Synopsis

Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle is an animated series created by the Filmation studio for CBS. There are a total of 36 episodes produced over the first four seasons. The series does not appear in the Entertainment Rights library, and the rights most likely rest with the estate of Edgar Rice Burroughs. However, Warner Home Video has released one episode on DVD, "Tarzan and the Colossus of Zome," on Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1970s Volume 1; Warner Bros.' rights to the series may originate from their ownership of international TV distribution rights in the 1970s and 1980s.

Reviews

Marcio The Jungle; here I was born; and here my parents died when I was but an infant. I would have soon perished too, had I not been found by a kindly she-ape named Kala, who adopted me as her own and taught me the ways of the wild. I learned quickly, and grew stronger each day, and now I share the friendship and trust of all jungle animals.The jungle is filled with beauty, and danger; and lost cities filled with good, and evil.This is my domain, and I protect those who come here; for I am Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle. This series of TV was sensational. N'Kira, Gomangani. Great. Another series that liked a lot was " Tarzan NBC series " with Ron Ely.
voicemaster71 I never was really big into Tarzan, but this Saturday morning Cartoon show is among the finest work Filmation ever produced. My top two favorite shows by Filmation were Tarzan: Lord of the Jungle and the New Adventures of Batman, which both aired together in the late 70's and later were both part of the Super 7 shows. Tarzan made me want to go outside and climb the trees in my yard and I was always bummed out that there were no vines to swing on. Filmation's Tarzan made you want to swing from tree to tree in your back yard. These animated shows were brilliant. Tarzan was right at home in the jungle and he spoke perfect English. In the 70's, Super Hero shows were toned down. No violence or fist fights were allowed. Like HeMan after him, Tarzan was one who used his brain before brawn and taught moral lessons. I enjoyed Bob Ridgely as the voice of Tarzan. I remember his best friend was a little monkey named Nikima. The elephants were known as Tantors, lions were Numas, Jadbalja was the golden lion, and gorillas were known as Manganis. I loved a lot of the music used on Tarzan, even though it was the same old stock music used on all their shows. Cheesy as it is now, Tarzan was one of the best Filmation shows ever done and I feel strongly it should be released on DVD. Oddly enough, if you've watched HeMan and the Masters of the Universe, you'll notice that two very active voice overs in supportive or villain roles were Linda Gary and Alan Oppenheimer. "The Jungle, a place of beauty and danger. This is my domain and I protect those who come here. For I am Tarzan Lord of the Jungle." Tarzan from brief intro tag.
grendelkhan I have only vague memories of this show, in it's various incarnations. What I do remember is the great animation (for Filmation, anyway) and the entertaining stories. Despite the prohibitions against violence, Filmation was still able to keep the adventures exciting. The use of rotoscoping, where animation is drawn over film of live action, gave it a more fluid movement. The only real problem was the use of stock footage, to keep the costs down. It tended to make the episodes somewhat repetitive. I do remember that there were many stories about lost civilizations, much like Opar, from the novels. It was a definite change of pace from the typical Saturday-morning fare of the time.It's too bad that Filmation's work is unavailable in the US (except for recent releases of Fat Albert). They produced many great shows, although many were licensed products and not actually owned by the studio. I would love to have DVD's of Tarzan, Flash Gordon, Zorro, Shazam, Isis, Space Sentinels, The Groovie Goolies, and other shows.
Shield-3 This was my first exposure to Tarzan, along with the old Johnny Weismuller movies, although I remember being confused at the differences between the two versions. I preferred my Tarzan `smart,' meaning speaking perfect English, but I always wondered why the cartoon Tarzan didn't carry a knife (thanks, network censors!) But otherwise it was perfect, the kind of show that made me go out in the backyard and do Tarzan yells until I was hoarse. It also made me seek out the Tarzan novels in my school library, and made me a fan of one of fiction's great heroes.I really wish someone would show this series again (Cartoon Network, I'm looking at you!) It had adventure, excitement, fine animation, and it made an excellent introduction to the Tarzan legend. I hope I get to see it again someday.
