Zinjx W Not named Korak but Boy, another good Tarzan movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/29/24 Full Review Audience Member It is a Classic. At the time it was barely passing the Censor board as Tarzan and Jane were not married so in order to add some depth they had to find a child whose parents had to die to pass censors. No child out of wedlock. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Tarzan and Jane, Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan, find a baby in the jungle and raise it as their own. The baby grows up to be Johnny Sheffield, known as "Boy," and he thankfully has O'Sullivan as a mother, so he doesn't have to speak like a caveman as does his father, Tarzan. Boy swings from vines, plays with Cheetah, swims with elephants, and even get's captured by giant spiders. There's really not too much plot beyond that. I do suppose Tarzan entertains some great white hunters at his jungle home and also has to rescue some people from angry natives (what's a Tarzan film without some racist stereotypes), but that's about it for the plot. The main charm of the film is Tarzan and Boy in the jungle trees, rivers, and plains, which plays on the fantasies of the juvenile audience this film is targeting. The first couple Tarzan films were exciting adventure films that were not as overtly children's films (particularly the violent and rather risqué "Tarzan and his Mate"), but with the introduction of the Boy character, is series is now a straight up kids movie. Overall, even though this is a rather silly kids film, and adding a child to the series is a bit like Tarzan "jumping the shark," it's still a pretty enjoyable film.
