Why We Rated This on for Ages 5 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Responsibilites are often both challenging and rewarding.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Some hunters/poachers cary guns.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Tarzan and Jane learn to live as a happily (and, since it's Disney, chastely) married couple. Tarzan never wears much in the way of clothes.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Disney is always tied to merchandise.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About The Legend of Tarzan

Parents need to know that this jungle-set cartoon is based on the Disney film Tarzan -- which, in turn, was based on the classic 1914 novel Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The series, which has very little objectionable content, continues where the film left off, focusing on themes such as growing up, responsibility, and leadership.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how Tarzan deals with his many responsibilities. As he adjusts to his new roles as husband and ape leader, families can discuss the challenges and frustrations of his new life. Have kids ever felt overwhelmed by the responsibilities that growing up demands? How did they learn to adjust? Why do responsibilities change as you grow up? What are some rewards and challenges that go along with growing up?
