"I was saved! I was saved by a flying wild man in a loincloth." – Jane Porter

Why watch this? This classic story benefits from this Disney's musical and light-hearted overhaul.

Plot Summary: A young man, orphaned in the African jungle and raised by gorillas, struggles to find his place within his adopted family. Things are turned upside down when he encounters humans for the first time, including the curious and compassionate Jane Porter, sparking a journey of self-discovery and the difficult choice between two very different worlds.

Dad's Preview: When Disney announced Tarzan, I sighed, "Here we go again, another shameless interpretation of a classic story." I could not have been more wrong. This animated treasure is full of greatness: colorful African scenery, snappy musical numbers, and that old emotional family gut-punch Disney has patented. It follows a fairly standard formula (man meets woman, bad guy tries to get rid of good guy, singing animals save the day), but also manages to be a pleasant film to sit through. Adults and children both will love this new version about Tarzan and Jane in the jungle.
