Movie Reviews of Tarzan & Jane
Movie Review: A cute follow up to orginal movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for my three year old daughter because I am a sucker for Disney movies. By the time I decide I want a particular Disney movie they take it off the market so now I pretty much buy what ever they dish out which seems to be at the rate of once a month. I figure even a bad Disney movie is still better than most of the cartoons out there. I didn't have extremely high expectations for this movie but it was actually better than I thought it would be. I had a few chuckle moments watching it. My daughter liked it enough to watch it for stretches at a time. The story centers on Tarzan and Jane's one year anniversary. As Jane tries to think of what would be the best gift for Tarzan, she and the other characters remember incidents over the past year. My favorite was when Jane's friends came to visit her from England. There was definitly some adult humor as the riends admired Tarzan's body. The rest of the movie was basically Tarzan rescuing Jane from one dire predicament or another. I thought the scenes where Jane's ex boyfriend comes to visit were a little on the viloent side for a Disney movie. There is an intense airplane fight in the air with gunfire and the ex boyfrind aims a gun at Tarzan and Jane. I thought Disney movies were supposed to be on the less violent side. I think little girls will like the scenes with Jane and the animals but I think that some of the action sequences were geared more towards older kids mainly boys who would like movies such as Atlantis. Despite the shortcommings of the movie it was still nice to catch up and visit with Tarzan and Jane. I didn't think too much of the bonus activities on the dvd. I tried to do the build your own treehouse but was told that I wasn't very good at it by Jane's dad. It seemed boring anyway. The bit with Mandy Moore talking about her song was really annoying. Mandy has this to say about her song "I don't have to be Mandy Moore when I sing. I can I be a Disney Character, it's so liberating" or some shmaltz like that. If you can sit through it without wanting to toss your cookies more power to you.Movie Review: Tarzan & Jane
Summary: 4 Stars
Well I just wanted to clear up that Tarzan & Jane, contrary to popular belief IS NOT 3 of the TV show "The Legend of Tarzan" episodes. Believe me on that (I watch that show nearly every morning, most of the extra characters are on the show, though). Well, on to the movie itself! The animation isn't stupendous, but it's alright. I didn't really like the idea that there was 3 stories instead of 1 whole movie but , this is MUCH better than that awful Cinderella II ... The stories themselves weren't bad. My pesonal favorite was the lava one. The music was fine, and catchy. I normally hate Mandy Moore (because I'm an Anti-Pop-ist!) but I liked her song "Singing to the Song of Life". There are funny parts too, most of which are Terk's doing. Well all-in-all Tarzan & Jane is pretty good movie (the DVD games are cool, too). Anybody who liked the movie Tarzan should at least watch Tarzan & Jane to see how they like it. And anyone who likes "The Legend of Tarzan" show won't be disappointed.Movie Review: Great Bonus Track
Summary: 4 Stars
Okay, truth be told, the movie is pretty much what you'd expect - decent animation and story telling, but not as good as the original feature. The bonus track, however, is probably the coolest bonus track I've ever seen (it's called "Tarzan & Jane's Adventure Builder"). Strange to be saying this about one of Disney's B-titles, but it's true. It's a choose-your-own-adventure type story in which you get to decide what Tarzan should do. There are dozens of choices, and tons of different endings. I've played this track so many times and still can't believe how much new content there is each time. The production value on the bonus track is terrific - a rapid montage of stills that dissolve into each other, narrated by Tantor the elephant, set to a fully scored soundtrack. I hope Disney does more of these.Movie Review: Great Bonus Track

I bought this movie for my son who is 2 1/2 and he just cracks up. He loves the Professor! I hadn't seen the first one so I had nothing to compare it too. The idea is that it's for the children and not the adults (per say) so the little things like the shadows don't bother him one bit. Michael T. Weiss does a wonderful job as Tarzan and the girl who plays Jane is wonderful as well. We now own the first one as well and while the graphics are better than the sequel, it's not as bad as everyone says. So if you are buying the DVD for your child ;) I think that they will enjoy it. My son does and he doesn't sit through to many movies.
I would recommend it if anyone ask me.
Thanks,
