Who is Tantor’s Mother?

Tantor’s Mother is a character from Disney’s Tarzan (1999), an animated feature film inspired by Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan of the Apes. She appears as the caring and protective mother of Tantor, the young elephant who grows up to be one of Tarzan’s loyal friends.

Tantor’s Mother is depicted as a warm yet cautious figure, deeply concerned about her son’s well-being, especially in the dangerous jungle environment. Her love for Tantor is evident in her protective nature and her humorous interactions with other characters.

One memorable scene involves Tantor’s Mother attempting to reassure her young, nervous son, who is scared of potential dangers in the water, including his comical fear of piranhas—despite being told they are not native to the jungle. This moment showcases her patience and gentle humor as a parent.

The character of Tantor’s Mother is voiced by actress and singer Estelle Harris, best known for her role as Estelle Costanza on Seinfeld and the voice of Mrs. Potato Head in the Toy Story franchise.
