Movie Reviews of Tarzan & Jane
Movie Review: What Were They THinking?
Summary: 1 Stars
TARZAN AND JANE - is a movie that sorely needed viable story. It was obviously intended for very young kids. There is nothing for the adults in this movie. Even the voice characterizations are week and seemed to be forced in comparison to the original. None of the original actors came back to do their voice - and I know why now that I have seen it. It has three very week stories written in the Narrative format. Meaning, these are past adventures told by the animal characters like - "Remember when Tarzan did this?" and "Remember when Jane did this?" Extremely week and cheap plot devices.Don't get me wrong, Return To Neverland (the sequel to Peter Pan), Alladins' two sequels and even Pocahantas' sequel were. All were direct-to-video, but still entertaining for the young and old alike.
Stay away from this one. Even the DVD extras are not that interesting. What were they thinking? Didn't anyone read the script? And Michael Eisner approved this? Yikes! (12-9-02)
Movie Review: my tarzan-obsessed 2 year old even hates this!
Summary: 1 Stars
I think that is reason enough to steer away from this movie for your kids. She is a fan of the first Disney film and of the tv show based on it. Where this movie falls short is in the simple fact that it has drawn together 3 separate episodes of the tv show by imposing the slightest plot structure around it all. I guess they were hoping for a lot of buys from parents who figured it would be of the quality of the first film. I'm not a huge fan of children's movies, but even I enjoyed the first film. The music fit with the picture, and the story was well-paced and fun. This attempt lacks all of those qualities. It seems like a typical opportunity to reel in a little cash from the overly trusting public. Trust me. Don't buy it. If you want to see for yourself, rent it (but find it somewhere cheap).Movie Review: Disney's direct to video flounders
Summary: 1 Stars
As with so many direct to video titles, Disney's 'Tarzan & Jane' fails to live up to it's feature film predecessor. While the big screen ani-epic gave us fresh cel animation (courtesy of Glenn Keane's dynamic pencil), this video draws upon the television cash cow for it's 'inspiration' and fails to deliver the goods in terms of quality artwork or story development.
The result is an awkward series of flashbacks marking the 'adventures' of the couple's first year of wedded bliss. While young children may find the character's walking, talking, and tree surfing every bit as fascinating as it's big screen origin, adults will quickly tire of the limited animation and imagination in this dull follow-up.
Movie Review: Even my 2 year old was bored with it!
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie is truly bad. I don't think I've ever thought that about a Disney movie before. Even my 2 year old son, after watching it for about 15 minutes said "Let's watch old Tarzan, Mommy." The animation is terrible, the story lines insult the intelligence of even a toddler, and the voices are not even close to the originals. I think Terk may even be a boy in this one! I don't think the animators of this flick even WATCHED the first Tarzan!I'm very sorry we bought this in DVD format. It was a complete waste of money, and I bought it on the strength of the first film alone, which is what I'm sure Disney was hoping everyone would do!
Movie Review: The worst movie ever made.
Summary: 1 Stars
The title says it all. The first Tarzan movie was a work of art, however, this is a disgrace. They could have actually made an interesting plot with this, except they just threw it all away, adding in weird flashbacks and stuff, probably to direct you away from the lame plot. My eight-year-old cousin fell asleep in this, so I'm sure that I'm not the only one thinking the way I do. As far as Disney sequels that were only realeased on DVD and video go, I'd say the only one worth getting is The Lion King 1 1/2. That one was actually funny and had a plot.
I hope this review helped you save your well-earned money.
