Title change
The film was originally intended to be released as Gummi-Tarzan (English: Rubber Tarzan), as is the name of the book upon which the film is based. However, when Walt Disney Pictures released their animated film Tarzan in 1999 they secured the exclusive rights to the title. After publishers of Ole Lund Kierkegaard's book were threatened with legal action, they reached an agreement with Disney that the original book may be freely republished as Gummi-Tarzan, but that in all other media the title must be Gummi T (English: Rubber T). Crone Film decided to follow this agreement to avoid possible legal action.[6][7]
