TARZAN (1999) (ANIMATED) ****1/2 Tarzan is orphaned by a vicious lion out in the wilderness as a toddler. Accordingly, he is raised by gorillas who had come across him on their passing through. When he grows up, he tries to be accepted by the Gorilla King, the leader of the pack, who believes that he can never wholly be one of them. Amidst this tribal complication, a group of human adventurers come across the title character, only to find that he's never known there was civilization within his own kind. Now, Tarzan must decide if he will stay with his family of apes, or go back to England with the humans to explore a whole other realm of life he never knew existed. I found the film funny, touching, and overall enjoyable. Great voice work from Tony Goldwyn, Minnie Driver, Glenn Close, Brian Blessed, Nigel Hawthorne, Wayne Knight, and Rosie O'Donnell.
