Review of Tarzan (1999) by Jim A — 10 Jul 2013
My absolute favourite 2D animated motion picture ever made. No other animated picture has ever had such an emotional impact on me, ever since I was a child. This has in my opinion the most breathtaking animation in any 2D animated film ever.
The jungle comes to life with some beautifully painted backgrounds and hand drawn characters. The characters are expertly written. Jane in particular is so well written, I simply love her personality and is what makes her so incredibly likable and relatable.
The dramatic scenes gives me tears every single time. Tarzan`s inner struggles are prominant through out. His difficulty fitting in with the gorillas, the relationship he has with his father, the difficult choices he has to make.
Phil Collins made some truly fantastic songs for this motion picture my favourites being "You`ll be in my heart" and "Two worlds". Oh and I almost forgot, this movie is full of fast-paced and exhilarating action sequences.
Both the chase and the final showdown in particular are superb. The script, the animation, the narrative, the themes, the voice acting, the soundtrack absolutely everything is perfect from start to finish.
My favourite Disney movie of all time. Ohh, how I miss Disney`s golden age.
