The film takes place over the course of 20 years, from when Tarzan is a baby to when Tarzan is, well, a 20 year old man. Sabor is around at the beginning, and still around (and dangerous) by the time Tarzan is fully grown.
In The Return of Tarzan, Tarzan and Jane marry. In later books, he lives with her for a time in England. They have one son, Jack, who takes the ape name Korak (the Killer).
Tarzan is a U rated film so suitable for all the family. It's an animated film that sometimes is happy and sometimes is very sad and emotional. To sum this film up in three words I would say it is adventurous, funny and romantic.
Director Chris Buck confirms that, in his mind, the sisters in ''Frozen'' (left) are the older sisters of Tarzan (right). The theory first got attention when the directors dropped a major hint during a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" session last year.
“Tarzan of the Apes” was the creation of Edgar Rice Burroughs, but he may have gotten his inspiration for the character from the Fourteenth Earl of Streatham. In 1868, a young English nobleman named William Mildin was shipwrecked off the African Coast. The 11-year-old boy was apparently adopted by monkeys (apes?).
Tarzan (White-skin) is his ape name; his English name is John Clayton, Lord Greystoke (the formal title is Viscount Greystoke according to Burroughs in Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle; Earl of Greystoke in later, non-canonical sources, notably the 1984 movie Greystoke).

Originally, Terk was going to be a male like in the books but was changed to a female after Rosie O'Donnell's audition. Coincidentally, Chris Rock was offered the role of Terk, but turned it down. In the musical, like in the books, Terk is portrayed as a male (originally portrayed by Chester Gregory) and he is a tenor.
"How strong is Tarzan exactly??" The man can deadlift a possible 250lbs Jaguar over his head, bare handed climb up a RAGING waterfall, he lifted a full grown sinking Elephant by its trunk in the water, and caught a falling woman BY his feet! He can also hold back a 350lbs SILVERBACK!!
Entertaining and some good role models but scary for younger kids. Since this movie is rated G, I thought it would be fine for my nearly 6 year old and it was certainly a fun movie to watch but had some scary elements that would give me pause to recommend for his age group.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A leopard chases a baby gorilla and then -- it is implied but not seen -- she eats it. The same leopard chases a human baby (with a similar nutritional intent in mind) during an extended scene, wounds a large gorilla, and eventually fights Tarzan who's armed with a spear.
Both characters have two daughters (Agnarr is the father to Elsa and Anna, while Big Bob is the father to Olga and Helga).

The character's background included his birth in Africa, becoming an orphan, and then raised by apes. His real name was given to him as John Clayton, but since he was brought up by an ape family, they named him Tarzan, which meant “white skin.”
