Synopsis
A child grows up in Africa after his parents are shipwrecked, build a home, and then are killed by Sabor, a leopard. The child is found by a mother ape, Kala, who lost her child to Sabor and takes the child in as her own and names him Tarzan. He grows up with the family of apes though he is never accepted by the Kerchek (the leader). Other humans come to the Africa in search of ape families, a scientist and his daughter, Jane. Tarzan is intrigued by them because they look just like him versus his ape family. He meets Jane and begins to learn the human language and their ways of life, wanting to know more.
Review
This film is adventurous and fun for the family. It has beautiful music and teaches about how you can still be a family and love each other even if you look different from each other because you both have a heart and love for each other.
This is a good film for children, especially if they are struggling due to looking different than their parents or siblings, teaching them that you may look different or act different but you are family. There may be mild moments of scary elements.
