Sweetheart, there are

no piranhas in Africa.

Don't tell the kid that. Of course

there are piranhas in Africa.

No, she's right.

They're native to South America.

Get outta here.

No way !

Come on. Do you think I'd be

standing here if there were ?

Aah ! It's right behind you !

[ Trumpets ] Run !

- For the last time, honey,

there are no piranhas in--

- My butt !

- I told you!

- There's something on my butt.

- What is it ?

- Are there any more of them ?

Ahh !

- What is it ?

- It's a piranha !

[ Together ]

Huh ?

- [ Gasps ]

- Piranha !

- Whoa ! Whoa !

- Tantor, where are--

- Aah ! Aah !

- [ Gasps ]

[ Trumpeting ]

- He's dead !

- [ Trumpeting ]

We're dead !

Whoa ! Oof !

We didn't do it !

They're the ones !

[ Trumpeting ]

[ Trumpeting ]

Oh, thank you, Kerchak.

Tarzan, buddy ! Buddy, come on.

Tarzan, don't die on me.

Don't die on me.

You weren't supposed to do it !

Get away from there !

Don't you know a piranha

can strip your flesh in seconds ?

What ? He's not a piranha !

He's--

- [ Coughing ]

- He's alive !

- He's alive ! He's alive !

- He's alive !

He's alive--

You idiot !

- You nearly gave me a heart attack.

Ya happy ?

- Uh-huh.

You-- I don't believe it.

You got the hair ?

Is that what this is all about ?

I got a whole tail of them.

- [Kala] Tarzan !

- Terkina !

[Terk, Tarzan]

Oh, no !

- Who's that ?

- [ Terk, Tarzan ] My mom.

- Tarzan !

- Hi, Aunt Kala.

- Hi.

- Oh, you scared me ! What happened ?

- Well, I--

It's sort of a long--

It's involved because what happened--

- [Terk] It was a weird--

- What happened ?

- It was my fault, Kerchak.

- Tarzan !

We were playing and well--

I'm-- I'm sorry, Kerchak.

You almost killed someone !

- But it was an accident.

- He's only a child.

That's no excuse, Kala !

You can't keep defending him !

- But he'll learn !

- He will never learn !

- You can't learn to be one of us.

- Because you never give him a chance !

Give him a chance ? Kala, look at him.

He will never be one of us.

[ Kala ]

Kerchak !

Tarzan !

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Heavy Breathing,

Grunts ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Grunts ]

Tarzan,

what are you doing ?

Why am I so different ?

Because you're covered

with mud. That's why.

- No ! Kerchak said

I didn't belong in the--

- Close your mouth.

Kerchak said I don't belong

in the family.

Never mind what Kerchak said.

Now, hold still !

But, look at me !

I am, Tarzan.

And do you know what I see ?

I see two eyes,

like mine.

And a nose...

somewhere.

Ahh... here !

- Two ears ! [ Chuckles ]

- [ Giggles ]

- And, let's see. What else ?

- Two hands ?

That's right.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ]

Close your eyes.

Now forget what you see.

What do you feel ?

My heart.

Come here.

- Your heart.

- See ?

We're exactly the same.

Oh !

Kerchak just can't see that.

I'll make him see it !

I'll be the best ape ever !

[ Chuckling ]

Oh, I bet you will.

Oh, the power to be strong

And the wisdom

to be wise

All these things

will come to you in time

On this journey

that you're making

There'll be answers

that you'll seek

And it's you who'll climb

the mountain

It's you who'll reach

the peak

Son of man

look to the sky

Lift your spirit

Set it free

Some day you'll walk tall

with pride

Son of man

A man in time you'll be

Though there's no one there

to guide you

No one to take your hand

But with faith

and understanding

You will journey

from boy to man

Son of man

look to the sky

Lift your spirit

Set it free

Some day you'll walk tall

with pride

Son of man

A man in time you'll be

In learning

you will teach

And in teaching

you will learn

You'll find your place

beside the ones you love

All and all

the things you've dreamed of

The visions that you saw

Well, the time

is drawing near now

It's yours to claim it all

Son of man

look to the sky

Lift your spirit

Set it free

Some day you'll walk tall

with pride

Son of man

A man in time you'll be

Son of man

Son of man's a man for all to see

Don't even think

about it.

- How'd you know it was me ?

- I'm your mother. I know everything.

- Where have you been ?

- I thought you knew everything.

Hey, Auntie "K."

You're looking remarkably groomed today.

Hello, Terk.

[ Terk ]

Not the neck. Not the neck there, "T."

[ Grunting And Groaning ]

Whoa ! Okay. It's all fun and games

till someone loses an eye.

Please stop.

Somebody's gonna get hurt.

- And it's always me. Please.

- [ Terk ] Cramp in the calf !

Okay, you win ! Ow, ow !

Okay ! You win. Hello ?

Yo, yo, let go !

- Oh, sorry, Terk.

- What kind of animal are you ?

I've been thinking lately

that maybe Tarzan could be

some subspecies of elephant.

[Terk]

What, are you crazy ?An elephant ?

[Tantor] Listen to me.

Think about it. He enjoys a peanut.

- I enjoy a peanut.

- He looks nothing like you !

Okay, everybody, move aside.

Outta my way !

Best friend comin' through.

That would be me.

And you, don't make

a habit of that, okay ?

There are other ways

of gettin' attention. You know ?

- I'll try to remember that.

- All right.

[Terk]

I was right behind ya if you needed me.

[Rifle Shot]

[ Birds Squawking ]

What was that ?

Ayah, it wasn't me.

I swear !

Let's move.

[Rifle Shot]

[ Sniffing ]

Hmph.

[ Sniffing ]

[ Coughing ]

[Rifle Shot]

[Man] This reminds me

of the safari I led up the Zambezi.

[Chattering Continues]

Back, back,

back, back, back.

Ooh, was it scary there.

Two men with only three rifles.

We blasted away.

[Man] That's when I knew

I was born for Africa !

And Africa

was created for--

[Rifle Shot]

[ Grunts ]

[Man #2]

Clayton !

Clayton !

Oh, there you are.

What is it ? What is it, Clayton ?

Are we in danger?

I thought I saw something.

Is it a Hippopotamus Amphibious,

or a Rhinoceros Bihornus ?

- Professor, don't move !

- Ah, right.

Daddy ?

[Grunting]

Daddy, what's all

the hullabaloo about ? Aah !

What is it, Daddy ?

Mr Clayton asked me not to move.

He saw something.

[ Sighs ]

[ Grunts, Bushes Rustle ]

Oh, I moved.

Ah, Mr Clayton, sorry.

Excuse me, uh--

But my father and I came on

this expedition to study gorillas.

I believe your shooting

might be scaring them off.

You hired me to protect you,

Miss Porter, and protect you I shall.

And you're doing

a marvellous job of it.

- We only have a short time

before the ship returns--

- [Porter Gasping]

Jane ! Jane, do you realize

what you're standing in ?

- A gorilla's nest !

- Oh, Daddy !

At last,
