jane worked as a couple and also maintaining a beautiful lifestyle for themselves against the hidden dangers that surround them,but as always they overcome the expected. I would put this second to Disney's Buzz Lightyear as one of the better shows on the channel. Grand style of adaption from a great Disney animated movie of the same title.
maxvaughn This show is terrific! It's funny and full of new characters who are barrowed from the original Tarzan stories. It shows that there is life/adventure after marriage for a Disney couple. Okay, so the animation isn't the greatest, but the voices wonderful. The replacements for Tarzan, Jane, Terk, and Tantor do a job worthy of the big screen film. I recommend this cartoon for anyone who loves a good adventure and anyone who has read the Edgar Rice Burroughs's books.
dootuss For quite a time it seemed Disney was wasting good money to make bad cartoons for t.v. (like the new Doug, and Pepper Ann) but i was impressed with Buzz Lightyear, and i'm also impressed with the legend of Tarzan. The show features Tarzan, Jane, Jane's father, Tantor the elephant and Tarzan's ape friends. In each episode, they might face a villian or a common problem in the Jungle mainly animals that pose as a threat,or poachers for that matter. The action is pretty good and the show has some decent animation. If you liked the movie, you'll probably like this show. But don't expect a lot of thing that happened in the movie though (like the tree surfing, though you'll see that a few times on the show).
