Tarzan Films

Background: Tarzan Films is the North American company, which owned by Jimmy Muller who teams up with Nintendo to distribute the North American release of Mario Tales, which is the only known English dub of the anime to have this logo.

1st Logo

(1998-)

Nickname: "Jungle", "The Tarzan Scream Logo"

Logo: We see a dark red silhouette of Tarzan in the distance swinging the vine in the black background with green trees. On the screen, we see the text "TARZAN FILMS" in red.

Variants:

On DVD releases by the company, the background is like a sunset.

On the 2007 Mario Tales special "10 Years of Mario Tales!", the Tarzan Films logo is seen on the lower left with the Nintendo Entertainment logo on the right and the Ultimate Enterprise Studios logo below above the Tarzan/NAS logos with the letter "A" above the UES logo and the word "Production" below the logos. On this variant, the 1998 Klasky-Csupo logo follows it.

On the Mario Tales episodes "Luigi's Memories Are Made of This" and "Heeeeeeeeere's Wario!", Tarzan is not there.

On some Mario Tales episodes, Jane replaces Tarzan.

FX/SFX: None.

Cheesy Factor: It is kinda hard to see Tarzan with several trees in front of him. Not to mention, if you're lucky to look closely at Tarzan, he has the same eyes as Mario's (Nintendo's mascot).

Music/Sounds: A soundbite of Johnny Weissmuller's version of the Tarzan yell followed by the jungle soundbite of a kookaburra.

Music/Sounds Variants:

On non-split-screen airings of the 2013 Mario Tales episode "Welcome to Dream Team, Luigi!", a dog bark is heard in the background instead of a Tarzan yell and a kookaburra.

On the Mario Tales episodes "Luigi's Memories Are Made of This" and "Heeeeeeeeere's Wario!", it was silent.

On some Mario Tales episodes, the Jane yell is used instead.

On some occasions, "Tarzan Boy" by Baltimora is heard.

Availability: Common. It was seen on all of the series by the English dubs of the Mario Tales franchise. It's currently seen on the English dubs of Mario Tales shows on PBS and The Hub. It was also seen on the rerun of Mario Tales on CVS Kids. When the episode  Luigi's Memories Are Made of This  aired in 2007, due to an editing mistake on CVS's part, the IHI Productions logo was shown in place of this on airings with split-screen credits. And on March 14, 2014, during an airing of the episode "Yoshi Tales", this was replaced with the Bugs Bunny Television logo. The dog variant can be found on Netflix.

Scare Factor: Low to High. It all depends on what you think of the Tarzan (or Jane) yell and the kookaburra. None on the silent version and the version with "Tarzan Boy" playing. The logo cutting to the 1998 Klasky-Csupo logo raises the scare factor to NIGHTMARE.
