Tarzan's peaceful and sheltered world is turned upside down by the arrival of a human expedition and the revelation that he is one of them. As he struggles to decide which "family" he belongs with, his dilemma is further complicated by his feelings for a beautiful young woman named Jane and the discovery that a trusted member of his new human "family" is plotting to harm the apes. With an inspired cast of vocal talents and new technological breakthroughs that bring added depth and dimensionality to the jungle settings, Disney's animated version of Tarzan captures the fantasy, excitement, and imagination of this literary favorite as never before. -- ©2000 Walt Disney Pictures [More]

Reviews for Tarzan
The screenplay ... hews closely to the tried and true format of previous Disney winners, but allows room for more free-form action, and this benefits the movie.
...hardly the must-have disc of the year in terms of bonus features, but...Tarzan is a pleasure on the eyes. (Special Edition DVD)
