One day, Terk and two of her friends go to a pond where the elephants are. Nevertheless, Kala decides to raise the boy as her own, naming him Tarzan (' You'll Be in My Heart').Ī few years later, Tarzan befriends Kala and Kerchak's niece, a feisty young female gorilla named Terk. Kala rescues the baby from a still-hungry Sabor and returns with it to the rest of the group, but Kerchak despises the boy for his appearance. She enters the treehouse to find it trashed, and blood covered paw prints (as well as the corpses of the couple) on the floor. The next day, the still-heartbroken Kala hears a distant child's cry and, following it, stumbles upon the treehouse. Meanwhile, a gorilla couple named Kerchak and Kala are traveling with the rest of their group when their infant son is killed and eaten by a leopard named Sabor. In the late 1880s off the coast of Africa, a young couple and their infant son escape a burning ship and land on the unexplored rainforests of Africa, where they craft themselves a large treehouse in which to live using salvaged ship parts in order to survive (' Two Worlds'). It was also the first Disney animated feature to open at first place at the North American box office since Pocahontas ( 1995). When it was released on June 18, 1999, its production budget of $130 million made it the most expensive animated film ever made until it was topped by Disney's own $140 million Treasure Planet in 2002. Tarzan is considered by many to be the last major box office success of the Disney Renaissance before the studio's decline in the early to mid 2000s (sometimes known as Disney's 'Second Dark Age'), although some consider Dinosaur ( 2000) to be the last film in the Disney Renaissance. The 37th animated feature in the Disney Animated Canon, it is based upon the Tarzan of the Apes novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs, and is the only major motion picture version of the Tarzan property to be animated. Tarzan is a 1999 film animated film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures and Buena Vista Pictures Distribution.
