Fantastic! Another Disney Classic

Rating: 10/10 (24 June 1999)

Again Disney shows they are the tops in animation. Great music, fun characters and breath-taking CGI work make one of the most true to Burroughs original story adaptations ever.
So what if you get the background of the story in a ten minute rap-up. Do you want to sit for hours getting the background so the story can finally begin? In media res, is the term I think that applies here.
Thank goodness there are no "cute fuzzy" sidekicks just for the kiddies. Terk and Tantor are very real characters that help move the plot and along and are not just comic releaf. Maybe Disney will get the hint that family entertainment is for all of the family to enjoy, not talk down to the kids. Bugs Bunny is a classic example of humor that grows on you and is funny at different ages for different reasons. The action is fast paced and the kids should not be bored with what is going on.
The music is by Phil Collins and Mike Mancia. Great, fantastic wonderful! Enough said. Buy the CD.
This is a fun, entertaining movie that I can't wait to own on Video. Two thumbs way up on this one....
