Tarzan of the Apes

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Tarzan of the Apes is a series of books written by Edgar Rice Burroughs. His books were made into movies starring Johnny Weissmuller as the king of the apes. The series spawned other movies, like "Tarzan and Jane", "Tarzan Finds a Son" among others. Later, other actors would play the part of the ape man in more recent movies over the years like Christopher Lambert in "Greystoke: the Legend of Tarzan" and an animated movie with Jason Scott Lee as the voice of Tarzan, which won an Oscar for best musical soundtrack for Phil Collins, with the song, You'll Be in My Heart.
