DVD Reviews of Tarzan IIDVD Review: Shall I rank it 2 stars or 3?? Summary: 3 Stars
I watched this movie when about 1 week after it was published. I thought it was good when I first watched it, but now I don't. However, this movie was not very bad, I just don't like it as I used to do.
The story and every plot was funny, and they made me laugh. But by all accounts, it was not a very excellent movie, it was only a comedy. Maybe I was affected by the remarks from many friends, then I watched this movie again, in order to find some defects of this movie. Needless to say, somewhat, I found.
Firstly, the story was not very good except it was funny. It was not like the original, it wasn't touching, none of the plots could make me feel warm or make my eyes wet. And I couldn't find the theme of this movie, sometimes I felt it was a little confused. What worse, sometimes I felt it strayed from the point. But it doesn't matter, maybe there was no point.
Secondly, I thought the tableaux of this movie were colorful, but not very smooth. The best of the tableaux was, at the end of the movie, young Tarzan swang through the jungle, everything on the backdrop was beautiful and natural. However, it's still not good enough.
Finally, I thought the music in this movie was not so good, though I couldn't say it was terrible. I doubted that whether Disney lazed, and Phil Collins did not so good as he used to do. Only "Who Am I" was good after a fashion. And the scores were not as good as the original's.
Generally speaking, this movie was much better than "Tarzan&Jane", but couldn't be compared with "Lady and the Tramp-2: Scamp's Adventure".

Description of Tarzan IIExperience the beginning of the legend with Disney's TARZAN(R) II, a hilarious, all-new, animated motion picture loaded with laughs, irresistible new songs by Phil Collins, and the inspired voice talent of Glenn Close, George Carlin, and Emmy Award winner Brad Garrett. Before he was King of the Jungle, Tarzan was an awkward young kid just trying to fit in. When one of his missteps puts his family in jeopardy, Tarzan decides they would be better off without him. His thrilling new journey brings him face to face with the mysterious Zugor, the most powerful force in the land. Together, Tarzan and Zugor discover that being different is not a weakness and that friends and family are the greatest strength of all. This action-packed adventure is sure to delight the entire family. Get ready to GO APE over Disney's wild, new TARZAN(R) II. TARZANŽ Owned by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. and Used by Permission. TARZAN IIŠ Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. and Disney Enterprises, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Whereas the original Tarzan tells the story of a man raised by gorillas who learns to bring together the human and animal worlds, Tarzan II is a prequel, of sorts, focusing on a chapter from Tarzan?s childhood where he realizes he is not an ape and sets out to discover his true identity. The young misfit runs away from his loving mother, Kala (voiced by Glenn Close), and wanders up the Dark Mountain to come face to face with the monstrous Zugor. But all is not serious in this 72-minute boondoggle; there is Disney?s usual foray into frivolity by way of a few wisecracking sidekicks--a couple of gorilla brothers named Uto and Kago, and their nettlesome Mama Gunda (voiced by Estelle Harris, a laudable choice). Despite the star-studded voice cast, there is a sense of re-tread ground here, and the story (loosely based on Edgar Rice Burroughs? distinctive tale) shows signs of formulaic Disney. Nonetheless, Phil Collins? trio of original songs livens the pace to make the effort a short-lived smile. (Ages 6 to 14) --Lynn Gibson
