Tarzoon: Shame of the Jungle (French: Tarzoon, la honte de la jungle) is a 1975 French-Belgian adult animated comedy film directed by cartoonist Picha and Boris Szulzinger. It is a parody of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan. The film was the first foreign-animated film to receive an X rating in the United States (in France, it got a 12 rating).
The original English version (which contained some scenes that were not present on VHS nor DVD) was released first in some foreign countries (France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Brazil, Argentina, and the Nordic countries). The English version featured the voices of Johnny Weissmuller, Jr. (the son of noted Tarzan actor Johnny Weissmuller), with comedians John Belushi, Bill Murray, Christopher Guest, and Brian Doyle-Murray present in the casting.
This film is also known as Jungle Burger in the United Kingdom.
