Tarzan, voiced by Tony Goldwyn, is a human boy who grows up in the African jungle, raised by gorillas after his parents' tragic death. As he matures, Tarzan becomes aware of his differences from the gorillas and begins to explore his human side. When a group of humans, led by the villainous Clayton, arrive in the jungle, Tarzan must choose between his loyalty to his gorilla family and his growing connection to his human roots.
Tarzan tells the story of a human infant orphaned in the African jungle and adopted by a family of gorillas. Raised by the nurturing Kala, Tarzan grows up as an outcast, struggling to find acceptance from the skeptical ape leader, Kerchak, while forming deep bonds with the neurotic elephant Tantor and the sarcastic gorilla Terk. His world is turned upside down when he meets a human research expedition from England, including the curious and kind-hearted Jane Porter, forcing him to confront his identity and choose between two different worlds. tarzan 1999 greek audio
