Just before the Disney Renaissance era was concluding and the new millennium was right around the corner, Disney released their most celebrate jungle boy movie, Tarzan. In this review, I’ll be looking into the 1999 animated feature and discuss how it (rightfully) rejected the themes of the book it’s based on to be possibly the most heartfelt film in Disney’s family.

Tarzan is so underrated and underappreciated. I loved it as a kid and I still do. I am guessing the next movie is Planet 51.

Tarzan is such a phenomenal movie! I used to watch it a lot on the 2005 dvd, it’s a great film, and seriously, Phil Collins slap hard with the music he provided! So happy that you got to review it and guess what, you only got Beauty and the Beast left to review and that should complete the entire Disney Renaissance canon! As for the next review, oooo boy, I’m thrilled to hear your thoughts on that movie because I also used to watch that film A LOT as a kid on dvd. It’s quite an odd movie, but I found it fun and entertaining for what it is. Can’t wait for your review about Dwayne the Rock Johnson landing on an alien planet with Planet 51!

Next Classic Review: Oh no no no no animat is reviewing this piece of shit movie and a bad Sega game even though I love Sega but sometimes they do make bad movie games what am I’m talking about easy my friends and fans Planet 51😞😞yep animat is going to suffer and I bet it’s a animat seal of garbage with a 3/10 rating yep it’s one of those films that’s it stupid that it’s not just funny at all worst movie in 2009 period

Not sure if planet 51 is the next review. Mat makes it seem like it its an infamous film with surreal imagery but the film itself seemed forgettable at best

Hunter O'Laughlin

I think it’s Planet 51. What other animated alien film can it be from the summary he gave?

Hunter O'Laughlin

Even though I still prefer the original format of saving the scores till the end of the review, I didn't mind the scores being revealed at the end of each section this time. Maybe because it works better with this film than it did with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, or I’m getting used to it in case it becomes a permanent format with your reviews. As for my thoughts on the film, definitely grew up with this and I prefer this over The Jungle Book. Glad to see you had a fun and emotional time with it. I’ll admit that moment with Tarzan and Kala saying goodbye definitely gets me every time as an adult. I’ll admit I’m in the majority that found Terk annoying. Nothing against Rosie O’Donnell considering the clear enthusiasm in her voice and she did mention she always wanted to do a voice in a Disney film and this role helped fulfill her dream, which I’m glad it did for her, but I just couldn’t get into the character. Not the worse Disney character as there are far worser ones, but one of the weaker celebrity-voiced Disney sidekicks that Robin Williams’ Genie started. I honestly prefer Tantor more Terk, but then again, maybe it’s because I’m biased considering I love elephants. But definitely was the best film to end the Renaissance Era and hopefully you get to review Beauty and the Beast as it’ll be the perfect review to cap off your reviews of the Disney Renaissance films. As for the next film, I remember seeing it as a kid, but considering the recent reviews I’ve seen of it, it may not hold up as well. Also, considering it was Dwayne the Rock Johnson’s first animated role before Maui, let’s just say he definitely had an awkward start.

Then again, the opening of A Goofy Movie scared me as a kid with Max transforming into his dad. If I had nickel for every time Kevin Lima directed a Disney animated film with a traumatic opening, I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that happened twice.

I remember playing the soundtrack a lot as a kid, so I will say Phil Collins did play a big part in my childhood, along with his work in Brother Bear. So the only Disney Renaissance film left for him to review is the original Beauty and the Beast. And since that one's probably my favourite Disney movie, I hope that review happens through the Animation Hat instead of a Patreon Request. Can you believe that after all these years and all the requests, the only Disney Renaissance films he pulled out of the Hat so far are Pocahontas, Mulan and technically Hercules? I say technically for the latter because while that one was pulled out of the Hat, it was requested on Patreon first. Anyway, my first guess for the next classic review was Fantastic Planet, but after reading the comments, Planet 51 does sound more like it. Man, I was hoping that the next film he pulls out of the Hat would at least be better than Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas, but this one sounds like it could, at the very least, be debatable if it is.

Not that often that we get an "Unus Annus" reference at 3:10...

