2001 TV Series – The Legend of Tarzan

The Legend Of Tarzan is an American animated television series produced by Walt Disney Television Animation, based on Tarzan from the novels written by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the character’s original creator who appears in one episode of the series. The series is also based on the film Tarzan by Walt Disney Pictures and aired initially on the Disney’s One Too block on UPN. However, reruns were broadcast shortly after on Disney Channel.

The series picks up where the 1999 feature film left off, with the title character adjusting to his new role as leader of the gorilla family following Kerchak’s death, along with Jane (whom he has since married) and her father, Professor Archimedes Q. Porter, adjusting to life in the jungle. The three now reside in the treehouse built by Tarzan’s original human parents.
