Author Edgar Rice Burroughs once suggested that animation would be the ideal medium to bring his Tarzan to the screen, and 81 years after the first film about the famous ape-man, Disney brings us the first full-length animated film starring the King of the Jungle.

After a disaster at sea causes their ship to sink off the coast of Africa, a British couple finds their way to shore with their infant son in tow.

However, the parents are killed by a leopard, leaving the baby to fend for himself.

The child is discovered by a gorilla named Kala (voice of Glenn Close), mate of Kerchak (voice of Lance Henriksen), the leader of the tribe of apes.

While Kerchak is taken aback by the foundling and would just as soon leave him in the jungle, Kala's maternal nature is stirred, not to mention her memories of losing her own parents as a child.

Kala and Kerchak take the baby with them, naming him Tarzan and raising him among their own.
