No classic, but very enjoyable.

Reviews for Tarzan
Top CriticA film for Uncle Walt to be proud of -- with a strong story- line and superior animation.

Top CriticHighly enjoyable, great looking animated adventure that combines its touching storyline with plenty of wit and style.
09/02/08
Top CriticA mediocre movie turned horrid by a bunch of radio-friendly pop songs.
01/01/00
As yawn-inducing as most of his live-action brethren.
01/01/00
Seems designed more for its marketing ability than for actual filmmaking potential.
01/01/00
Tarzan is the cinematic equivalent of a Cajun McChicken sandwich — it's a little bit bold, a little bit spicy, and a whole lot of McMovie.
01/01/00
Not without its engaging moments.
01/01/00
It can’t keep up the pace and it fails to generate the laughs that adults have enjoyed in Disney’s past two summer hits, Mulan and Hercules.
01/01/00
It's hard not to read the film in racial terms and the result is a confused mess of mixed signals that substitutes a brutal climax for any kind of satisfactory resolution.
01/01/00
Travels light, moves quickly and leaves very little in its wake.
03/22/02
Disney Studios seems to love the concept of feral children.
01/01/00
It never wowed me and won me over.
01/01/00
Perhaps Disney thought the best way to get around the ooga-booga stereotype was to eliminate blacks altogether.
01/01/00
A typical Disney knuckle dragger.
01/01/00
Animated to perfection, the film is especially captivating as Tarzan zips through the jungle like he's surfing the tree cover.
01/01/00
Just as Disney animation has become increasingly impressive, so have Disney animated films become increasingly adult.
10/18/08
A visual delight that will leave you breathless as you soar through the primordial jungle with the legendary ape man.
01/01/00
The movie itself is filled with more fun than any Tarzan film in decades.
01/01/00
It's both a little scary and a lot funny, and kids will no doubt lap it up.
