Spoilers for this film will be marked as usual. However, due to its nature as the sequel to Tarzan, that film's spoilers are unmarked here. You Have Been Warned!Tarzan II is a 2005 Direct to Video Interquel to the Disney Animated Canon film Tarzan, produced by Disneytoon Studios.Tarzan (now voiced by Harrison Chad), seen as a young child, is unsure about his place in the jungle. He can't even run as fast as his gorilla family when chasing the mysterious monster Zugor. Therefore, when his mother Kala (Glenn Close) thinks he died in a river accident, Tarzan thinks he's so isolated from everyone else that running away is the best solution.He finds a place called the Dark Mountain where he meets Zugor (George Carlin) face-to-face, who turns out to be an eclectic monkey who pranks the jungle into thinking he's threatening. Tarzan and Zugor soon bond over feeling like they don't belong, and Tarzan thinks that staying in the Dark Mountain forever isn't a bad idea. When Kala realizes that Tarzan is still alive, she must now team with her family, Terk and Tantor to find Tarzan. Will Tarzan leave his family forever, or could he find purpose back home despite his differences? | |

Small Parent, Huge Child | |
Tarzan II / int_14dca505 | comment |
Small Parent, Huge Child: Uto and Kago are huge gorillas who are huger and more muscular than their mother Gunda (who is also a gorilla). Truth in Television, as male gorillas, even as adolescents, are bigger than females. | |

Mythology Gag: When Zugor tells Tarzan to stay in the far corner of his shelter, Tarzan mutters "Me Tarzan, you grouch", an obvious play on "Me Tarzan, you Jane". | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
Tarzan II / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Zugor. He scares the other animals so that they leave him alone, and is initially very dismissive of Tarzan and insensitive to his problems, but he softens up to the boy once he realizes they are similar. Also, Kerchak. For as much as he dislikes Tarzan, he still consoles a tearful Kala when she assumes that he died. | |

Be Yourself | |
Tarzan II / int_4ae72307 | comment |
Be Yourself: The Aesop of the movie. As Tarzan tries to seek exactly what he is, he is left with the answer he is... a Tarzan, something that is unique and special in itself. Kind of a Broken Aesop, though, since in the first movie, Tarzan being led to believe that he was a unique kind of ape and being swayed away from trying to act too much like the others was portrayed as a bad thing when Tarzan encountered creatures that were much more like him; he even got mad at Kala for not telling him that such creatures existed. | |
