Quotes

TARZAN: No matter where I go, you will always be my mother.
KALA: And you will always be in my heart.

TARZAN: Terk, I'm asking you as a friend.
TERK: Oh, with the face and the eyes... All right!
TARZAN: Jane. JANE PORTER: Exactly.

TERK: What kind of animal are you? TANTOR: You know, I've been thinking lately that Tarzan may be some sub-species of elephant.

TARZAN: It's very nice. JANE PORTER: Oh, thank you. I can't do a thing with it in this humidity and - you do speak? And all this time I thought you were this big, wild, quiet, silent, person-thing!

Trivia

Tarzan has been adapted from its book many times over the years and is second only to Dracula in the adaptation chart.
To see how Tarzan's body would move while sliding down a log, the animators based his movement on that of pro skateboarder Tony Hawk while on his skateboard.
One of the main reasons why animation was chosen as the perfect way to execute a Tarzan story was because the character is so lithe and animal-like, it would have been nearly impossible to achieve those effects with live action.
The signature "Tarzan yell" is provided by Brian Blessed, the voice of the film's villain Clayton.
The Disney animators actually hired a professor of anatomy to consult with them over Tarzan's musculature. He would superimpose the correct type of muscles over their drawings to help show them how to depict a man at the peak of his physical prowess.
