Jesper Brun Tarzan II I would say is maybe the best looking of the direct-to- video sequels. I was pretty overwhelmed by the beautiful landscapes and how grand they were made. To shortly sum up my impression of the idea of making a so-called midquel: I think it was a great idea, because we did not see how Tarzan coped with his identity issues in the original. The scenes in Tarzan II which has that theme in its undivided focus work out brilliantly without any need for words. George Carlin's role as Zugor did make a good impression on me, because I was a little sceptical to begin with. He and Tarzan share some heartfelt moments together.My only direct criticism towards Tarzan II is that these three apes, Mama Gunda, Kago and Uto are given too much screen time for my taste. They could have made the same impact on Tarzan's life with fewer lines. Tarzan II is worth watching, and kids can enjoy the adventure and the comedy while adults may find it pleasant to see the heartfelt moments.

TxMike I really, really like the first Disney's animated Tarzan movie. The story was good and the dialog was inventive and funny. Maybe I'm just tired of animated movies, but watching this Tarzan II was a let down.The story is very simple. Boy Tarzan is frustrated because he can't run fast enough and isn't strong enough, and gets separated from his family when a tree across a deep ravine crashed down while his family is crossing in a storm. He evades one trouble and ends up in the presence of the old ape (George Carlin) who tells Tarzan that he isn't an ape. So Tarzan sets out to figure out what he really is.So, with the help of his friends he finally is reunited with, and his mother, he figures out what he is -- a "Tarzan", someone who can figure out things that the apes can't. So, in a sense, this is the very beginning of what he was to become, Tarzan of the jungle.

Hollywood_Yoda This was much better than I had originally anticipated. That's just the cold hard truth. This is the story of Tarzan as a young boy, with all of his young friends, having fun. This is a great movie for children, mostly those between the ages of about 5 and 12, who will enjoy it the most. And parents will like the story line too, it is a good thing to talk to your children about. What to do in the situation, and what NOT to do. It seems as though Disney is trying to put these movies out as fast as they can now, but I don't think this one was for the money. They did take time on this video to make sure it was WORTH buying, and believe me, it is. And if you want this title, you can find good, inexpensive ones at either HTTP://www.amazon.com ,or HTTP://www.ebay.com. Thats my story, and I'm sticking to it!! This was a good movie, and I gave it an 8 of 10.

H. Martin (~AleXa~) This straight-to-video Disney sequel, taking place when Tarzan is still a boy, is so perfectly executed, it feels as though it could've been additional material cut from the first movie. Tarzan, finding that he can't keep up with the other gorilla youngsters, begins to question who and what he is, and the film is more or less about his self-discovery and how he begins the transformation from just being a human boy to becoming the 'Tarzan' we all know and love. All of your favorite characters are back (except Jane and the professor of course), as well as the voice talents of Glenn Close as Kala and Lance Henrikson as Kerchak. The casting director did a wonderful job in finding a young voice talent to perfectly match the young Tarzan from the original. Furthermore, it appears that most of the original animators are back as well, for the animation is something to behold, and a few new songs as well as a reprise from the first film by Phil Collins make it that much more convincing. This film has the passion and heart that is usually lacking in the great majority of Disney sequels—you can really feel the care and respect for the material by all involved in the production. It's both touching and humorous, and not just for children—adults will find this amusing as well. Now if Disney will just follow suit and continue to make sequels such as this one, maybe they can actually put more than one every ten years in the theater.VERDICT: Disney succeeds in finally making a worthwhile sequel, much of the caliber of the original. Recommended to all—if you liked the original Tarzan, you'll like this one. And to all you collectors out there, this one is definitely worth the $20—I know I'll be adding it to *my* collection sometime in the near future.7.5 out of 10.0~AleXa~
