#Young tarzan series#
In a non-zoology-related example, the book series was filled with serial-style adventures, including sci-fi and fantasy elements.Disney presumably changed this to reflect how science has marched on since the days of Burroughs, revealing gorillas to be Gentle Giants. In the books, he is raised by "Mangani", a fictional ape species, while gorillas are Always Chaotic Evil. In the film, Tarzan is raised by gorillas.Here he's the villain and unrelated to Tarzan. Adaptational Villainy: In the books, William Clayton is Tarzan's cousin and is only looking for proof of Tarzan's father's death so he can inherit the family title, Lord Greystoke, and, finding Tarzan uninterested in returning to England or claiming the title himself, claims Tarzan died with them, and doesn't do anything villainous.Adaptational Nationality: Jane is American in the books (and pretty much every other adaptation), but British here.Here, while he disapproves of Tarzan, he is actually a stern but benevolent leader of the gorillas. Adaptational Heroism: Kerchak was a monstrous Killer Gorilla in the book.Acoustic License: Lil' baby Tarzan must have some monstrously powerful lungs such that Kala can hear his crying coming from the top of the treehouse, across the rope bridge, through the jungle, and all the way to her while she's standing next to a waterfall.Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene: When Kala takes Tarzan to his parents' treehouse.Accidental Suicide: During the final battle, Clayton gets tangled in a mass of jungle vines and tries to hack them away with his machete, but one vine gets caught around his neck and he ends up accidentally hanging himself.2D Visuals, 3D Effects: Much of the scenery, though it's integrated well thanks to the revolutionary "Deep Canvas" process.Kerchak despises the human for his appearance, but Kala decides to raise him anyway, naming him "Tarzan". Action ensues and Kala saves the boy from Sabor. As she enters, she sees blood-covered paw prints and the dead parents, also the predator's victims. Some time later, she hears a baby's cries and stumbles upon the now-abandoned treehouse.

The peace is soon shattered when their child is killed by the vicious leopard Sabor, and Kala is left devastated.

At the same time, a gorilla named Kala and her mate Kerchak live peacefully with an infant child. Using the remains of the ship, they build a new home in a large tree while they await rescue. The film opens in the late 1860s note or the late 1880s/early 1890s, as noted in the original novel, where an English couple and their infant son are the only survivors of a shipwreck off the coast of uncharted Darkest Africa. note BLESSED also provides Tarzan's signature yell.
