Tarzan

Tarzan and Jane find themselves pulled into a fresh clash when a ruthless corporate CEO seizes control of Greystoke Energies and sends in a mercenary army to secure its jungle interests. This reimagining brings Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic hero to a new generation through bright 3D animation. Raised by apes and at home in the wild, Tarzan must balance loyalty to his jungle family with the human world's pressures embodied by Greystoke's exploitation schemes. As danger closes in, Jane teams with Tarzan to uncover a perilous plot that links together the company's ambitions and Tarzan's family legacy after a plane crash claimed his parents in the place he calls home. The tone mixes mythic adventure with brisk action.

Released in 2013 and directed by Reinhard Klooss, this 3D animated take on Tarzan reimagines the Burroughs legend for a modern family audience while sticking to the jungle setting and classic dynamic between Tarzan and Jane.

Worldwide, the film grossed 44,095,996, marking a modest yet respectable return for a non major studio animation. It found audiences in family friendly markets and performed better on home video releases. The film also found international audiences through festival showings.

Reception & Themes: The movie drew mixed feedback from critics and fans, reflected by a mid range audience score around 5.66 out of 10 from 613 votes. It leans into themes of loyalty and belonging, while contrasting Tarzan and Jane’s partnership with the looming pressure of a ruthless corporate empire that values power over nature.

Cultural Impact: The Tarzan 2013 release left a modest footprint in pop culture. It did not yield widely quoted lines or become a go to reference, and its influence is mostly limited to fans of animated adventure. In the broader Tarzan canon it sits as a mid tier entry rather than a defining adaptation.
