Amazon.co.uk Review
After viewing ISnow White and the Seven Dwarfs/I, Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote to Walt Disney about adapting his novel of an ape-man into a feature animated cartoon. Sixty odd years later, the tale is finally told with brilliant design work that looks unlike any previous animated film. The story is a natural for Disney since the themes of misunderstood central figures have been at the heart of most of its recent hits. Disney's ITarzan/I doesn't wander far from the familiar story of a shipwrecked baby who is brought up by apes in Africa. What gives the film its zing is its clever use of music (the songs are sung by Phil Collins himself rather than onscreen characters) and the remarkable animation. Deep Canvas, a 3-D technology, was developed for the film, creating a jungle that comes alive as Tarzan swings through the trees, often looking like a modern skateboarder racing down giant tree limbs. The usual foray of sidekicks, including a rambunctious ape voiced by Rosie O'Donnell, should keep the little ones aptly entertained. The two lead voices, Tony Goldwyn as Tarzan and Minnie Driver as Jane, are inspired choices. Their chemistry helps the story through the weakest points (the last third) and makes Tarzan's initial connection with all things human (including Jane) delicious entertainment. Disney still is not taking risks in its animated films, but as cookie-cutter entertainment, ITarzan/I makes a pretty good treat. p BOn the DVD/B: It's the dish--mistakes, unused footage, creative differences, embarrassing behind-the-scene stories--that makes collector's editions so much fun. Unfortunately, this goes against the Disney philosophy of picture-perfection, and this two-set disc shows it; only half of the new material is engaging. The other half of this second disc, the "Tarzan Archives," is a slickly produced filler--more publicity fluff than real insight on the development of the film and the animation process. Much better are the three abandoned scenes (with voices and storyboards), including a much fiercer opening and ending, plus dozens of sketches made over the years as the designers pursued the luscious look of the film. The original audio demos Phil Collins made for the film are also intriguing (mostly filled with dummy or place-holding lyrics). The new audio commentary (by the producer and two directors) is a "fireside chat" variety, hardly worth more than one listen. Two side-by-side comparisons of storyboards to final film are a great tool to show youngsters how the animated process works, as is animator Glen Keane's talks on animating Tarzan. Also for kids: a read-along book and trivia game. --IDoug Thomas/I

5 out of 5 stars only disney could do it!   March 28, 2005
this is 1 of my favourite if not my favourite disney animation ever! not only is the story brilliantly animated with both funny and sad scenes but the music is excellant from Phil Collins! definitely worthy of 5 stars it will have you on the edge of your seat singing along...and yes thats you and the kids!


4 out of 5 stars Good film. Extras leave a lot to be desired   May 13, 2004
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Being an avid Disney DVD fan I've added this Collector's addition to my collection.pThe film is very good and in the typical Disney mould. There's animal's that talk and Tarzan overcomes his enemy to get the girl.pThe extra's leave a lot to be desired. There's how the film was made etc, but not much for the kids, like with say Beauty The Beast Collector's Edition.pMy tip is to buy the single edition, unless your mind is set on getting every Disney DVD like me...

5 out of 5 stars Disney still knows how to entertain!   August 29, 2001
  4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Being a Disney fan I am slightly prejudice, however sincerely this is a great film! The animation is superb bringing to life Tarzan, Jane and all the other 'secondary' Disney characters that usually steal the show. I found the film both laugh-out-loud funny as well as touching, hitting on genuinely important issues in an entertaining way. This film is a must for both the little and big kids of the family!
