It adapted several characters and locations from other original Tarzan books and [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]] material such as Queen La and the hidden dinosaur world of Pellucidar. An episode even brought Burroughs himself into the action.
Line 41:
* [[Find the Cure]]: Tarzan was poisoned by a spider in one episode, and Jane and Terk had to work together to get a flower which was needed to make the antidote.
* [[Fluffy the Terrible]]: One episode had Terk and Tantor trying to name a leopard cub. Terk likes "Fluffy" and "Doodles" while Tantor likes "Bobo". The end up deciding on "Commandor Fluffy Paws".
* [[French Jerk]]: Renard Dumont, and while he wasn't a villain, he was pretty much a [[Selfish Good, Selfish Evil|Selfish Neutral]] character always looking to make a quick buck. [[Jerk
* [[Frenemy]]: The Baboons.
* [[Geeky Turn On]]: See below.
Line 48:
* [[God Is Good]]: "The All-Seeing Elephant."
* [[Grand Theft Me]]: In "Tarzan and the Return of La," Queen La possesses Jane. {{spoiler|Crosses with [[Gender Bender]] when she possesses Tarzan due to a [[Batman Gambit]] he pulls.}}
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[The Pretender|Jared]], Lord of the Jungle, and his wife [[Law and Order: Criminal Intent|Nicole Wallace]]!
** Max Liebling in the "One Punch Mullargan" episode was played by [[Bruce Campbell]]!
* [[I See London]]: In "The British Invasion", Jane and her friends Eleanor, Greenley and Hazel remove their dresses to walk or run more easily in the jungle, and they're all in their white pantalets.
Line 55:
* [[Killer Gorilla]]: While most ape characters avert this trope, Tublat plays it straight.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Somewhat justified, in that over half of the main characters don't really wear clothing, and it's rather difficult for the other two to get their hands on new clothes in the middle of the jungle. Lampshaded when Dumont opens his store. Jane complains about having only one change of clothing, then comes back from Dumont's with an elephant load of Paris fashions. Though her main outfit remains the same, occasionally she changes into others afterwards.
* [[Literary Agent Hypothesis]]: Similar to ''[[The Little Mermaid (
* [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]]: Well, not quite "boy" and "girl", but Tantor and Terk fit.
* [[Mythology Gag]]:
** "Mangani" is the name of the species that raised Tarzan in the books.
** Also, to show that La is actually Atlantean, the animators decided to give her dark skin and white hair, like the characters in ''[[Atlantis:
* [[Never My Fault]]: Professor Philander always blames Professor Porter for his own misfortunes.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: In "Leopard Men Rebellion" Tarzan helps Queen La get her staff back off the leopard men when they kidnap Jane. {{spoiler|Turns out they kidnapped her to make her their queen so she could free them}}.
Line 68:
** Kerchak and Tublat in the flashback.
* [[Shout-Out]]: In "The All Seeing Elephant" Tantor falls off a cliff and thanks to trees gets launched into the air. At one point Tarzan and Jane see him fly by and Jane comments:
{{quote| '''Jane:''' [[Dumbo
** See [[Mythology Gag]] above for Queen La's design for this show.
* [[Single-Target Sexuality]]: The first episode with La shows that Tarzan is pretty much Jane-sexual.
