Summary: A Very Poor Sequel!!!
Review: Ok do not get me wrong the try of doing something like this was in good heart but come on DISNEY COMPANY! YOU RUSHED ANOTHER SEQUEL FOR A QUICK BUCK! The story is very poor! I like this Jane's Voice better than Minnie Driver, her voice is not that annoying. NO MUSIC WHAT SO EVER IN THIS FILM! Only a snip of Two worlds with Mandy More for the Main Title and than a dork Finale song and than the End Title that is it! They took once again 3 stories and made it into a second movie! VERY CRAPY ANIMATION! My 3 year old niece could have drawn better! O, I am sorry, Disney is losing it's touch of magic! I bought this on DVD because I thought at least the extras would have been good but they are even worse! Mandy Moore is in there for a snip and that is it! The sneak peeks were the best from this DVD! Sorry Disney you get a very poor from me and I am very great big Disney Fan!

Summary: TARZAN & JANE
Review: Ok first off, this is a TV SHOW not a MOVIE. It's 3 epsiodes
of Disney's "The Legend of Tarzan", which is a cartoon that
airs on Toon Disney.

THE GOOD:

Funny, likeable charaters, cute story, kids with LOVE it.

THE BAD:

Disney is trying to act like this is a movie, when disney
really has plans to release TARZAN 2 next year {2003} on Video.
This is disney just trying to make you pay the price of a movie
when it's just a good little cartoon.

Summary: Great Bonus Track
Review: Okay, truth be told, the movie is pretty much what you'd expect - decent animation and story telling, but not as good as the original feature. The bonus track, however, is probably the coolest bonus track I've ever seen (it's called "Tarzan & Jane's Adventure Builder"). Strange to be saying this about one of Disney's B-titles, but it's true. It's a choose-your-own-adventure type story in which you get to decide what Tarzan should do. There are dozens of choices, and tons of different endings. I've played this track so many times and still can't believe how much new content there is each time. The production value on the bonus track is terrific - a rapid montage of stills that dissolve into each other, narrated by Tantor the elephant, set to a fully scored soundtrack. I hope Disney does more of these.

Summary: Horrible, Horrible, Horrible. . . .
Review: Pass on this silly sequel! Stories are nonsense, returning characters are nothing like the original movie version, and Tarzan comes across as supremely stupid. I loved the first Tarzan cartoon from Disney, but the makers of this film seem totally lost and unable to find even a smidgen of the charm or adventure found in the original movie.

Summary: The wrost movie ever....
Review: Schoking - the animations makes you sick. Compared to the original this is a amature working on the animation and story line. A waste of money... their new trick to have shadows (leaves) on the bodys make it look like they are transparant. Take my word and don't waste your money on this DVD. Their is no story to speak of and the direction is horrid to say the least.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Tarzan & Jane (Disney)
Review: Tarzan & Jane was a very disappointing movie, not up to Disney standards at all. The plot, animation and voices were so much less than the original Tarzan movie. I bought it before I rented it trusting the quality of Disney films---I will never buy another Disney film without previewing it. Don't waste your money on this one.

Summary: What Were They THinking?
Review: TARZAN AND JANE - is a movie that sorely needed viable story. It was obviously intended for very young kids. There is nothing for the adults in this movie. Even the voice characterizations are week and seemed to be forced in comparison to the original. None of the original actors came back to do their voice - and I know why now that I have seen it. It has three very week stories written in the Narrative format. Meaning, these are past adventures told by the animal characters like - "Remember when Tarzan did this?" and "Remember when Jane did this?" Extremely week and cheap plot devices.

Don't get me wrong, Return To Neverland (the sequel to Peter Pan), Alladins' two sequels and even Pocahantas' sequel were. All were direct-to-video, but still entertaining for the young and old alike.

Stay away from this one. Even the DVD extras are not that interesting. What were they thinking? Didn't anyone read the script? And Michael Eisner approved this? Yikes! (12-9-02)

Summary: Tarzan & Jane DVD
Review: This Direct To Video "sequel" is really just three episodes of "The Legend Of Tarzan" TV series, with a new wrap around story. The final result could be considered acceptable IF you understand what it is you are getting.

"Tarzan & Jane" looks exactly as you would expect a TV cartoon to look like, so you will not be getting any of the spectacular deep canvas animation used on the 1999 original. You won't even get animation that is better than "Cinderella II: Dreams Come True", but on par with "The Hunchback Of Notre Dame II". It easy not to be judgemental on the quality, or at least easier. This is because it is not an original production like the other DTV sequels in where the film makers claim that they try to make the sequel look like the original.

The story, has flaws, but it doesn't matter for the kids. They will love it no matter what.

Voice actors are matched close enough to the orginal. With the exception of Terk and sometimes Jane. The replacements of Terk (the ape) does not sound at all like Rosie O'Donnell's take on the character. While Jane does sound like Minnie Driver at times, but some times goes off track a little bit.

Over all, I'd say this one is better for parents to sit through than Cinderella II or The Hunchback II. Kid's will not care that the quality is not the same as the extroadinary original, adults may. Your call....

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: don't waste yer money
Review: This is nothing more than Disney's attempt to capitalize on the success of it's excellent Tarzan movie. The artwork is very beneath Disney standards, even for a make-a-quick-buck movie (like "Return of Jafar"). Too flat with a flimsy attempt at depth using very distracting shadows. Oak leaves in a jungle?? The storyline is so-so... 3 episodes of "remember what happened when...?" Actor's voices, except for Tantor and Prof. Porter, sound nowhere near the original's. This obviously low-budget (spare time?) project doesn't begin to approach the quality Disney is capable of producing. I don't even recommend renting it.
