* LighterAndSofter: Just for an example, Kerchak does not kill John Clayton. Rather he dies of illness just as his wife Alice does. The movie also omits many of the [[DarkerAndEdgier darker and violent]] elements from the Disney film, such as Kala's gorilla baby getting eaten by Sabor and the brutal deaths of Tarzan's human family and Clayton by Hanging.

This is not actually correct. Only a few adaptations have referred to the apes as gorillas rather than mangani and in the film itself, the apes are never specifically identified as chimpanzees, so they could still just be Mangani.


* AdaptationalSpeciesChange: Like most adaptations of Tarzan, the apes aren’t a fictional species called the mangani, though unlike Disney and other versions, here they are depicted as chimpanzees rather than gorillas. Chimpanzees do more accurately fit the savage and violent portrayal of the managi in the original novel, but the only truly antagonistic one here is Kerchak.

In 1999, Creator/GoldenFilms released a film they had made two years prior in time for another adaptation of the same beloved story: ''Literature/TarzanOfTheApes.'' In contrast to the Disney film, this production more or less follows the original book but it is, for the most part, a LighterAndSofter adaptation.

----
!! The film has examples of:

* AdaptationalHeroism: Rather than Terkoz being Tarzan's enemy, he is Tarzan's friend and adoptive brother.
* CompositeCharacter: Sabor, a blanket term for lionesses in the Mangani language of the book series, is the name of a lion, whose blanket term in the Mangani language is "Numa."
* DeathByAdaptation: Black Michael and his mutineers are killed in a storm not long after marooning the Claytons. It is never stated what happened to them after the marooning in the novel.
* DecompositeCharacter: Terkoz's role as a villainous exile of the ape tribe is given to Kerhcak.
* KillerGorilla: Kerchak and Bolgani, or rather a killer "brown ape" and "grey ape" respectively.
* LighterAndSofter: Just for an example, Kerchak does not kill John Clayton. Rather he dies of illness just as his wife Alice does.
* SparedByTheAdaptation:
** Kala is not killed by the Tribe of Mbonga, as they were called in the original book.
** Terkoz is not killed by Tarzan due to the AdaptationalHeroism.
* TruerToTheText: As strange as it is, this film pretty much covers many of the episodes from the original novel: the marooning of the Claytons, Sabor's attack at the water hole, Tarzan following Jane to Baltimore, it is all there.
