Tarzan 2016

[brotherbear]

Edgar Rice Burroughs published 24 Tarzan novels, the first in 1912. During my growing-up years, I read them all, most more than once. The first Tarzan movie appeared in 1918. Up until about 1970, Tarzan movies were very popular but started dying off after that. Jane Goodall grew up as a big fan of the books which she says greatly inspired the direction she took during her life. She was however not much of a fan of the movies. Steve Irwin grew up loving the old Tarzan movies which certainly played a role in his activities as a boy and later in his adult life. I never heard him mention the books.
There were no Tarzan movies, to my knowledge that I missed. I have yet to see one that portrays the character to my satisfaction comparable to the literary Tarzan. I have high hopes for the upcoming Tarzan movie.
