What Parents Need to Know
About Tarzan
Parents need to know that this movie starts with the death of a baby Tarzan's parents. It's done subtly and off-screen, but you do see a tiger walk away with bloody paws. Fast-paced animal chase scenes are also featured. Hunters brandish guns and try to shoot Tarzan's animal friends.

A great fasamily film
The violence in this movie was very necessary for the making. I loved the part where the guy was hanged by the vines. I think that any kid who watches this can learn about death and that it really does happen. They don't have to be censored from these things because it's very educational and proper for growing minds. This was a great movie and most importantly, a classic.

Very Violent for young chikdren
Horribly violent for a G rated cartoon! We didn't even finish watching the monkey killing with our 6 year old! Never been so appalled in my life!

Totally un-necessary violence!
I was completely offended by the violence in this movie! Not only does it start off with a baby gorilla being eaten by a predator (the camera is on the mommy gorilla while the baby screams), but there is also a hut full of bloody footprints when she later finds the baby Tarzan. What really did it for me though, was the death of the "bad guy" who is hanged by vines after fighting with Tarzan. Although you don't see the actual death, there is a very convienent lightning flash where you see the shadow of him hanging by the neck. Disney should be ashamed.

Decent Kids movie
Tarzan is good for older kids, but I felt it inappropriate for my 5 year old. Too many questions that should wait.
