Tarzán is a French-Canadian-Mexican series that ran from 1991 to 1994, based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan. The series was created for the syndication market and produced 75 episodes over 3 seasons. The show starred Wolf Larson as Tarzan and Lydie Denier as Jane, as the two deal with the day-to-day adventures of the jungle. The stories also tended to feature environmental messages about awareness of endangered species and the dangers of pollution.Not to be confused with the 1966-1968 series of the same name. See the other TV series based on Tarzan: Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, Tarzan: The Epic Adventures and The Legend of Tarzan. | |

Age Lift | |
| Tarzán (1991) / int_121b3725 | comment |
Age Lift: Tarzan's parents died when he was a little boy rather than when he was a year old like in Tarzan of the Apes. Likewise, he is now 28 or 29 when he first meets Jane, rather than 18. | |

Defrosting Ice Queen: "Tarzan and the Rock Star" is all about Star Riley, a famous rock star, finding herself trapped in the jungle during a storm. She acts spoiled and bitchy until Tarzan helps humble her and she finally becomes nicer to everyone. | |

Even Evil Has Standards | |
| Tarzán (1991) / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: Averted. Gordon Shaw attempts to pass himself as a man with standards in Tarzan the Hunted, frowning upon the use of automatic rifles with telescopic sights while considering the bow more than equal. Tarzan shatters this lie to pieces by pointing out it is not equal unless the person has no weapon. This lie gets shattered even when Shaw tells Tarzan of his intentions to hunt him with the latter having no weapons. | |

Adaptational Heroism: All for a character who does not make a physical appearance. Kerchak did not kill Tarzan's father, instead both of his parents died in a plane crash, also he is spoken of more admirably by Tarzan, referring to him as the one who taught him his cry and while he did have his rages, he never sought revenge when Tarzan stabbed him in Kala's defense. | |

Evil Poacher: Three examples with Cordell Winslow, Bruno Valletti and Jack Travers. Winslow and Valletti are both implied to be commercial poachers with the black market coming up in relation to the latter and Winslow also participating in artifact theft while with Travers, whose plots vary from episode to episode, has only dabbled in wildlife trafficking, specifically in the episode Tarzan and the Savage Storm. | |

Earthy Barefoot Character | |
| Tarzán (1991) / int_8ddd2bb5 | comment |
Earthy Barefoot Character: (Subverted) Tarzan is normally depicted as an this in his other encarnations. He even played the Prefers Going Barefoot trope completely strait in the 1951 radio drama, but in this television series, he opts for a pair of moccasin boots. Sheena (Another iconic jungle barefooter) would do the same in her own short lived television series shortly after this. | |

| Tarzán (1991) / int_fdc1e848 | comment |
Will They or Won't They?: The series doesn't outright make the two leads a couple, unlike other adaptions of the characters. Romantic attractions are made explicitly clear, but the episode "Tarzan and the Ring of Romance" establishes that Tarzan will only become Jane's mate if she stays with him in the jungle forever and she hesitates to make such a commitment. | |
