Trivia

When one of the gorillas takes Clayton's gun to examine it, he holds it up and stares down the barrel, in exactly the same pose as one of the apes at Disneyland's "Jungle Cruise" attraction. See more »

Goofs

Tarzan takes place in Africa, but Sabor is clearly a jaguar, a big cat found only in South and Central America. Most likely the makers of the movie intended to portray a leopard. Jaguars, however, have larger rosettes which contain smaller black spots whereas leopards are marked by smaller, empty rosettes. The two animals can also be distinguished by the way they are built, with the jaguar being a heavier built cat with a broader head and shorter tail than the leopard. See more »

23 September 1999 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

This is a great film, it moves right along fast, has great characters, action, voice, music is just right, great animation, you name it. Lives up to the Tarzan heritage and then some. I highly recommend this one.

Definitely something to jump up and down about.
