The film features mild peril, intense animal encounters, and emotional themes surrounding grief and belonging that suit elementary-aged children. Younger viewers may find the predatory sequences and the survival-based conflict stressful.
Content Safety Breakdown
Detailed breakdown of potentially concerning content
Sex & Nudity
There is light romantic tension and flirting between Tarzan and Jane, and Tarzan is shown shirtless throughout the film as part of his jungle attire. These elements are presented in a very G-rated, innocent manner.
Violence & Gore
The film features stylized action sequences including fights between animals and a confrontation with a human antagonist. While there is peril, the injuries are not graphic and the conflict is standard for an animated adventure film.
Profanity
The dialogue is entirely clean with no instances of moderate or strong profanity throughout the entire film.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
There is a brief scene involving the character Clayton where he is seen with a pipe, but it is not used in a way that promotes or glamorizes smoking.
Frightening Scenes
Younger viewers may find the sequences involving a leopard attack or an intense storm to be slightly frightening. The sense of peril is heightened by dramatic music and suspenseful pacing typical of the genre.
