        • Goofs
          The noises the gorillas make are sounds of chimpanzees. Gorillas' vocalizations are mainly roars, growls, and grunts.
        • Quotes

          Tarzan: No matter where I go, you will always be my mother.

          Kala: And you will always be in my heart.

        • Crazy credits
          During the Walt Disney Pictures opening logo, the background turns into that of a jungle.
        • Alternate versions
          In most foreign prints of the movie (specifically the European Spanish and German versions), "Son of Man" and "Strangers Like Me" replace "You'll Be In My Heart" and "Two Worlds", respectively, in the credits.

        Beautiful animation of familiar story
        A family is shipwrecked and stranded in the jungle. Sabor the leopard kills the parents and Kala the gorilla rescues the baby. Despite leader Kerchak's disapproval, Kala raises the baby naming him Tarzan. Brash gorilla Terk befriends him and they meet fearful elephant Tantor. When Sabor attacks, Tarzan saves Kerchak and the group with his spear. Professor Porter and his daughter Jane are studying the gorillas led by their hunter guide Clayton. Jane is chased by a pack of baboons and Tarzan rescues her. Tarzan becomes torn between the jungle and going with Jane to England.

        The animation is terrific and very energetic. Tarzan swinging in the trees is exciting. The traditional tale is a bit stale and I don't think the montage sequences are that compelling. The Phil Collins music may not be a great fit for a Disney kids movie. Nevertheless this is a good animated movie for the whole family. It has enough excitement and maintains the interest of the audience.
