Tarzan e Jane

(2002) Tarzan & Jane ANIMATION/ FAMILY

All it is is three or four separate Tarzan adventures interwoven together into as one which the set up has something to do with Jane figuring out with her Tarzan's favorite animals who is an ape named Terk, and a pink elephant named Tantor about what to get Tarzan after being married together for an one year anniversary. They reminiscent about some of those so-called adventures family friendly adaptions I'm assuming from Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs. At the end of the credits showcases four separate stories "Flying Ace", "Tarzan & Jane", "British Invasion" and "Volcano Diamond Mine". Voices include Michael T. Weiss as Tarzan and Olivia d' Abo as Jane. More entertaining than "Tarzan 2" because it dwells more on Tarzan's adventures than on history and cheap laughs, but it's still not better than say anything one can get from Hanna- Barbara or Chuck Jones Bugs Bunny even Garfield etc...

I'm really amazed that the profit motive would rule so large in the making of this film. It was so obviously and completely slapdash in concept - three unrelated flashbacks? come on! And the animation is really second rate - up close on a DVD it looks just awful. You really don't even want to subject your kids to this trash - my three year old was almost totally uninterested and I don't blame him. 2/10

Thid sequel to the movie Tarzan is a pretty unnecesary sequel and it doesn't explain anything except how Tarzan and Jane met in the first film i think Lightyear is so many times better than this trashy direct to video sequel, i am glad there are no more direct to video sequels since John Lasseter the chief creative of Disney and Pixar decided to put an end to all direct to video sequels in 2007 which means they cancelled sequels from Dumbo, The Aristocats, Chicken Little and Meet The Robinsons with no second chances after their last Disney direct to video sequel which was The Little Mermaid 3: Ariel's Beginning which that movie also sucks.

Excruciatingly bad.

'Tarzan & Jane' is a rather terrible excuse for a sequel, as it shoehorns in three separate stories which have nothing to do with the first film and add absolutely zero to it. Awful new characters, average animation, disappointing new cast and nowhere near noteworthy music. They made it poorer in every way.

I can now understand why they titled the third film as 'Tarzan II', probably trying to airbrush this from existence. I'm struggling to find a positive about this film, perhaps the two seconds of Phil Collins' original music at the very beginning? Of the three stories, I guess the final one is best? I'm scraping the barrel.

Not a fan of Disney sequels. Well, nobody is. I was hoping this one would at least be tolerable but they actually went down the same route that "Cinderella II: Dreams Come True" did. That was already considered one of the worst Disney sequels ever made and they ripped it off! This film has no flowing narrative but instead features three short stories talking about other things that happened to Tarzan and Jane. If you're going to make a sequel, at least have it advance the story in some way. I mean, I believe there was a Tarzan TV show based on the movie made at this time.

Why not just take these short stories and make them episodes of the show? The film is once again short because of a lack of a flowing story. I guess if I had to pick a worst segment, it would probably be the middle one. It features some villains trying to trick Tarzan into getting diamonds for them. I keep recognizing Jim Cummings' voice in all of his performances. I met that guy of course and it's sad someone so talented has been in bad movies. Well, I guess when you're that prolific, you can't help it. *1/2
