Summary:Disney tells the tale of Tarzan (Tony Goldwyn), the orphaned boy who was adopted by gorillas and raised as one of their own. Tarzan grows up in the jungle until he meets some of his own kind, including Jane (Minnie Driver). Clayton has evil intentions, and Tarzan must stop him, save his family, and protect Jane. Ultimately, Tarzan must decide whether to rejoin the human race, or stay with the gorillas who raised him.

Review:

Tim: I really, really liked this movie. Of course, it is directed for children, but it will also appeal to adults. Phil Collins adds so much into this film with his song, "You'll Be in My Heart". The animation is amazingly done, and is fun to look at. The story flows well, with an occasional choppy part. Overall, this is a fun movie that the whole family will enjoy.

Tarzan also does a good job shielding children from the harsher parts of the movie. There are five deaths throughout the film, and each one is written so as to soften the blow. O'Donnell brings much to the film in the part of Turk, and Driver is excellent as Jane. Tantar the elephant is a character that everyone will love. I recommend this movie, and most especially if you have kids or younger brothers and sisters. They will love this movie, I guarantee.
