Tarzán y Jane

(2002) Tarzan & Jane ANIMATION/ FAMILY

All it is is three or four separate Tarzan adventures interwoven together into as one which the set up has something to do with Jane figuring out with her Tarzan's favorite animals who is an ape named Terk, and a pink elephant named Tantor about what to get Tarzan after being married together for an one year anniversary. They reminiscent about some of those so-called adventures family friendly adaptions I'm assuming from Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs. At the end of the credits showcases four separate stories "Flying Ace", "Tarzan & Jane", "British Invasion" and "Volcano Diamond Mine". Voices include Michael T. Weiss as Tarzan and Olivia d' Abo as Jane. More entertaining than "Tarzan 2" because it dwells more on Tarzan's adventures than on history and cheap laughs, but it's still not better than say anything one can get from Hanna- Barbara or Chuck Jones Bugs Bunny even Garfield etc...

I'm really amazed that the profit motive would rule so large in the making of this film. It was so obviously and completely slapdash in concept - three unrelated flashbacks? come on! And the animation is really second rate - up close on a DVD it looks just awful. You really don't even want to subject your kids to this trash - my three year old was almost totally uninterested and I don't blame him. 2/10

Excruciatingly bad.

'Tarzan & Jane' is a rather terrible excuse for a sequel, as it shoehorns in three separate stories which have nothing to do with the first film and add absolutely zero to it. Awful new characters, average animation, disappointing new cast and nowhere near noteworthy music. They made it poorer in every way.

I can now understand why they titled the third film as 'Tarzan II', probably trying to airbrush this from existence. I'm struggling to find a positive about this film, perhaps the two seconds of Phil Collins' original music at the very beginning? Of the three stories, I guess the final one is best? I'm scraping the barrel.

Thid sequel to the movie Tarzan is a pretty unnecesary sequel and it doesn't explain anything except how Tarzan and Jane met in the first film i think Lightyear is so many times better than this trashy direct to video sequel, i am glad there are no more direct to video sequels since John Lasseter the chief creative of Disney and Pixar decided to put an end to all direct to video sequels in 2007 which means they cancelled sequels from Dumbo, The Aristocats, Chicken Little and Meet The Robinsons with no second chances after their last Disney direct to video sequel which was The Little Mermaid 3: Ariel's Beginning which that movie also sucks.

Wow where do we even start with this one, I don't even know how to rate this movie because this "movie" barely classifies as a movie!

Apparently this movie is three episodes from already existing TV series 'The Legend of Tarzan' stitched together with new animation to make the narrative seem more.. seamless, and I gotta say this right off the bat, This movie has some of the worst looking animation Disney has ever produced.. EVER, I'm not even kidding, I'm talking about the new animation that was made specifically for this straight-to-DVD Tarzan sequel and yeah, It looks hideous, Like some cheap Brazilian knock off movie trying to imitate Disney's Tarzan so some poor Grandma buys it instead of Disney's original for her grandchildren (No disrespect to Brazil, I'm just saying that the animation literally looks like something outta Vídeo Brinquedo) Thankfully the three episodes/segments has pretty decent animation, Not something mind blowing, Just good enough for a Saturday morning cartoon.

The storyline is just ok, It follows Jane, Trying to think of something special to do with her 1 year anniversary with Tarzan, So Trek and Tantor try to help her with some ideas, The three stories are fine too, My favorite being the second one with Jane and her friends visiting her from London, It has a lot of funny bits and cute interactions but other than that it was pretty forgettable, Especially the other two stories.

The new song by Phil Collins and Mandy Moore were pretty cute, but nothing really special to write home about..

None of the voice cast of the original movie reprised their roles in this movie nor the TV series and It is pretty noticeable, I'm not talking about the side characters (Jim Cummings, April Winchell and Jeff Bennett did a phenomenal job with how little screen time their characters were given) I'm talking about our main characters, Jane and her super exaggerated British accent and Tarzan with his boring monotone voice, I'm not saying they did a bad job, It just lacks the heart and charisma the original cast had..

So yeah, This was pretty lame, If you're interested in more Tarzan adventures, Just go watch the TV series and don't watch whatever this is.. This is not the worst straight-to-DVD Disney sequel (I mean The Hunchback of Notre Dame 2 still exists) but still I can't give this movie more than three stars, Just a very lazy lame movie.
