comment |
Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle was the first animated presentation of the work of Edgar Rice Burroughs, courtesy of Filmation (1976). It tended to be a more faithful rendition of the books than the old movies were, due to the fact that the writers on Filmation's staff at the time, including Paul Dini, had actually read them. Tarzan's visual character design is based on that of Burne Hogarth's classic Tarzan newspaper comic strip.Starting in 1980, it aired together with Filmation's The Lone Ranger as the Tarzan/Lone Ranger Adventure Hour, and then in 1981 with The New Adventures of Zorro to make the Tarzan/Lone Ranger/Zorro Adventure Hour. |

Misplaced Wildlife: Mostly averted. Filmation sticks mainly to African species. |

Adaptation Deviation |
| | Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle / int_23a1e2a9 |
comment |
Adaptation Deviation: In the book, The City of Gold is named Cathne. In the episode "Tarzan and the City of Gold", it's been renamed to Zandor, presumably to avoid confusion with Athne, the City of Ivory, as they sound too similar. Instead of a man named Valthor, the Athnean that Tarzan meets is a woman named Thea. Valthor was rescued from bandits, while Thea is rescued from a trio of gorillas. |

Gratuitous Foreign Language |
| | Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle / int_2fcf9bbc |
comment |
Gratuitous Foreign Language: Tarzan often uses Mangani words when speaking to animals, like "Kagoda Kal-an" when telling the Bolgani to release a human woman, and "Unk" when telling a lion or leopard to "go". |

Signature Roar |
| | Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle / int_67529a41 |
comment |
Signature Roar: Danton S. Burroughs, Edgar Rice Burroughs' grandson, rather than Robert Ridgely, Tarzan's voice actor, did a fairly decent "Tarzan yell", though it was less throaty and more "musical" than the one used by Johnny Weissmuller. |

Truer to the Text: Tarzan speaks intelligently, the language of the Mangani is incorporated beyond the protagonist's name, the sidekick is Nkima rather than Cheetah, and lost cities from the original book series appear, in addition to original creations, as well as some adaptations of the original books. |
