These films were never rated, never shown in theaters, and sold only via classified ads in Adult Video News or Penthouse letters pages. The "1995 Engl+Full" tag was a marketing hook to convince buyers they were getting a complete, English-dubbed feature, not a 10-minute loop. Since 2018, the Lost Media Wiki and the r/lostmedia subreddit have dedicated threads to this keyword. User JungleHunter2020 posted in March 2022: “I bought a VHS lot from an estate sale in Florida. One tape was unlabeled except for a sticker saying ’95 TARZAN SHAME JANE. It’s 48 minutes, English, but the quality is unwatchable—tracking issues, faded color. Jane is tied to a tree and forced to wear a diaper (yes, really). Tarzan fights a leopard-man. It ends abruptly. I think this is the real thing.” A follow-up post provided screenshots, but the user deleted their account. The images—grainy, green-tinted, showing a blonde Jane with exaggerated tears—circulated widely before being debunked by animation historians as frames from a 1993 German cartoon Jungle Girl re-dubbed. Could “Shame of Jane” Be a Misremembered Disney Reject? Another theory: In 1994, Disney storyboard artist Joe Haidar pitched a dark take on Tarzan for their planned 1995 slate, titled Tarzan: The Shame of the Apes . Jane’s storyline involved her feeling “shame” for leaving Victorian society. Disney rejected it as too mature. Haidar left the company in 1995 and allegedly sold his storyboards to a European bootlegger, who adapted them as Shame of Jane .

In 1995, Golden Films (under the "GoodTimes Entertainment" banner) produced a direct-to-video animated musical titled (often called The Legend of Tarzan or Tarzan of the Apes to distinguish it from Disney’s 1999 hit). This was part of the "Enchanted Tales" series—low-budget, 49-minute adaptations of public domain stories. tarzanxshameofjane1995engl+full

Between 1994 and 1996, a small European studio (possibly based in Italy or France) produced a series of unlicensed, erotic animated shorts using public domain characters. One of these was rumored to be titled (Italian for "The Shame of Jane"). In this 15-minute short—never legally distributed in English—Jane is captured by a rival ape tribe and subjected to ritualistic humiliation before Tarzan rescues her.

So where does the "Shame of Jane" come from? The phrase "Shame of Jane" appears in no official Tarzan novel, film, or comic. However, it does appear in early internet fetish art and unsanctioned adult animations. The "x" in "TarzanxShameOfJane" is a dead giveaway: in fanfiction and adult parody titling conventions, "X" denotes a pairing or a theme. For example, BatmanxCatwoman .

This short was never released on VHS in the US. However, it was bootlegged at sci-fi conventions and later uploaded to early peer-to-peer networks (eDonkey, Kazaa) with filenames like tarzan_x_shame_of_jane_1995_engl_full.avi . The "1995" was likely a mislabel—the short was probably created in 1997 or 1998 but transferred to VHS in 1995 quality (hence the date). The keyword insists on "Engl+Full," meaning a complete English dub. While the original Italian short existed, an English fan-dub was created in 2001 by a group called "Jungle Fever Translations." They added crude voiceover and re-edited the 15-minute short into a 48-minute "feature" by looping scenes and adding still frames. This fake "full" version has been hunted by lost media collectors for years.
