Overall: VERY good!

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 1999)

First (and most striking) about Disney's Tarzan is the animation. Disney has definitely pushed the envelope forward in this groundbreaking display of beautiful animation. The jungle, indeed each individual vine, has incredible depth and the lighting and coloring is fabulous! The pioneering "deep canvas" effect has rendered Disney's great animation unparalleled! Truly, the animation in Tarzan is of a caliber never before seen. On a side note, one of the previews played at my showing of Tarzan was for "The Iron Giant" by Warner Brothers. The animation in this preview was of the kind you might see on a Saturday morning cartoon . . . it certainly makes you appreciate the magic in Disney animation, UNPARALLELED!
The music standing alone was pleasant, a nice set of songs . . . in context with the lush and powerful animation, the Phil Collins melodies are PERFECT for the film, I would say nothing less than fabulous! The narrative form of the songs is also a nice touch.
The characters are good and the storyline is fair.
Overall, Tarzan is VERY good, even GREAT!
9 out of 10!
(If for nothing else, see this movie for its animation)
