Tree-swinging entertainment in the best Disney mould.

Rating: 7/10 (6 November 1999)

Well done Disney for coming up with another hit. Although Aladdin and The Hunchback of Notre Dame were superior in terms of story and general presentation, Tarzan was a vast improvement over the likes of The Little Mermaid or Pocahontas, both of which lacked the charm that we've come to expect from Disney. Vocal performances by Minnie Driver and Glenn Close were well up to standard. Nevertheless, the film is far from mould-breaking, though this seems to be a minor concern.
Overall, Tarzan is an entertaining retelling of Burroughs' story.
