Tarzan

Orphaned as a baby, Tarzan is adopted by a family of gorillas and grows up in the jungle as one of their own.

He learns to "surf" and swing through the trees and has fun with his pals Terk the ape and Tantor the elephant. One day a group of humans arrive in the jungle, led by Clayton, along with Commander Porter and his daughter Jane. He and Jane fall in love and he is forced to choose between a life with her and life as he knows it in the jungle with his gorilla family.

88 minutes long.
