Summary: Tarzan
Review: This film is right up there with the Lion King! The animation is out of this world. The story is funny, heart warming, and has alot of great family messages in it! I recommend this to any family,especially if somebody is adopted. A beautiful story about adoption, (I thought! )in a animated film! I don't have enough good things to say about this video. TheCharacters- you will fall in love with them all! (except for a selected few-you will not like them at all-they are evil after all! )I think this is one to definately get for your family's video collection!

Summary: Great fun for everyone
Review: I enjoyed this movie at least as much, if not more than my 6 and 3 year old children. There is a wide range of emotion experienced within the movie and the animation makes you feels almost as if you are actually in the jungle. It is definitely our new favorite "family" film to sit and all watch together (even dad doesn't mind) and will be watched many, many more times.

Summary: Best Disney movie since the Lion King
Review: I saw this movie in the theater and it was absolutely breath-taking. Phil Collins adds a lot of emotion to the film through his music. The story line, animation, and voices are incredible. I recommend this movie to everyone, whether you are a collector of Disney films or not!

Summary: The Man's Revue
Review: This wasn't on my top "to-see" list, but my fiance was extatic about its release (in other words I got dragged along). I'm the kind of guy that likes to see some action in films that I go and see. I guess I'd consider myself a "VanDamme" kind of guy. For some reason though this movie was different for me. There was still enough action to keep me glued to the seat of my pants, and the comedy level lived up to the expectations of my memories of Disney films I had seen as a child. The thing is that not only did this have the action and adventure, I even cried (which I don't do at movies all that often). What I'm trying to say is that this movie is great for the whole family...its Disney for the kids, but most of the reason that Disney makes movies like this is so parents and other grown-up figures have an excuse to go as well (although, you don't need an excuse to see this one). Most of what Disney puts in their films is not targeted at the children in the audience, but at the parents. All I'm saying is...try this movie, you'll love it even if you are a guy.

Summary: Family Viewing Fun
Review: This was a good movie...I was doubtful after seeing some of Disney's latest flix, and especially after vowing not to take my kids to see anymore after The Hunchback. This video was clean, fun, with no underlying messages or double entendres. (Which is more than I can say for many kids films these days, such as The Iron Giant and its gratuitous use of adult language--totally unecessary!) It was well done graphically and musically, and I am recommend it for anyone who is unsure.

Summary: Stunning!
Review: Disney has done an incredible job in delivering a breath-taking visual experience, once again pushing the envelope in animation.As for the story, teens and older should read the book (a classic).

Summary: Visually sophisticated idiocy.
Review: Disney is tired, very tired. The company has at it's disposal the enormously skilled animators and technicians, quite eloquent script writers and - which is probaably more important now - very effecient marketers, who can sell anything to the world audience. I was stunned by the visuals and Tarzan is up to date - thanks to the chief animator's scateboarding and surfing son who was a model for the main character. But could you cross your heart and say that the film is the real thing? I can't. The plot is 50% exploitation of the Mowglee theme. The child, hunted by the feline predator finds a new family among the jungle animals, which mean trouble to his adoptive parents. Also there is a problem of identity. When you hear - You are not one of us - addressed to the boy at the first scenes of the movie you can bet you'll hear: - You are one of us! - at the end. What happens in between is also very predictable - the villains come to jungle to be make evil but after the spectacular sacrifices they are repelled by joint animal-human forces. All the characters are just a cardboard cutouts, their breathtaking dynamic range is in contrast with their one-dimensional behavior. Disney is as always trying to please everyone and just reproducing the stereotypes of the past years. I am aware that this statement is also became quite stereotypical but that is true. Sometimes to be conventional it is acting quite ridiculous.In the last scene the girl decides to stay with her beau and instead of telling the sailors to row to the shore - which is just less than 100 feet and 5 minutes away - she jumps in a water soaking wet. Soon she is followed by the most pseudo-endearing and predictable character of the movie - the 1001th clone of the scholarly eccentric. He is breaking the waves so comically! Why I am not laughing? Yes, yes, it's just a kiddie cartoon, and the jump in the water is more dramatic than rowing back. I am not going to teach Disney it's trade but the sailors could animate their way back by some funny grimaces and joyful comments on the girl's choice. Also it's not that I am so adult I can not appreciate the simple good-natured fun of Disney's animation. My 7-year old son said: - It's good, but...It's like more beautiful and boring Mowglee.- Yes, it's the end of the century and what do you expect? Every plot is used, every character is exploited hundred times. But look at the Warner's The Iron Giant. They risked and now we have that masterpiece! Me and son were crying when the giant closed his eyes and said - Superman...- before the bomb exploded. Maybe it's time for Disney to experiment and come up with something unexpected instead of selling the same old thing for megabucks?

Summary: The radical forest
Review: This film is great! Lots of fun and thrilling action. Edgar Rice Burroughs must be tumbling on his grave, but in satisfaction. Some things as been added and taken from the original story like Terk, Tarzan surfing in the trees and that he don't see where did he came from (London, that is). There is some sexuality, but in a very secretly way because this is a family movie. I recomend it very much.

Summary: How to make a gem without violence!
Review: Technically, this movie is perfect. Great songs, beautifully designed scenarios, endearable funny characters and a strong feeling of nostalgia for movies that aim to a higher message. Regretfully, whoever is a parent these days is having a lot of trouble to explain the violence shown in cartoons to their sons. Moreover, it's hard to endorse any t.v. cartoons other than Pinky and the Brain or history related ones. Tarzan demonstrates that there is such thing such as a Family Film and that you can create visually stunning gems as this movie and, still, send a message other than gross scenes or blood and guts spilled all over. Thank you, Disney.

Summary: From Idianapolis.. Great Movie
Review: I have to say that the person from Chicago is way to analytical! This is a childrens movie without a doubt.. Take it from a mother that is very protective of the tv programs that her children watch.. This was very animated and there was no gross violence that all the new cartoons these days have in it.. It was a love story, a frienship story, a happy and a sad story. As an adult, I loved it and highly reccomend it for you and your children. It is something that you can sit down as a family and enjoy together.. Try not to analyze this movie, just enjoy it, it's great!
