It does appear that "Tarzan and the Golden Lion" is edited. I am not sure if anything else has been edited since I've seen this animated series since childhood.

While the lack of remastering is unfortunate and the horizontal lines running through the first episode are an annoyance, I think having edited episodes bothers me more. I am grateful for the release and hope to see another set with the remaining episodes to complete the series but the very least they could have done was to insure that episodes were uncut.

On a positive note, the series holds up very well. Sure there is the nostalgia of it being one of my favorite childhood cartoons but the stories really are engaging and well done. What is far more apparent on this second viewing as an adult is the odd fact that Tarzan runs into far more Caucasians and aliens in the Africa rather than actual Africans.
