I got a kick out of the old Tarzan cartoons from my youth. They felt superhero-adjacent to me and I liked the character designs. Even as a kid, the limited animation did stand out to me. I remember getting a little annoyed with all of the re-used sequences.

A natural pairing but I'd like to see Vixen the model and Lord Graystroke with Jane along in New York City.
I liked the Tarzan series! The animation process used by Filmation in the late Seventies/early Eighties was somewhat more advanced than ten years earlier (post-superhero craze). In fact, Tarzan's running scenes almost reminded me of Ralph Bakshi's process for his LOTR feature film! Namely, live-action film repainted, by cartoon animators, frame-by-frame. The only limits inherent in that process would be budgetary. Definitely not limited in regards to imagination!
The same process - known as rotoscoping - was used in both. Filmation also used it for other cartoons such as He-Man.
