Consensus: Disney's Tarzan takes the well-known story to a new level with spirited animation, a brisk pace, and some thrilling action set-pieces..

Runtime: 88 mins

Genre: Childrens

Synopsis: Tarzan is an adventure that traces the story of a human baby who is orphaned in the African jungle and lovingly raised by a family of apes. Tarzan's peaceful and sheltered world is turned upside... Tarzan is an adventure that traces the story of a human baby who is orphaned in the African jungle and lovingly raised by a family of apes. 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]

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.
