He doesn’t kidnap her. She follows him. He leads her to his grotto to show her a wounded leopard cub (his only family). To warm her from a chill, he presses his bare chest against her back, wrapping his arms around her—not sexually, but functionally , like a mother ape. The shame for Jane is her body’s betrayal: she leans back, her eyes close, and a soft moan escapes. Tarzan’s hand tightens on her arm. He understands that sound.

Tarzan (a lean, scarred, fiercely intelligent Leonardo DiCaprio-type, circa The Basketball Diaries ) is not a noble savage. He is territorial, dangerous, and has never seen a white woman. His "shame" is the sudden, confusing vulnerability she creates in his ironclad world.

In 1994, a new adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic tale, "Tarzan," was released, bringing a fresh perspective to the iconic story. "Tarzan X: Shame of Jane" is an adult animated film that reimagines the jungle hero in a more mature and sensual light.
