TARZAN II takes us back to Tarzan's youth, and delves into the outsider status that the human Tarzan always faced in a family of gorillas. Following a series of misunderstandings and a near escape from death, the young Tarzan fears that his physical inadequacies endanger the safety of the group, and runs away from his family. In the jungle, he discovers an isolated old gorilla named Zugor (voiced by George Carlin). While this grumpy old Oz has long foisted a reign of imaginary terror on the neighborhood, Tarzan threatens to expose Zugor unless he will befriend and apprentice Tarzan. Needless to say, the growth that ensues is two-sided: Zugor agrees to help Tarzan discover what type of animal he really is, and Tarzan provides Zugor with the care and friendship he has missed throughout his life.
