This article is about the jungle from Tarzan. For other uses, see Jungle (disambiguation).

The Jungle of Africa is the main setting from Disney's 1999 animated feature Tarzan, its sequel, midquel, and television series.

Background[]

In the Tarzan franchise, the jungle is located somewhere in Africa and is the home of Tarzan, his wife Jane, and his mother Kala. It is also the habitation of Tantor and Terk and the other elephants and gorillas, as well as other creatures, such as baboons, crocodiles, and leopards.

Tarzan films[]

Tarzan was abandoned in the jungle as a baby after Sabor killed his parents and raised by Kala and Kerchak's gorilla family, with Terk becoming Tarzan's closest friend and Tarzan becoming one with many of the jungle's natives. When Tarzan grew up, he met another human in the jungle named Jane Porter, who became his love interest and eventual wife. He also had to contend with two foes: Sabor, a leopard who killed Tarzan's biological parents when he was an infant, and Clayton, a poacher who intended to kill Tarzan and his gorilla family. Outraged at the intrusion, the jungle bands her inhabitants together with Tarzan and his human allies, who expel Clayton's goons from the jungle. Though Clayton is killed when he is hanged by a vine, the jungle loses Kerchak when he is shot and brings a rainstorm to show its sadness at his passing.

The Legend of Tarzan[]

In the TV series, some time after Tarzan married Jane, more human visitors from civilizations outside of Africa came in to the jungles, usually either for profit, hunting, logging, or just visiting for vacation or scientific research. Examples include Renard Dumont, a savvy French businessman of "Dumont's Trading Post", Hazel, Greenly, and Eleanor, three of Jane's old upper-class friends from finishing school in England, Dr. Robin Doyle, a female Irish anthropologist who became Professor Porter's love interest, Samuel T. Philander, Professor Archimedes' academic rival, and Hugo and Hooft, two bumbling American men that are former deserters of the French Foreign Legion who work for Dumont, amongst others. The jungle is also home to several other native humans that also reside in Africa, such as the Waziri tribe led by Chief Keewazi, and the treacherous tyrannical femme fatale Queen La, a high priestess of a blood cult who fell in love with Tarzan, and even other native animals such as Tublat, a rogue ape that tried to tyrannically take over Kerchak's gorilla tribe, Nuru and Sheeta, a pair of savage panthers that frequently find and battle Tarzan and try to devour Tarzan's friends and family, and Gobu, another gorilla from a different tribe who serves as Terk's love interest, just to name a few.

More sub-locations of these jungles that never made it on the original 1999 film are explored further in the series, such as Pellucidar, the Waziri village, the lost Atlantean city of Opar and Skull Cave.

In the episode "Tarzan and the Hidden World" it is revealed that there is location beneath the African jungle called Pellucidar where the last surviving dinosaurs still live there, even though that dinosaurs have already become extinct in other parts of the world such as Jane's home country England millions of years ago. Prior to the events of that episode, Tarzan has claimed to have seen these dinosaurs in Pellucidar once a long time ago.

In the episode "Tarzan and the Lost Treasure", it is revealed that a certain hidden treasure filled with gold and jewels is said to be found in the Valley of the Leopards from this jungle, but however, nobody has successfully claimed said treasure alive due to these treasure hunters getting viciously mauled to death by the leopards living there before they could escape. Count Nikolas Rokoff still insists on claiming this hidden treasure despite Tarzan's warnings not to do it due to the danger, even if it means threatening to kill Jane and the rest of Tarzan's friends if the jungle man doesn't comply with his demand. Rokoff however learns this lesson the hard way when these leopards viciously maul him.

Video games[]

Kingdom Hearts[]

The Jungle, known as the Deep Jungle, is a world that appears only in Kingdom Hearts. It is home to Tarzan and his ape tribe, as well as a group of explorers trying to learn more about the gorillas. Deep Jungle is the only Disney world from the original Kingdom Hearts that does not appear in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, any other game, or the manga adaption. This is most likely due to the estate of Edgar Rice Burroughs still holding copyrights to the Tarzan character and later Tarzan books still under copyright, and Square Enix unable to secure the rights to use them. However, it did appear again for Kingdom Hearts HD I.5 ReMIX.

Trivia[]

  • The world based on Tarzan in Kingdom Hearts is named Deep Jungle.
  • While working on the film, the production team behind Tarzan took inspiration from photographs taken in Uganda while designing the jungle.
  • In the TV series, it is heavily implied in numerous episodes that Tarzan has established a strict rule in this jungle which bans all hunting of the jungle creatures as well as any activity that causes intentional harm to any of the jungle creatures such as logging, especially to his gorilla family, and anyone who violates this rule gets their hunting weapons destroyed and banished from the jungle indefinitely by Tarzan, likely due to the actions of Clayton and his men in the first film.
