The film follows a traditional heteronormative framework. The central romance between Tarzan and Jane follows a conventional trajectory without any non-cisnormative identities.

Jane Porter subverts traditional hierarchies by acting as an intellectual peer with scientific agency. Her competence disrupts standard tropes of submissive femininity found in period animation.

The human cast is portrayed through a Western, Anglo-centric lens. While it avoids harmful caricatures, the lack of a non-white human cast limits the representation.

The narrative critiques Western institutions and colonialist exploitation. It frames the arrival of civilization as a disruptive and violent force against the natural order.

The film does not feature characters with visible or invisible disabilities. Disability is not utilized as a narrative device or plot point.
