Adapted from Edgar Rice Burroughs' popular stories, it is the story of human child orphaned in the jungles of Africa and found and raised by a family of apes. Structured in two parts, the first portion of the story centers around the young ape boy's struggle to understand his differences from his family, while the second portion complicates that struggle with the introduction of an older Tarzan to a father-daughter team of human explorers and their ruthless protector, Clayton. While the sight of others like him is a startling one, it is the fair young woman, Jane, who most interests Tarzan and as the story develops, his feelings for her puts him in conflict with his family, which views the strangers as a threat.

From beginning to end, Tarzan is packed with action from one riveting scene to the next. One thing that can be said for the movie is that something exciting is constantly unfolding on the screen, amplified by beautifully animated scenery that fully realizes the potential of computer use in traditional animation (courtesy of the "deep canvas process" that was cultivated for this film). Another is that it is effectively poignant in its exploration of identity and of relationships, both familial and romantic. That's accomplished in spite of the title character having relatively little dialogue because, even without words, Tarzan is a commanding lead.
