![]() Plus I found the romance between her and Tarzan very believable, more than I can say for many Disney efforts. She takes such joy from the little details, has plenty of funny moments and Minnie Driver does a superb job. I wasn't a fan of the stuff with the young Tarzan, but once he gets older the story keeps on becoming more interesting as we see Tarzan questioning who he is. You do feel for him and connect with his struggle of getting his adoptive father to accept him as his own. Seeing him grow throughout the film and become more ape- like whilst becoming less human is really engaging. He is someone that we can get behind and care about. He's kind, he's curious, he's smart, but he is also very much human and makes mistakes in realising that. Tarzan (Tony Goldwyn) himself is near perfect. It is rather bare when you look at it like that, but Disney knows that what is important is seeing these characters grow and change through the challenges put in their way. Tarzan's parents are killed in the jungle, he is raised by apes and he later battles the feelings that he doesn't belong with them. Importantly it understands the key aspects within the story as it provides a lot of feeling and intrigue to what is a straight-forward story. It is also a story that is perfectly tailored to Disney's style given its strong underlying themes and emotive characters. It's hard to argue with that, as it was the studios last big box office hit and widely acclaimed film for a number of years. ![]() ![]() Tarzan is considered to be the final film of the 'Disney Renaissance'. ![]()
