I didn't like it much when I first watched it as a kid, but after rewatching recently, it's really, really, growing on me. The animation is BEAUTIFUL (the tree-surfing is just mind-blowing in how fluid and smooth it is), the soundtrack kicks ass (Phil Collins!) and it's one of the darker Disney movies... at least, it's got one of the highest body counts of all of them (characters that actually matter, that is). Well voice acted, also.

And then Disney proceeded to overuse Phil Collins for the rest of its productions. D:
But yes, Tarzan is in that special little corner of our video collection, right next to Tonari No Totoro for family-friendly viewing. For when the little cousins come over to play... or when we feel like turning time back some years.

That statement just screams "Brother Bear". :/
On-topic: I never really cared much for the movie, and that's possibly due to the fact that the animated series they made after the movie was released wasn't even good. I do agree that it's got some good animation and the plot's well done. Tree Snowboarding = Win.

Which is ironic because Tarzan is now on Broadway

And I don't think it was too underrated. After all there's a Broadway show based on it now.

Then the Disney movie came out, and I see almost the exact same type of story and ending. Tarzan saves Jane from an evil hunter with the help of some Gorillas and blah blah, so familiar. However, tree snowboarding and animation was PURE WIN.
The same thing can be said about other Disney movies as well, though I think the Tarzan franchise was already popular and known before its Disney-counterpart came out. I think that's why it's underrated.

I only rewatched it pretty recently and I noticed it ebing a lot darker than I remember, particularly regarding Clayton's death - I was all "O.o I don't remember that."
The voice actors were all suberb, yeah, but it was the animation that was the most stunning thing of all - Disney really outdid themselves with the tree-surfing scenes and such. My favorite bits were the fight with the leopard and the running away from the rabid monkeys.
This has always bothered me - is Turk (the young gorilla) a boy or a girl?

At that precise moment he approached her, the video cut out, and all we could hear was Minnie Driver squealing...
Eventually the audience was ushered out and given free tickets to another showing.

Tarzan is one of my favorite Disney movies as well, awesome animation, awesome family scenes, awesome soundtrack.
The sad thing though is I didn't know Turk was female until I was.....18. ^^;

But the villain is boring and I feel like Phil Collins was severely overused. Why does he have to sing for majority of the movie? Whatever happened to just letting music play for a scene, let the music tell me what's going on and move me emotionally, not have some guy singing lyrics that basically broil down to "Yoooouuuu must feel thiiiiiiiiiis a this sceeeeene~"
Really ruins the moments for me.
Subtletly, people, subtlety.

And french! Man this guy was really into this project.
My favorite song is more Two world though. I'm also one of the dumbasses who did not realise Tuck was female.Cat: It is a disney movie. It is normal that there is a FEEL THE EMOTION in the movie, like in all american movie.

Indeed it's a Disney movie, but I don't remember previous Disney songs having THE SOUNDTRACK singing and telling me how to feel. In Lion King, we don't have "This is saaaaaaaaaaaad~ You gotta cryyyyyy~" during Mufasa's death. In Mulan, we don't have "This is epic! This is tense! See how she does this epic stuff!" when she cuts her hair and decides to join the army in her father's stead.
Yes, we had THE CHARACTER'S singing their song and telling us about their emotions. But that was in-universe stuff, the characters doing stuff. Not the soundtrack suddenly breaking the fourth wall.

Speaking of which, the original opening of Tarzan was much darker ._.

I know this is Disney, but what's so wrong with making a dark movie? They can make a dark movie and still be it for kids. Learn something from Don Bluth movies. Like the Feivel movie or Land before a Time (was that one of is? I think I did) those were pretty dark, had some really dark imagery for kids and yet they were still great. Mostly because, for the most part, they had a happy ending.
Look at Hunchback. That is the darkest Disney movie, and adult one, I can think of. Of course it's still very kid-friendly at parts, I mean Esmeralda not dying, her getting together with Phoebus, Phoebus actually being kind and Frollo being displayed as nothing but a bad guy, rather than a Priest who was extreme but always had a kind heart inside... It's still pretty dark and adult. (And why I love it!)
But even Disney has some really dark parts in it.
Look at Snow White and the forest she runs through.
