That actually explains a lot about it. Sad to know that the test audience re-edit has been around since the '30s. At least the series was able to get back onto a slightly different track in the next film. But it sounds like the studio was already aiming for kids in this film, instead of a more general adventure loving audience.Roman J.

This movie was originally filmed as The Capture of Tarzan and the script was quite differnet from the released Tarzan Escapes. By all accounts, this movie was more intense and frightening for kids. After a preview showing, the studio decided not to release it, so they made huge script changes and re-shot most of the footage and hap-hazardly pieced together a more tame version and released it as Tarzan Escapes. <br />To date, none of the original footage has ever been found. Some film historians believe the original version, The Capture of Tarzan would have been, maybe the best Tarzan film ever made.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801441755423984496.post-55122413112699289982011-06-19T14:01:33.476-07:002011-06-19T14:01:33.476-07:00The tree house is indeed cool.

I want one, but I can imagine what the zoning board would say about that -- and the neighbors at the meeting: "We wouldn't have moved here if we thought people would be allowed to live in trees!" They'd probably have a problem with the elephants, too.Richard Bellushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10108081864942272619noreply@blogger.com
