Review of Tarzan (1999) by The-Lords A — 10 Apr 2011
Tarzan. The final film of the glorious Disney Renaissance. Nuff' said as an intro.
Plot:Tarzan is a man who was raised by gorillas after his ship-wrecked were killed by Sabor, a leopard. He grows up learning the ways of the Gorillas trying to please their leader Kerchak. but his world is taken to a whole different direction when other humans such as the hunter Clayton, Professor Porter and the lovely Jane.
This is a very unique take on the story of Tarzan. Tarzan is based on a series of books containing Tarzan's adventures and it has a different take on his original story. for instance, Tarzan's parents were actually killed by Kerchak (who is much more salvage in the books), Clayton is actually the last name of Tarzan's first name, which I don't fully know. His ape-mother Karla was killed earlier in the series but that's lame so it makes sense to keep her alive in his movie. Altogether, it's not one of my Disney favorites, but it still has lots of humor and charm for it to be enjoyable.
Characters:
Tarzan:The only things i'll say in particular about Tarzan is how A) it's sort of strange yet still cool how Tarzan as all these crazy moves like branch sliding trees and some tricks for when he's vine swinging. and B) his interesting ability to impersonate thing perfectly like animal noises and even gun shots.
Clayton:He wasn't the most incredibly evil Disney villain, but he certainly had a way of being maniacal during the end of the film.
Jane:She was cute looking and a decently fun character. that's all there is to say about her to me.
Professor Porter: silly goofy guy. nuff said.
Terk and Tantor: they were fun, their song with the other gorillas was stupid fun, and Terk was actually voiced by Rosie O'Donnell. nice.
Music: It was just great. the general thing about this film to me is that if you do not really care for the film, you should really at least love the music. it just had a lot of great songs to remember, some of which were done by Phil Collins.
And that is my review for Tarzan.
