Tarzan continued to be a viable property, though many subsequent interpretations leave a great deal to be desired. Joe Lara starred in modern day tale entitled TARZAN IN MANHATTAN (1989). With Jane a cab driver and her a father a private detective (played by an aging Tony Curtis, who should have known better), the less said about the movie the better. After a more successful syndicated series starring Wolf Larson ran from 1991-1994, Lara returned to the role. TARZAN: THE EPIC ADVENTURES lasted 26 episodes in 1996. The series borrowed heavily from much of Burroughs’ original works, but low budgets kept the series from ever taking full advantage of the author’s broad imagination.

[T]his latest Tarzan has some things going for him that poor old Elmo couldn't even have imagined. He has muscles that look like they just stepped out of an Abdominizer ad and a waistline Calista Flockhart would simply die for. More importantly, he has sound. This new Tarzan not only speaks, but he has Phil Collins to write songs for him.

Tarzan, a fictional character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, first appeared in the 1912 novel Tarzan of the Apes, and then in twenty-three sequels. He is the son of a British Lord and Lady, marooned on the coast of Africa by mutineers. His parents died when he was an infant, and he was raised by Great Apes of a species unknown to science. Kala is his ape mother. Tarzan (White-skin) is his ape name; his English name is John Clayton, Lord Greystoke. As a young adult, he meets Jane, and when she returns to America he leaves the jungle in search of his true love.

Tarzan first encounters Sora in his former treehouse home, being attacked by the leopard Sabor. Tarzan managed to chase off Sabor and became friends with Sora, through a difficult conversation due to Tarzan's limited vocabulary. Sora asks for Tarzan's help to locate Riku and Kairi, although Tarzan doesn't really understands. He leads Sora through the jungle's depths to an encampment where Sora meets Tarzan's friend, Jane, who is surprised to see Sora. Clayton, a hunter who brought Jane to the jungle, attempts yet again to perusade Tarzan to show them the location the gorillas. Tarzan... cannot do it as the leader of the gorillas, Kerchak, is distrustful of the humans.
