Hmmm... Not bad...

Rating: 8/10 (26 June 1999)

Tarzan is yet another triumph (not powerful) from Disney. The characters seemed well thought up and played well from the actors. Goldwyn supplies a nice voice of Tarzan, Knight and O'Donnell supply appealing kids voices, Driver gives a nice British standoff as Jane, Close was good as the motherly Kala, and Hawthorne didn't seem so bad as Professor Porter. An amazing thing also is that the animation is top notch from the usual bunch as we see panoramic views of Tarzan swinging and surfing through vines. There are many things that made this movie also different. There isn't much musical interludes like the usual (total in movie: 3). It seemed pretty violent, like the fight against a leopard or blood of a mauling of parents. Then there's the haunting figure of a man's shadow that looks like he was hung. It may be different from other Disney films but it was good. Hopefully we don't get a rehashed sequel from this...
