Tarzan

Based on Edgar Rice Burrough’s Tarzan of the Apes and the smash-hit 1999 Disney animated film,Tarzan  tells the story of an infant boy orphaned on the shores of West Africa. Taken in and raised by a tribe of gorillas, the young boy strives for acceptance by his ape father while grappling with his uniqueness. When a human expedition enters their territory, Tarzan – now a man – encounters strangers like himself for the first time.  Tarzan features music and lyrics by pop icon Phil Collins including the Grammy and Oscar winning song, “You’ll Be in My Heart”. This beautiful, touching story is sure to be a favorite for the whole family!
