Tarzan is the first animated film of the Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic tale about a boy raised in the jungle by apes.

The film features the voices of Glenn Close, Tony Goldwyn, Minnie Driver and Rosie O'Donnell and received rave reviews when it was released in the US this summer.

It also took an estimated $34.1m in ticket sales on its first weekend, making it the best opening for a Disney animated film since 1994's The Lion King.
