Disney's Tarzan is kinder, gentler and a lot more fun than in previous movie incarnations!

Perhaps Disney thought the best way to get around the ooga-booga stereotype was to eliminate blacks altogether.

Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader (Top Critic)

The stylized physiques and movements of the characters in this exciting animated musical-romance-adventure are at once realist and fantastic.

Disney's Tarzan is not only the summer's most thrilling mainstream movie so far, it's also the best animated feature the studio has put out since The Lion King.

Travels light, moves quickly and leaves very little in its wake.

Peter Travers Rolling Stone (Top Critic)

Minnie Driver gives Jane a throaty, teasing allure that suggests nights in the jungle won't be Disney dull for the T-man.

Just as Disney animation has become increasingly impressive, so have Disney animated films become increasingly adult.

A splendid, eye-filling adventure that harkens back in many ways to the 1967 animated version of The Jungle Book.

...one of Disney's most beautiful, most spectacular visual treats, even if the story line and characters are watered-down children's fare.

A beautifully crafted, well-paced and well-voiced feature that will easily become yet another Disney classic.

The first half of Tarzan is Disney's best stuff since Beauty and the Beast ... [then it] declines into a typical showdown with a forgettable villain.

Bob Longino Atlanta Journal-Constitution

It's both a little scary and a lot funny, and kids will no doubt lap it up.

If only the film had taken a few more risks instead of hewing so closely to the patented Disney formula, it might have been a truly outstanding movie instead of merely an entertaining one.
