Trivia
The signature "Tarzan yell" is provided by Brian Blessed, the voice of this movie's villain Clayton. because after noticing that Tony Goldwyn could not make a convincing scream, Blessed went to one of the producers to tell him that he could do it, the producer refused at first but after he yelled in front of him, he accepted without hesitation.

Goofs
The noises the gorillas make are sounds of chimpanzees. Gorillas' vocalizations are mainly roars, growls, and grunts.

Quotes
Tarzan: No matter where I go, you will always be my mother.
Kala: And you will always be in my heart.

Crazy credits
During the Walt Disney Pictures opening logo, the background turns into that of a jungle.

One of the most entertaining movies, ever!

Imagine six 50-something and 60-something men and women watching this version of "Tarzan" (Disney, animated)on DVD and at the end, some of them saying "that is the best movie I have ever seen." Well, I can't personally say it was *the best* I've ever seen, but for sheer entertainment there haven't been many better.

The story is very familiar to most of us, and this version sticks to the tried and true (!) very well. The novelty are in the eye-popping Disney animation, the humorous script, and the "delivery" of the lines by the various celebrity voices. I bought the DVD because I want to watch it periodically, and also with my grandchildren as they grow up.

The "extras" on the DVD are really fine. Recording of the "Trashing the Camp" music is featured, plus a few other equally interesting features. The best being a film "short" of the animated Disney feature "Dinosaur" slated for release in May 2000. I'm going to buy that one too!

I gave this movie a solid "9" of "10" for sheer enjoyment.
