Tarzan The Apeman (DVD)

Advantages: loads of great extras on this one
Disadvantages: none

.../2 hours there is a brilliant commentary feature by Producer, Bonnie Arnold (who also produced on Toy Story) and Directors Kevin Lima (director of Goofy Movies & 102 Dalmatians )and Chris Buck (an animator on many Disney films in including The Fox and the Hound and The Little Mermaid). Children will love the read along story book on this disc which has 2 possibilities - you can read the story yourself or have it read to you. As well as this you can test your knowledge of the film with the Interactive Trivia Game where you have a choice of 3 answers and try to get the Tarzan roar to signal you have picked correctly. There is also a sneek peek at the Dinosaur Film - obviously this has been out quite a while now too but it is a lovely feature. This dvd is also interactive with your pc and you can play the demo version of the Tarzan game as... Read review

Advantages: Fun Film and even more fun with the extras
Disadvantages: The songs were perhaps not as memorable as they could have been

...I think it's families like mine that keep Disney in business. Let me explain, we have a collection of virtually every DVD that they've ever released, from the classic animations, to live action to the straight to DVD sequels.

Advantages: Sequel to a Brilliant Original, Catchy Songs, Better animation than most disney sequels , voice acting does the original justice
Disadvantages: Doesn't follow on from the first (a prequel of Tarzan's Youth) , lacking DVD extras, not as good as the original,

...the environments, backgrounds - even if the characters themselves lack a little. Sound is very good since the songs are once again performed by Phil Collins, i guess Disney realised Tarzan wouldn't be the same without him, and as always the music is great from Phil Collins. The movie is considerably shorter than the original by around fifteen minutes as most Disney sequels top off at around the 70 minute mark. That said, they have managed to make this sequel feel a lot longer and definately carries a more polished look to it. As for the DVD extras, you get a Music Video by Tiffany Evans of the "Who Am I" song from the film, which is not too bad and two interactive games, as well as some previews of upcoming disney movies such as Bambi II and Lilo and Stitch 2. Tarzan II is also the first DVD to feature Disney's FastPlay technology, which means... Read review
