Review #55 | Tarzan

It has come time to review the one and only, Tarzan. With music from Phil Collins and animation from Disney, what more do you want?

Tarzan, 1999

Walt Disney Pictures' animated adventure Tarzan is an innovative and entertaining exploration of the classic tale by Edgar Rice Burroughs. With music by Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Phil Collins, Tarzan is an adventure that traces the story of a human baby who is orphaned in the African jungle and lovingly raised by a family of apes. Tarzan's peaceful and sheltered world is turned upside down by the arrival of a human expedition and the revelation that he is one of them. As he struggles to decide which "family" he belongs with, his dilemma is further complicated by his feelings for a beautiful young woman named Jane and the discovery that a trusted member of his new human "family" is plotting to harm the apes. With an inspired cast of vocal talents and new technological breakthroughs that bring added depth and dimensionality to the jungle settings, Disney's animated version of Tarzan captures the fantasy, excitement, and imagination of this literary favorite as never before.

Music, animation, character design, story, and the movie itself are stunning and spectacular! This movie made me cry. With touching moments and great action sequences Tarzan is never fails to entertain. So, let’s talk about Tarzan.

The first thing I want to say is the music. Phil Collins has done a great job, and without his performance it would not made the film great as it is. It breathes life to this animated feature. This is a movie where music has much influence in the movies mood and feel.

The animation is stunning and spectacular. From the authentic moves of Tarzan to clumsy but graceful moves of Jane, the animators have done A+ grade job! The jungle is beautiful and wild. The expressions with perfect music make it more emotional.

The story of Tarzan is relatable and it makes you want Tarzan to be happy just like his ape mother wants him to be happy. You want the best for him. After all, he lost his parents and lost everything that comes out of it. Love.
