Tarzan (1999)

The first thing I remember about this Tarzan film would have to be the opening scene of how Tarzan became, well.. Tarzan to put it simply, the second would have to be the main theme song of Tarzan called Two Worlds. The song itself almost makes the entire film completely giving that jungle feel to the film itself in one little beat. Mentioning the music I have to say at some points hard-core Disney lovers may not like this as there is only really one song done in the style of a musical but to me been less music in it worked brilliantly well and I thought it was great that they worked more on the story rather than the next memorable Disney tune like the ones in the Lion King films. 

Characters in this film are very loveable, especially Tarzan and his companions which are show with him from when he was a little boy to a man or to a monkey to a gorilla...The relastionship between Tarzan and Jane is probably one of the best pieces of how the story is put together in the film because it is also how Tarzan learns about where he came from which also brings up many beautiful scenes and images of human history. Action is done quite amazing in this film as Tarzan himself is an amazing acrobat which he spends most of the time vine swinging a manoeuvring himself through the tree's instead of brawling like the average primate. Some of the style of the animation put into the action is done very well and is very realistic when scenery is involved from the sketched out backgrounds especially in the scenes with the leopards and baboons. 

Tarzan is also a film when it is trying to be funny it actually is funny where as in some cartoon films you can be just glaring at the screen thinking erm no. The expressions coming from Tarzan and how he acts when he first runs into Jane and her exploration party let's say is will leave you with a snigger of laughter but it won't leave you in stitches but it does the job.I thought one of the memorable scenes in this film would be when Tarzan walks out in a suit of his real fathers after he is shown where he really came from, to me it shows that he r wants to be part of the human society and also be with the people where he truly belongs as throughout the film Tarzan explains or shows that he has always felt different and un-wanted from his clan. There is of course love been a Disney film, to me I don't think it was really needed but I guess without Jane he would never have wanted to find out where he came from. 


Overall an amazing Disney film, it may not please hard-core Disney lovers with its lack songs and its different style of animation but nothing you shouldn't be able to let go of anytime soon. Plus it also has a Beauty and the Beast reference in it which I thought was good, beside the point though... I think.
