Wonderful character development!
hyped garbage
A Masterpiece!
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Firstly, let me say that Tarzan is a wonderful piece of animation with CG-backgrounds blending in flawlessly behind 2D rendered characters. In some movies I CG-backgrounds ugly and unpleasant (Titan A.E. for instance). I like the action scenes and the soft moments, both do good jobs at catching the audience. The songs are memorable as well, probably the finest work of Phil Collins as a singer/songwriter. And now for my few adjustments. They should have scrapped Clayton as the villain and made Sabor the main villain. Sapora kills Tarzan's parents! And brutally battles Tarzan in one scene! I would have loved to see more of that. Perhaps that would have changed the story significantly, but I would still love to see it. Aside from that little thing I really like the final product
This is about a lost boy in the jungle.A little boy that got away from his parents after a shipwreck.Some apes raises the kid, and he becomes a handsome man.Later on he finds a new girlfriend.But, also the villain in the form of a man called Clayton.It was at that time when Phil Collins had his heydays, as he did the soundtrack.The songs are typical Phil Collins with lots of drums and percussions.For animation it is striking.Just like when Tarzan surfs the trees.There something for all here with tense chases, tree surfing, funny sidekicks and memorable songs.10/10
This film is incredibly precious to my heart. It was one of the first movies I saw on the theaters on the big screen when it was brand new and I still remember it now. Retelling the tale of a human infant raised by gorillas, this is by my standards the definitive version of the story. One thing I always enjoyed is that unlike in the original novel, the character of Sabor is not a lion, but a leopard. That is biologically correct because one, lions do not actually live in the jungle and two, in an environment like this, the leopard would technically be the only large animal capable on hunting a gorilla. I also cherished Wayne Knight as the cowardly elephant Tantor, which always results in the greatest jokes in the film. And the music by Phil Collins is well thought out. Highly recommended as a family film
A family is shipwrecked and stranded in the jungle. Sabor the leopard kills the parents and Kala the gorilla rescues the baby. Despite leader Kerchak's disapproval, Kala raises the baby naming him Tarzan. Brash gorilla Terk befriends him and they meet fearful elephant Tantor. When Sabor attacks, Tarzan saves Kerchak and the group with his spear. Professor Porter and his daughter Jane are studying the gorillas led by their hunter guide Clayton. Jane is chased by a pack of baboons and Tarzan rescues her. Tarzan becomes torn between the jungle and going with Jane to England.The animation is terrific and very energetic. Tarzan swinging in the trees is exciting. The traditional tale is a bit stale and I don't think the montage sequences are that compelling. The Phil Collins music may not be a great fit for a Disney kids movie. Nevertheless this is a good animated movie for the whole family. It has enough excitement and maintains the interest of the audience.
