Release Date:

May 26, 1934

Main Character(s):

Buddy

Summary:

Buddy (as Tarzan) and his animal friends battle against a tribe of cannibals.

That’s Not All, Folks:

This was the directorial debut of Ben Hardaway, whose nickname was “Bugs”. This would later inspire the name for Bugs Bunny.

The cartoon is no longer shown on television due to racial stereotypes.

What I Like About This One:

A Flintstones type of gag being used here (26 years before that show premiered): Buddy using an elephant spraying water to shower.

A crocodile brushing his dentures with a porcupine.

The music that plays during the scene where Buddy and the animals dance after the former saves a monkey from going over a fall.

Buddy’s Tarzan yell being interrupted by one of the natives accidentally throwing his spear into his mouth.
