If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
even not surpassing the first, this second film is very satisfying in my opinion, I always liked the Tarzan as a kid, and when I saw Tarzan 2, I found that the story is when it's a child, it's very cool to see the classics characters reappear children, I loved this movie, it is advisable for young people is a very underrated,but it's a great sequence, as many sequences of Disney films which has a cool animation and that much fun to young people.Tarzan 2 is stored by me in my heart, when I think about my childhood is hard not to think of this movie, don't underestimate this movie, if you like something fun and funny, this film is for you, if you like something more mature and serious, look for another movie or watch the first
Hilarious and irresistible animated feature from Disney. The beginning of a legend, after all Tarzan was not always the King of the Jungle. Tarzan(voiced by Harrison Chad)was once an awkward little guy just trying to fit in. One of his missteps put his family in harms way, so he decided they would be better off without him. He finds himself in a family of apes and his life becomes adventurous and a learning experience. His new journey has him coming in contact with the most powerful force around, the mystical Zugor(voiced by George Carlin). Young Tarzan learns that being different is not always a bad thing; and it is wonderful to be close to family and friends. Other voices in this action-packed film for all ages: Brad Garrett, Glenn Close, Brenda Grate, Lance Henriksen and April Winchell. There is also some new inspirational tunes from song-smith Phil Collins.
I really, really like the first Disney's animated Tarzan movie. The story was good and the dialog was inventive and funny. Maybe I'm just tired of animated movies, but watching this Tarzan II was a let down.The story is very simple. Boy Tarzan is frustrated because he can't run fast enough and isn't strong enough, and gets separated from his family when a tree across a deep ravine crashed down while his family is crossing in a storm. He evades one trouble and ends up in the presence of the old ape (George Carlin) who tells Tarzan that he isn't an ape. So Tarzan sets out to figure out what he really is.So, with the help of his friends he finally is reunited with, and his mother, he figures out what he is -- a "Tarzan", someone who can figure out things that the apes can't. So, in a sense, this is the very beginning of what he was to become, Tarzan of the jungle.
This straight-to-video Disney sequel, taking place when Tarzan is still a boy, is so perfectly executed, it feels as though it could've been additional material cut from the first movie. Tarzan, finding that he can't keep up with the other gorilla youngsters, begins to question who and what he is, and the film is more or less about his self-discovery and how he begins the transformation from just being a human boy to becoming the 'Tarzan' we all know and love. All of your favorite characters are back (except Jane and the professor of course), as well as the voice talents of Glenn Close as Kala and Lance Henrikson as Kerchak. The casting director did a wonderful job in finding a young voice talent to perfectly match the young Tarzan from the original. Furthermore, it appears that most of the original animators are back as well, for the animation is something to behold, and a few new songs as well as a reprise from the first film by Phil Collins make it that much more convincing. This film has the passion and heart that is usually lacking in the great majority of Disney sequelsyou can really feel the care and respect for the material by all involved in the production. It's both touching and humorous, and not just for childrenadults will find this amusing as well. Now if Disney will just follow suit and continue to make sequels such as this one, maybe they can actually put more than one every ten years in the theater.VERDICT: Disney succeeds in finally making a worthwhile sequel, much of the caliber of the original. Recommended to allif you liked the original Tarzan, you'll like this one. And to all you collectors out there, this one is definitely worth the $20I know I'll be adding it to *my* collection sometime in the near future.7.5 out of 10.0~AleXa~
