Summary: One of the best recent Disney movies,
Review: This movie is probably one of the best recent Disney movies, as well as of all times. It's got humorous and serious moments both, and always makes me really emotional. Plus, there are some songs but it's not the corny musical style numbers that Disney had been making a lot of in the 90's.

The animation also is amazing, and this film featured well-blended cg in the scene where Tarzan slides down the trees, showing that Disney is still a pioneer in animation techniques. You will not lose with this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: True to the Original!!
Review: In terms of animation, this has to be one of the most recent best which Disney has produced. From the beginning segments to the end, it is a whirlwind adventure.

Phil Collins drumbeats are an incredible addition to this film's vision to keep to the original story. And one of the most marvelous things about this story, is that there isn't any singing going on between Tarzan and Jane. They are who they are and can be appreciated outside of any singing and dancing.

If you're looking for a great couple of hours of entertainment, this is a good place to look. In fact, look no further. It is here!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Film
Review: Disney brings the legendary story of the Lord of the Apes to animation with excellent results. The film follows the story of Tarzan, a young baby orphaned and alone in the jungle. After being found by a kindly gorilla named Kala, Tarzan is adopted into the gorilla family and raised as one of them. As he grows up, he attempts to prove himself to his family, most specifically the family's patriarch, Kerchak. This becomes even more difficult when more humans come into the jungle, including a spirited Englishwoman named Jane Porter. As he begins to fall in love with her, his loyalties are divided and he must choose whether to stay with his gorilla family or remain with Jane. The film is excellent, but, to me at least, doesn't seen to really take off until Jane enters the picture half way through the story. Most of Tarzan's adventures with sidekicks Terk the gorilla and Tantor the elephant near the beginning of the film are not as interesting as many of the events later on. The music by Phil Collins is great, the animation stunning, and the relationships between both Tarzan and Jane and Tarzan and his adopted-parents are also well played as well. A very well crafted film and worthy of being called one of Disney's best.

Summary: Excellent! :)
Review: I was totally amazed that disney created this movie. It is absolutly spectacular. The animation will totally blow you away, and the action scenes are totaly great. The thing that really amazed me was that you actually saw Tarzan's dead parents in the corner and the bloddy footmarks from Sabor the leopord. And Clayton is also one hell of a villain.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Subtract 14 stars from my rating.
Review: First of all, don't get me wrong here.. I've always liked Disney movies. I mean c'mon, everybody, old and young.. we all grew up watching them, but this is [bad]... Why do they continue to make the characters' eyes bigger and bigger? Walt is more than likely spinning in his grave at the moment.
Ya' know, I've always thought of Tarzan as a masculine, purely instinctive person, not a dropout Looney Tunes character with eyes that resemble pogs, sliding around on treelimbs in speeds of excess of 50mph (or so it appears about that fast, anyways).
I only saw around 30 minutes of this disappointing [movie], and decided not to torture my VCR any further...

Summary: The best animation ever produced by Disney
Review: Disney's animation has varied greatly lately, varying from such horrible animation as Atlantis, to the great animation of Beauty and the Beast. Even in comparison to the most recent disney film, Treasure Planet, Tarzan's animation is STILL much better than any other Disney film ever created. The studies of human anatomy are so amazing that if you look you can actually see that Glenn Keane and his team actually animated the character Tarzan from the bone up! The amount of work and money and time that has been put into this movie is quite apparent and makes the film ever that much more better.

While the comic relief characters of Terk and Tantaur are simply not needed (that role is taken by Porter), they do not totally detract from the movie's quality, as they seem to take very much a back seat through most of the movie. The character acting and animation is quite astonishing, as the animator John Ripa brings us through the feelings Tarzan goes through as a young boy coping with the harsh reality that he will never truly fit in with those he believes to be his family; as well as the feelings of love and understanding we find when the great master animator, Glen Keane puts his pencil to paper and helps us fall in love with Jane, and shed tears as we say goodbye to Kala, the ape mother of Tarzan.

Overall, Tarzan is an amazing film, the story, the characters, the backgrounds, and the animation are the best Disney has ever had since it's movie, Beauty and the Beast, and has only now been challenged by its latest movie Treasure Planet. I recommend this movie to anyone who has even the slightest appreciation for quality animation/film, as it ranks as one of the highest most well-done animated feature lenght films of all time.

Summary: A fine tuned disney masterpiece
Review: This movie has to boast one of the best soundtracks Disney has to offer. The animation is stunning. Jane is every bit as charming as Belle, and Ariel, and has to be one of the most well drawn disney female characters put out, with her big eyes and sweet facial expressions. You could tell disney spent a lot of time studying the gorillas and their mannerisms and habits with the amount of realism that was given to them. The humor is trademark disney, charming and funny without being overly corny. Disney does recycle a lot of it's older themes, but it works this time. I recently rewatched this movie and I was stunned at how well done it is.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie
Review: This is a good Disney animated film. One of my favorite Disney movies. Well my first favorite Disney film was this is hard but I'll say Monsters Inc. My next favorite Disney film is Return to Never Land and this is my third favorite Disney movie. I loved it. Well my least favorite movie is Lilo and Stitch. I love Disney animated films. They really look beautiful. You should also get Tarzan and Jane.

Rating: 4 stars
