Yup. Apparently Disney released it without much fanfare. Must.... muster up.... energy..... to.... see it...

Oh, who am I kidding? I'll probably sleep in.

To me, this is the perfect example of "Do Animated Shows Live Up to the Hype?" Seriously, do we really need to see what happens to the gang?
90% of the plot points will probably have some new terror threatening to demolish the jungle/capture one of Tarzan's pals. Just my guess...

Mainstream critics seem to think it's nice, acceptably exciting fare for kids.

Which probably means it sucks.

A trading post it build near Tarzan's home drives Elephants into Ape terrorty

The Trading post Radio tower causes the animals to go nuts

Theodore Roosevelt vists jungle gets kidnaped Tarazan has to save him.

a rival of Janes dad comes to the Jungle to steal his work.

A Mine is build and pollutes the jungle

Some Lepard Queen wants Tarzan as a mate

Tarzan leadership is challenged and he losses.

Dimond Miners use Tarzan as a guide but they plan to kill him so they don't have to pay him.

2 Army prisoners go AWOL and tries to hide out with Tarzan.

Tarzan gets very sick and only one rare flower can cure him.

The Elephant wants to climb the mountain to find some mystical all seeing elephant.

LOL, they sound hilariously stupid. I gotta catch it sometime...

You know, they could have went for a Conan the Barbarian kind of thing (I'm speaking, of course, or the excellent 1970s comic stories, not more recent efforts...), but obviously, they have to make it sub-cheese primitive.

It sucks. Really, really, realy, really bad. The new voice of Turk is worse than Rosie O'Donnel's voice. The animation isn't that great. The backgrounds are bad. It's all poorly done. Entirely missable.

How bad? Well, imagine a semi-deep voiced Richard Simmons and you get a small taste of the voice. It is grating.

--or reading, here (as the case may be) it's the animated equivalent of Johnny Weismuller gettting too fat to fit into his Tarzan skin and then doing those Jungle Jim movies. :rolleyes:

The Disney Tarzan (or Tar-Zaaan as they call it! Stupid!) never really cut it for me. It's too hokey with the talking monkey crap. There's really only one Tarzan and that's Johnny Weismuller.
