The Legend of Tarzan is an animated television series created by The Walt Disney Company in 2000, based on the Tarzan character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Initially meant as Toon Disney's first original series (though ultimately shunted to UPN's "Disney's One Too" lineup), it also appeared on Jetix in India. The Legend of Tarzan picks up where Disney's feature film left off, with the title character adjusting to his new role as leader of the apes (following Kerchak's death), and Jane (whom he's since married) adjusting to life in the jungle. Animation refers to the process in which each frame of a film or movie is produced individually, whether generated as a computer graphic, or by photographing a drawn image, or by repeatedly making small changes to a model (see claymation and stop motion), and then photographing the result. ...

Head Characters:

Tarzan and Jane - While Tarzan helps Jane get over her more romantic ideas about jungle life, Jane acts as his guide to the duplicity in human nature -- and insists he eat his food from a plate. It is a never-ending growth process for both, with some startling insights into what "civilized" means, and some uproarious stumbling blocks along the way. James H. Pierce and Joan Burroughs Pierce starred in the 1932-34 Tarzan radio series Tarzan, a character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, first appeared in the 1914 novel Tarzan of the Apes, and then in twenty-three sequels. ... Tarzan and Jane as portrayed by James H. Pierce and Joan Burroughs Pierce; they starred in the 1932-34 Tarzan radio series Jane Porter is a major character in Edgar Rice Burroughss series of Tarzan novels. ...

Terk - Terk loves the spotlight, and she's perfect "big sister" material for Tarzan -- protective, concerned, and absolutely convinced that Tarzan can't survive without her. Terk loves telling Tarzan what to do -- that is, until Tarzan's physical strength proves he can hold her in a headlock instead! Even though Terk is a bit bossy at times, Tarzan knows it's because Terk cares. Just don't try to get her to admit it. That's another story. Terk is an animated female gorilla, a character in the cartoon Disney version of Tarzan and the animated TV series The Legend of Tarzan. ...

Tantor - "Someone's gonna get hurt, and it's always me!" That's Tantor's rallying cry. Despite his size and relative stature within the jungle kingdom Tantor the elephant is a chicken. Bacteria, pond scum -- you name it, he's afraid of it. But when it comes to helping Tarzan in trouble, Tantor shows know-it-all Terk a thing or two in the bravery department and leads the way. Charge!

Kala - If his woes become too great or his thoughts too burdensome, Tarzan seeks seclusion and the calm council of his mother, Kala. A sympathetic ear when Tarzan needs someone wise to talk to, Kala acts as the voice of the apes, always reminding Tarzan of his unique obligations to the family. She is also Jane's closest confidant. The two share a warm, strong bond, and Jane regards her mother-in-law as her only kindred spirit in the jungle. From Kala's point of view, Jane is the human daughter she never had.

Professor Archimedes Q. Porter - Father of Jane, Professor Porter is a noted scientist with years of expertise studying gorillas, though he's never seen one in the wild. Sometimes the kindhearted professor gets so absorbed in his thinking that he simply forgets what he's doing. Jane doesn't bat an eye at her father's eccentric antics -- she's used to them and shares his enthusiasm. When they both finally meet the gorillas, it's the fulfillment of a lifelong dream -- even if the professor does faint at the sight!

Recurring Characters:

Flynt and Mungo - Clueless ape brothers Flynt and Mungo have grown up along with Tarzan, but they're still as dopey as ever. Maybe it's too much self-inflicted head trauma from playing their childhood game "Stop hitting yourself," but their IQ's don't seem to have improved with time. The brothers don't mean any harm, but likely as not their dumb behavior is bound to give Tarzan some serious headaches as he flies to save them -- and protect the pack -- from danger. IQ redirects here; for other uses of that term, see IQ (disambiguation). ...

Manu - A mischievous baby baboon, who is fascinated with humans, and when no one is looking he is irresistibly drawn to rummaging through their belongings and trying on their clothes. He may even run off with a shiny keepsake or two. Like an inquisitive kid, he leaves a mess behind, which means a red-faced Tarzan and the other family members are usually stuck with cleaning up after him. Type Species Simia hamadryas Linnaeus, 1758 Species Papio hamadryas Papio papio Papio anubis Papio cynocephalus Papio ursinus The baboons are some of the largest non-hominid members of the primate order; only the Mandrill and the Drill are larger. ...

Renard Dumont - Slick, opportunistic French proprietor of "Dumont's Trading Post" (est. 1912) whose lust for material gain is compromised only by his persistent attempts to, through oily charm and token gestures, lure Jane from her cozy life with Tarzan.

Hugo and Hooft - Loose caricatures (though not in appearance) of Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, circa the "Road to" series. Deserters of the French Foreign Legion, these Americans now work for Dumont, though they still have the occasional run-in with Lt. Colonel Staquait (their former superior), who considers their insubordination (refusal to raze a village of women and children) a capital offense. Bob Hope, KBE, KCSG, (May 29, 1903 – July 27, 2003), born Leslie Townes Hope, was a famous British-born American entertainer who appeared in vaudeville, on Broadway, on radio and television, in movies, and in performing tours for U.S. Military personnel. ...

Queen La - In the original novels a high priestess of a blood cult who fell in love with Tarzan. In her adaption for the series, she is a sexy, utterly vicious sorceress who rules over the abandoned city of Opar, where she lords over the Leopard Men, leopards whom she has changed into humanoid form to serve her. She falls in love with Tarzan after he comes to rescue Jane's father from the Panthermen, who were capturing males as potential husbands for La. Her attempts to seduce Tarzan fail every time, as his loyalty is firmly with Jane, and in almost every encounter, La is trying to kill Jane and take Tarzan for herself.
