comment
In 1999, Golden Films released a film they had made two years prior in time for another adaptation of the same beloved story: Tarzan of the Apes. In contrast to the Disney film, this production more or less follows the original book but it is, for the most part, a Lighter and Softer adaptation.

comment
Non-Indicative Name: While "Brown Apes" and "Grey Apes" would imply the two tribes are based on fur color, many of both tribes don't have the indicative fur color with Kerchak, Leader of the Brown Apes, having orange fur, and Bolgani, Leader of the Grey Apes, having black fur.

Adaptational Alternate Ending: In the original ending, Tarzan gives up on pursuing Jane and would only be with her later. However, since the couple is iconic, this film has Jane go with Tarzan.

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Kerchak's apes have brown fur (though a few of them, like Kala, are white-furred), whereas Bolgani's apes have dark grey fur.

comment
Truer to the Text: As strange as it is, this film pretty much covers many of the episodes from the original novel: the marooning of the Claytons, Sabor's attack at the water hole, Tarzan following Jane to Baltimore, it is all there. Kerchak being depicted as a villain is also truer to the original novel.

Dies Differently in Adaptation
 Tarzan of the Apes / int_c181a846
comment
Dies Differently in Adaptation: Tarzan's biological father John dies because of an illness rather him being killed by Kerchak. Illness was how his mother Alice died in the original novel making it the exact same.
