1. Clayton With A Rifle Coloring PDF
Clayton may be the villain of the film, but he’s one of those bad guys you can’t completely hate thanks to his charm and his sarcastic wit.
He was portrayed by legendary English actor Brian Blessed. He shares more in common with the explorer Clayton than you may think!
Brian has gone on many adventures in real life, including several attempts to climb Mount Everest and surviving a plane crash in a Venezuelan jungle.
Someone should make a movie based on his life!
2. Jane Drawing Plants In Her Sketchbook
3. Jane Standing Beside Tarzan
You’d never expect a man raised by gorillas and a sophisticated woman from England to fall in love, but that’s exactly what happens in the film!
Jane was a character from the original stories by Edgar Rice Burroughs and appeared in many of his tales.
She’s a celebrated character, as she progresses from being a damsel in distress to a much more courageous person as the stories progress.
4. Kala The Gorilla Holding Baby Tarzan
5. Kerchak Watching Over The Gorillas
Kerchak is the strong and stern leader of the ape clan that takes in Tarzan. He’s initially reluctant to look after the young human, but eventually begrudgingly agrees to it.
Despite how many times the Tarzan stories have been adapted into films and other media, the 1999 Disney version was the first animated adaptation.
The filmmakers thought that animation was perfect to explore the relationship between Tarzan and the animals in a more complex way.
6. Sabor The Leopard Hiding In Tall Grass
7. Tantor The Elephant Looking Nervous
Tantor may be a bit anxious and cowardly, but he’s still a great friend to Tarzan from childhood to adulthood.
He was voiced by the comedic actor Wayne Knight, known for roles such as Newman in Seinfeld and Dennis Nedry from Jurassic Park.
The role was originally intended for director and actor Woody Allen, but he turned down the film to act in Antz instead.
8. Young Tarzan Climbing A Tree
Tarzan has always had a knack for climbing, even as a young boy.
We only get to see a portion of Tarzan as a child in the film, but his childhood adventures would be explored in Tarzan 2.
This film was released straight to video and isn’t nearly as beloved as the original film. It does have its fans, though!

10. Tarzan With Terk And Tantor
The friendship between Tarzan, Tantor and Terk the gorilla presents some major squad goals for us to aspire to!

Before that, the role was intended for comedian Chris Rock, but he decided not to take the role.

Tarzan is most at home in the jungle, and you can see how at ease he is in this jungle scene!
The animators working on Tarzan’s character at first thought he would be easy to animate because he wears hardly any clothes, but this was far from the truth.
Portraying his musculature and animal movements proved a great challenge for the animators. They referenced footage of surfers to portray him swinging through the trees.
