Rating: - Tarzan
Great story for young and old alike. Phil Collins music is top-notch. The story offers a beautiful lesson of everlasting love.
Rating: - A schmaltzy, misguided version of the Tarzan legend.
Yes, it's Tarzan: the musical. Complete with baby Tarzan being sung to by his gorilla mom and.... (wait for it) Rosie Odonnel as his funny ape sidekick. If that isn't enough to disturb you, you must be a diehard Disney fan (and certainly not a Edgar Rice Burroughs fan).
There are glimpses of what the movie could have been. An action sequence where the adult Tarzan slays a leapard stands out. The background songs by Phil Collins work alright. When Tarzan meets Jane there is some charm in the situation of this man who has never seen a woman before. But against that we have to weigh the obligatory sappy family situation of Tarzan wanting acceptance from his ape father. A long introduction with cute, young Tarzan teasing elephants on a dare, and a musical number with Rosie Odonnel's character beating on tin pans in a jungle camp.
There are no lost golden cities, no Jagbalga the lion, or other great things from the Burrough's source material. It sort of puzzles me that some people have said this is pretty faithful to the material. It isn't. It's Tarzan for the kiddies, which I guess is what some people wanted and expected. But if it's adventure you want, you'd be better off with Disney's Atlantis or Dreamworks' Sinbad.
Rating: - A Real Winner!
Only one word can describe this DVD: amazing. The people at Disney sure made one heck of a family film. The animation is superior (I'm especially impressed with how they animated Tarzan himself--all those muscles look real convincing; Glen Keane, the designer of Tarzan, must really know his anatomy), the music is awesome (I just love Phil Collins), and the characters are a scream, especially Terk and Tantor.
Throughout this entire film, you are kept right on the edge of your seat. This DVD is packed with action, humor, and even a little bit of romance. The behind-the-scenes stuff is pretty cool too, which contains several deleted scenes (including an alternate opening and an alternate fighting sequence between Tarzan and Clayton), a few games, and awesome music videos that you'll hardly find anywhere else.
On a scale of one to ten, I give Tarzan a 15.