I should also make a quick shoutout to the PS1 game adaptation of that movie; starts innocently enough for the first couple levels, but when Tarzan grows up, difficulty ranks very FAST.

Joe DeSena

3:07 Knowing all this raises an interesting question: Should Hollywood stop making Tarzan movies because of it, or should they continue making them and either ignore those themes like the Disney film did, or have the complete opposite message like 2016’s The Legend Of Tarzan did?

Hunter O'Laughlin

Considering Tarzan is a public domain property, I think they’ll continue making adaptations. I don’t think the controversial themes of the original novel will be an issue considering most adaptations hardly follow the source material, so I think Tarzan will be fine.

Kenneth Stoddard

Before starting off, I’ll just say congrats to Tarzan himself, Tony Goldwyn, for being part of the Best Picture winner with One Battle After Another and Oppenheimer a few years ago as well. Other than that, I think this a strong emotional Disney film that ended on a positive note in the Renaissance Era for the company. It one of the first animated films from Disney Animation that I ever watched as kid and it was also one of my sister’s favorite films before she passed away which got me emotional when looking back of the memories we had together. From the story, directing by Kevin Lima and Chris Buck, writing, characters, fast paced action scenes, the animation, voice acting, themes, the soundtrack by Phil Collins and Mark Mancina, and the heart which the latter I consider is what make this so strong the most. The comedy is might be one complaint as I don’t think it all that strong. Besides that, it a terrific film from Disney as it manages to stand out amongst different adaptations of Tarzan by Hollywood over the years. The last Tarzan movie we gotten was the 2016 film with Alexander Skarsgard, Samuel L. Jackson, Margot Robbie and Christoph Waltz and that came out forgettably mediocre. I think the reason we don’t get another Tarzan movie now in days is due to outdated themes it presented in the books like racism and white savior especially taking place in the 20th century which I’m glad Disney did the opposite to present today’s audience a new look at Tarzan and be more sympathetic to the man in loincloth. It the closet that today’s audiences will ever connect with in terms of having Tarzan in the modern era and probably why it will never get a live action remake treatment from Disney along with Pocahontas because of the dated subject matter and well, because of copyright issues with the Edgar Rice Boroughs Inc which they have to go through hurdles to get their hands on. It great film and highly recommend for those to get into Tarzan for the first time. As for the next review, Planet 51, oh boy this is gonna be interesting because I remember watching this in theaters when it came out and well, I’ll save my thoughts for next month when it comes out. It’s gonna be interesting though.

Anthony Estrada

I don't know but animat talks about some of the imagery being infamous when it looks more generic than infamous.

SonicandShadowPlushChannel

I don’t think so 2/10 is a bit too harsh believe me it’s a 3/10 because if it wasn’t for the animation then yes I would argee with you if it animation is just mediocre and bad

Justin Grant

I say try different ways of adapting the story and characters. It's how Disney created the most popular versions of various classic stories.

Hunter O'Laughlin

I remember seeing Planet 51 a long time ago, but not in theaters and going by the reviews I’ve seen on social media, time has definitely not been kind to it. Kind of awkward that THAT was Dwayne Johnson’s first animated voice performance.

Justin Grant

Yeah, I was hoping the next Classic Review would at least be better than Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas, but it looks like that may be debatable. Now I'm getting the feeling that the next Patreon-requested Classic Review will be another great movie like Tarzan, or even better. Now, that may just be my autism speaking, and it could be wrong, but still.

Lady Helen Bio Rodriguez

I'm taking an African Cinema class and boy... it made me realize how much Disney had to cut from the original Tarzan stories and films. Lot of colonialism and racism. Good on Disney.

Jeff B. Hughes

Now the bigger question after this review: is Beauty and the Beast(1991 classic) going to be sponsored or picked out of the Animation hat? Since that will be the last of the Disney Animation Renaissance films you've reviewed

Hunter O'Laughlin

Then again, considering dark most of the source materials for their animated feature are, or don’t have much of a linear plot, I can understand why Disney don’t follow them faithfully with the exception of their fairy tale films like Snow White and Cinderella.
