Together with marooned sailors, the apes row a hollowed-out tree to the coast of Africa whereas Sheeta, the panther drools over the sailors but won't eat them out of loyalty to the Lord of the Jungle. Any mention of animal loyalties can be amiss without mentioning the Golden Lion, Jad-bal-ja, whom Tarzan raised from a cub to become his ally and watcher. More than one enemy is vanquished by Tarzan’s loyal avenger, who is not going to assault any of Tarzan’s associates. To calculate the general star rating and share breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.
I even have read all of Edgar Rice Burroughs novels about ' Tarzan of the apes' and enjoyed being taken into a world of fantastic journey. In Tarzan’s defense, he incessantly prefers the legislation of the jungle to the regulation of man. He would rather be eaten by a lion or a tiger or gored by a rhinoceros than have the knife of a duplicitous man stab him in the back. The books are replete with wry observations of Tarzan’s choice for the savage natural world over civilization.
