Why We Rated This on for Ages 6 and Up

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Tarzan's new friend, Zugor, uses trickery and deceit to maintain a comfortable lifestyle -- though he ultimately takes responsibility for the care of others.
  • Violence & scariness:

    Most of the violence is of the slapstick variety (think Three Stooges), though one young gorilla has a 'tendency to violent,' which takes the form of breaking rocks against his head, threatening to throw Tarzan off a cliff, and generally wreaking havoc. No serious injuries, however.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    One brief sequence includes a gorilla version of 'playing the dozens,' hilariously insulting one another about their appearances.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Tarzan II

Parents need to know that while this movie never commits to tragedy or loss in the way that Disney movies like Bambi or The Lion King do, the possibilities of losing someone in your family or feeling alienated from a social group are still strongly expressed in this film.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about what their unique skills and talents are, and the importance of trying to figure out what they are good at and enjoy. Since the trickster character Zugor uses deceit to scare away other animals, it may be important to address the acceptable and unacceptable ways of getting what we want. Families may also want to talk about the relationship between the irrational (though real) fear we have of imaginary monsters and the fears we have about whether we are good enough.
