Tarzan (1999)

Strangers Like Me was always a favorite

I've always liked it and loved the music, but I can't stand Jane's weird elongated nose or Minnie Driver's voice.

R2 Yeah, I am not a big Driver fan, but she is good in this. It works

Loved it

I preferred this version, or the Skarsgård version, or any other live-action version.

R5 He is sexy too

What happened to him?

So...the *second* Tarzan she voiced?

[quote]The animation is also exceptional, with the innovative use of Deep Canvas technology allowing 2D characters to interact seamlessly with 3D environments, creating an immersive jungle experience that feels dynamic and alive.

Looked fantastic on the big widescreen in the theatre.

"Son Of Man", great song and great "adult" reveal.

R8 I agree, it is beautiful

It IS Tarzan!

They was a dreadful movie with horrid CGI, but it was nice to have a lot of shirtless Skarsgard.

Christopher Lambert wasn't so bad look either

I love this scene.

"That ain't my baby!"

I saw it in theaters. The thick, realistic jungle animation is the only thing I really remember.

I used to ogle the animated Tarzan, which is clearly made in Tony Goldwyn’s image.

They had to de-sexy Tarzan, so they made his hands and feet outrageously big (like an ape's) and gave him a pointy jaw. Otherwise they would have faced censorship problems since he spends the whole movie in a loincloth.

It's too bad the fisting scene never went beyond storyboard.

Josh Strickland on Broadway was stunning.

Too bad the film has Rosie's stink all over it.

The stage show at Animal Kingdom at WDW was always a lot of fun.

A friend of mine (female) who worked on it banged two of the Tarzans one summer.

She was a whore, and I was proud of her.

OP watches cartoons.

R19 thank you, DJT

It's a cartoon!

I didn't know Glenn Close was in it. That's her second Tarzan film since she dubbed Andie MacDowell's voice in Greystoke.

I like this one, although most of the films past Lion King had issues. I would watch anything up to and including Home On The Range, though, over most of the CGI animated films that succeeded them (with some exceptions here and there).

I think Disney tied themselves to a release schedule that emphasized quantity over quality, and it started to show with the 2D animated films. They also chose sometimes grandiose subjects that didn't mesh well with their insistence on adhering to a formula. "Hunchback" stands out as an example of this, for me. If they were going to tackle that story they could have put aside the need for humorous sidekicks and just gone whole hog on a dark, gothic take. Instead we get a weird mish-mash of darkness with jarring, kid-friendly comedy that doesn't work. They seemed compelled to serve an adult audience while still catering to kids. It worked with "Beauty & The Beast," but not very well elsewhere.

Tarzan & Milo

I hear you, r25, re: Hunchback’s weird tone.

Disney was still licking their wounds from the decision to ditch the talking animals in Pocahontas.

They probably felt backed into a kiddy-friendly corner when Pocahontas underperformed and didn’t nab a best picture nom like Beauty and the Beast.

I vaguely remember seeing this film at the cinema. It's quite dark for Disney, isn't it? In the first few minutes, you see Tarzan's parents' corpses poking out from behind a wall (I think?), and a cute little baby monkey gets eaten off-screen. And the film ends with the villain accidentally hanging himself.

I can't understand what possessed Disney to think teen sensation Phil Collins was down with the kids.

Wow to R5.

I prefer the live action version featuring Brendan Fraser. He was so fkin hot back then.

Great soundtrack and he won an Oscar for the song "You'll Be In My Heart" too.
