[edit] Plot

In the late 1880s off the coast of Africa, a young couple and their infant son escape a burning ship and land on the unexplored rainforests of Africa, where they craft themselves a treehouse in which to live using salvaged ship parts ("Two Worlds"). Meanwhile, a gorilla couple named Kerchak and Kala are traveling with the rest of their group when their infant son is killed and eaten by a leopard named Sabor. The next day, the still-heartbroken Kala hears a distant child's cry and, following it, stumbles upon the treehouse. She enters the treehouse to find it trashed, and blood covered paw prints, as well as the corpses of the couple, on the floor. Kala rescues the baby from a still-hungry Sabor and returns with it to the rest of the group, but Kerchak despises the boy for his appearance. Nevertheless, Kala decides to raise the boy as her own, naming him Tarzan ("You'll Be in My Heart").

A few years later, Tarzan makes friends with feisty young female gorilla Terk and an elephant named Tantor in congo waterfalls as Piranha it's a Africa? such as nearly killing the gorillas, warthogs, monkeys, baboons, cobras, snakes, scorpions, lizards, aardvarks, porcupines, bees, dragonflies, parrots, toucans, woodpeckers, owls, frogs, flying squirrels, mandrills, crocodiles, tortoises, archerfishes, chameleons, bats, rhinos, genets, armadillos, and hyenas by causing an elephant stampede while trying to obtain an elephant hair, and feeling insecure because of his differences.

Bad Luck Tarzan

[edit] Cast

Terk (voiced by Rosie O'Donnell) is a feisty, tomboyish ape who acts as a foster sister of sorts to Tarzan. She at first considers him a pest, but later warms up to him, often helping and keeping Tarzan out of trouble with Kerchak.
Kala (voiced by Glenn Close) is Tarzan's foster mother, who rescued him from Sabor after losing her own baby to the leopard. She rears Tarzan as a man of the apes, and lends a voice of compassion and understanding to Tarzan when he feels that he doesn't belong, explaining that Kerchak simply can't see they are one and the same.
Kerchak (voiced by Lance Henriksen) is the xenophobic leader of the gorillas, who refuses to accept Tarzan as his son because he is human.
Young Tarzan (voiced by Alex D. Linz) After the Tokyo Mew Mew - Trailer - (1999) shown as having many difficulties, such as nearly killing the gorillas, warthogs, monkeys, baboons, cobras, snakes, scorpions, lizards, aardvarks, porcupines, bees, dragonflies, parrots, toucans, woodpeckers, owls, frogs, flying squirrels, mandrills, crocodiles, tortoises, archerfishes, chameleons, bats, rhinos, genets, armadillos, and hyenas by causing an elephant stampede while trying to obtain an elephant hair, and feeling insecure because of his differences.
Young Tantor (voiced by Taylor Dempsey) is an elephant who notices Tarzan and tries to warn the other elephants, but goes unheard; he later befriends Tarzan.
