Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Though most people are familiar with Disney's Tarzan and the 2016 film The Legend of Tarzan, the classic story has been adapted to film dozens of times. The character was conceived by writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, who published the first Tarzan novel in 1914. From there, he wrote several sequels, and it wasn't long before the first movie was made about the infant English lord raised by apes.
In 1932, Johnny Weissmüller took the lead role in the first Tarzan movie produced with sound, beginning a film franchise. A new movie following the character was released nearly every year until 1970. After 1970, the franchise remained dormant for over a decade. However, 1981 saw the character's return, and a couple of Tarzan movies have been released every decade since, including both animated movies and live-action movies following the legendary action hero.
The Tarzan Franchise Films From Johnny Weissmuller To Mike Henry Close The longest batch of Tarzan movies was released over a span of 40 years, with a new film arriving almost yearly. The first and most popular of these, Tarzan the Ape Man , started Tarzan's story over again and included the iconic dialogue between the titular ape man and Jane when they first met . From here, 33 more Tarzan films were released, each taking Tarzan on a new adventure.
Despite this, the film managed a successful stint at the box office, bringing in $36.5 million in the United States and Canada.

Tarzan & The Lost City A Box Office Bomb Starring Casper Van Dien Over a decade after the success of the 1984 Tarzan movie, another movie hit the theaters, and this was one a huge commercial failure.
The movie is another adaptation of the first Edgar Rice Burroughs novel, Tarzan of the Apes, which is the origin story of the adventurer. The main change here from the next animated movie released by Disney is that it seems that chimpanzees raise Tarzan in this movie, rather than gorillas in the Disney Animation movie release.
