  • Tarzan. Thinking about giving this movie a watch?
    In this movie review, I discuss what Tarzan has to offer to movie fans today and whether they should stay far away, or give it a shot.
    Tarzan, released in 1999 was Walt Disney's final film in the 90's Disney renaissance. Starring Tony Goldwyn, Minnie Driver, Glenn Close and Phil Collins with the amazing soundtrack, Tarzan tells the story of a man raised by gorillas who must decide where he really belongs when he discovers he is a human.

    Tarzan is a bit like Treasure Planet in the sense that both characters feel like outcasts but I think that's why I was so drawn to such movies. As a foster child I never really fit in or was a true member of a family so it resonated with my childhood years at 9 to see this movie. It made you think that even though you're a misfit now oneday you'll become your own person and become strong

    Great video! So glad you took the time to review it! Personally it’s one of my ALL TIME favourites! Tarzan’s arc is underscored by his lack of acceptance from his “father” Kerchek, and I think the movie does a phenomenal job at developing that relationship - especially that final moment when Kerchak puts his hand on Tarzan’s shoulder and says “My son” ...gets me every time!

    You’re not wrong. The film feels like it wants to reach up for something dynamic, but bogs itself with easy answers, trying to fit the (at the time) expectedmodel for an animated film from the company. It’s still passionately animated, with the use of CG environments married to the 2D designs in key scenes. It feels like a good, not quite great picture.

    I used to play heck out of Disney's Tarzan on my old pc back in mid 2000s cuz we haven't had much to play in our house. That was my first experience of the movie from the in game cutscenes. I remember seeing the cutscene with "Son of man" and loving it with the bottom of my heart. This is impossible to convey in words. Then, near to 2010 I got the movie finally but was shocked that there was one. Surreal feeling to experience the characters how they intended to be

    Good morning! you play very nice, by the way. Brandon you gave an excellent analysis! Tarzan is a lovely and funny movie. As for the soundtrack, I think the songs are played this way because Tarzan never uses the pronouns "I" or "me", he always speaks in the third person, "Tarzan likes Jane". So, I guess the songs are in line with his character. My favourite Disney soundtrack is "A Whole New World" from Aladdin (1992).

    anything about Tarzan from the edgar rice burroughs books, tv shows, movies and disney. my fave tarzan actor is Joe Lara but i’ve seen them all. my fave song from the disney version is Two Worlds because on one hand he’s tarzan raised by the apes and on the other he’s john clayton, 3rd earl of greystoke so he’s caught between these two worlds. i’m 51 years old so i’ve seen a lot of tarzan movies etc . i wish there were men like tarzan out there in the world. he’s my hero, my book husband and my screen husband ( i wish)

    After rewatching it yesterday, it solidified that I always thought Tarzan was just a solid film. Yes, the soundtrack is great and I'm thankful Disney went with someone different when it comes to the music but at times he sorta outshines the movie which is a big issue. The movie does what it does well but the things you mentioned needed to be pushed more. I think it's a solid way to close out the Renaissance era and I will add it probably has the best blend of 2D and 3D animation in the era.

    One thing I wish they did with Clayton in this film was make him related to Tarzan. Because Tarzan’s English name, and the name of his father, is John Clayton. This could have set up a fascinating dynamic where Tarzan is initially torn between his loving adopted family (which Clayton is hunting) and this biological family member with ties to his origins. Clayton might be shocked to find his nephew or distant cousin alive, but it gets dark when he pretends to be his friend but intends to kill Tarzan and claim the family estate for himself.
