The Tarzan yell in the cartoon was not done by Tarzan voice actor Robert Ridgely. In fact, it was performed by Danton Burroughs, grandson of Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs.
In many ways, the series is the most faithful of all screen-based adaptations of Edgar Rice Burroughs's Tarzan and featured a number of "lost cities" from the original novels.
The rotoscoped animation is based upon the work of Burrough's favorite Tarzan artist, Burne Hogarth.
Much of the animation was rotoscoped (drawings traced over live-action references).
In the series, Tarzan is depicted as intelligent and well-spoken - not the simple-minded ("Me Tarzan... you Jane") caricature of many films.
