Tarzan, Disney
This is less of a musical than some
of Disney's other animated movies, and more Phil Collins singing his
songs as background music. "You'll be in my Heart" won an Oscar for best original song.
However
Tony and I loved this show. It is a telling of the Edgar Rice Burroughs classic. It was good action, neat animals, and
Tarzan can (Tony Goldwyn) slide on limbs and jump from vine to vine like nobody’s
business. It has the intrigue of Tarzan being raised by the apes, after
jaguar kills his parents. (His mother is voiced by Glen Close.) It also has the pretty girl, Jane (Minnie Driver) and the mean
hunter, Clayton (Brian Blessed) who hopes to become rich by selling all the gorillas to zoos.
This
is a movie about friendship, and how in the end, friendship is
important, and can overcome pride. Tarzan is torn between his own kind and those he has lived
with. This makes for some sentimental pleasantness.
