Predating his adventures as an adult vine-swinger, this animated feature has awkward teenager Tarzan (Harrison Chad) searching for an identity when he realizes that he's out of place among the apes that have raised him. He ventures out into the jungle and imitates a series of other animals to see if they might be better role models. This approach does not succeed. It's only when he meets a reclusive ape (George Carlin) that his journey toward self-discovery nears its destination.

The general level of technical accomplishment is so high that it really stands out badly whenever something briefly drops to the normal level of DisneyToon animation.

...it seems fairly obvious that adults will find Tarzan II tedious and tiresome.

Another needless Disney sequel, but it also happens to be animated pretty decently.

I'll take Tarzan II for the enjoyable kid's movie it is and pray Disney doesn't go for a Tarzan trilogy.

It maintains the high audio and video qualities of its predecessor, but it's otherwise aimed strictly at the kiddie set.

If it's fair to knock Disney for churning out what's clearly some inferior product, I think it's only right to take note when said product starts to show signs of improvement.

One of the better prequel sequels in my opinion! I like the characterization it gave Tarzan, and Zugor was a neat character.

Tarzan II is a surprisingly charming direct-to-DVD sequel that delivers more heart and creativity than many similar Disney follow-ups. While you can tell it was made for home release, the film feels fully invested in telling a meaningful story. The animation is clean, colorful, and visually appealing, helping bring young Tarzan’s emotional journey to life. The story focuses on his struggle with identity, belonging, and self-confidence, showing him trying to understand who he is while strengthening bonds with both new and old friends. The screenplay handles these themes with sincerity and warmth. The villains are handled in a refreshing way, allowing for growth and resolution rather than simple defeat. This choice adds depth and reinforces the film’s message about acceptance and understanding. Overall, Tarzan II is cute, engaging, and emotionally grounded. It may not match the original’s scale, but it stands as a solid, enjoyable sequel that is well worth watching.
