"Tarzan" a fictional character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, first appeared in the 1912 novel Tarzan of the Apes, and then in twenty-four sequels by Burroughs and numerous more by other authors.
The character proved immensely popular and quickly made the jump to other media, first and most notably to comics and film.
This article concerns Tarzan's appearance in the film and other non-print media.
The earlier Tarzan films were silent pictures adapted from the original Tarzan novels which appeared within a few years of the character's creation.
With the advent of talking pictures, a popular Tarzan movie franchise was developed, which was anchored by actor Johnny Weissm�ller in the title role, which lasted from 1932 to 1948.
Tarzan films under Weissm�ller often featured the character's chimpanzee companion, Cheeta.
Later Tarzan films after Weissm�ller have been occasional and somewhat idiosyncratic.

Johnny Sheffield was an American child actor who, between 1939 and 1947, played Boy in the Tarzan film series and, between 1949 and 1955, played Bomba the Jungle Boy.
