As odd as it sounds I rather liked the disney tarzan. It managed to honor the stories despite being kid friendly. Hell the spinoff show even brought in Queen La and had a surprisingly deep discussion on nature vs civilization

To me, the film seems to have been a decent gateway for kids to get into Tarzan and ERB.

Not sure if the music is very "Tarzan-like" but Phil Collins does some catchy stuff.

. Happy belated birthday to Margot Robbie! The film probably did just well enough to consider a sequel, but I'm not sure it would happen in today's market. Warners is finally happy to get a DCU film people seem to like, not sure they'd want to press their luck with another Tarzan, one that might not end up meeting expectations. But I'd be very happy if they did, they did an excellent job combining the Tarzan in the books with modern sensibilities.

The centennial of the first Tarzan film, Tarzan of the Apes, is coming up on January 27.
“WANTED: DIRECTOR and Technical Staff LEADING MAN For the production of the Super-feature ‘Tarzan of the Apes’
From the celebrated novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Director must have proven ability of the highest order. Leading man must be six feet or more in height and athletic in build and by experience. Letters treated in strictest confidence.”
The above advertisement ran in the April 19, 1917 “Motion Picture News” Hollywood trade paper.
After a casting call lasting three months, Stellen S. Windrow was chosen to portray Tarzan in the National Film Corporation’s feature film. Windrow was born September 2, 1893, in Chicago, Illinois to a pair of Swedish physicians, Sven Vindruvva and Anna Mamqvist Holm. A 6’2", 200-pound University of Chicago athlete, Windrow excelled in swimming, track and field, while working summers at Essanay’s Chicago studios.
Unfortunately, Windrow’s Tarzan tenure was cut short when he was drafted for World War I service as he was shooting arboreal sequences in the Louisiana swamps. Although his footage was incorporated into the final film, Windrow was given a $1,000 buyout to remain uncredited, and the role was recast with Hollywood strongman and D.W. Griffith player Elmo Lincoln.

And now also a Golden Globe winner, is this a first that an award winning actor has Tarzan in his pedigree?

Centennial Day has arrived! Tarzan of the Apes hit the silver screen 100 years ago today. ERBzine has a thorough look at it all here: www.erbzine.com/mag5/0503.htmlIt is generally agreed that, despite the technical limitations, this first Tarzan film was the most faithful to the book. We know that ERB thought so. Watch it all here:

We know that ERB thought so. Watch it all here: It’s imteresting how the early films were generally faithful to the books except for Romance of Tarzan. From everything I’ve read about it, they really went out on their own for that one. No wonder they lost it.

I didn't realize the 100th was today - that's what makes this book store find today very thrilling, and chillingly coincidental... $4, on the 100th anniversary - pretty darn cool!
