Tarzan (1999)

Tarzan (1999) is a vibrant, emotional animated adventure that follows a man raised by gorillas who must choose between the family that raised him and the human world he never knew. After rescuing Jane Porter and meeting her scholarly father and a ruthless hunter named Clayton, Tarzan is forced to confront his identity, loyalties, and what “home” truly means. Watching this film you’ll experience lush, kinetic jungle animation and thrilling action—swinging through the canopy, daring animal rescues, and tense confrontations—balanced with warm, funny moments provided by Tarzan’s gorilla family and friends. The score and songs (notably by Phil Collins) lift the drama and romance, giving key scenes a soaring, emotional quality. Expect tender father–child moments, comic relief from characters like Terk and Tantor, and a gripping villain who raises the stakes. Overall, Tarzan is a visually striking, family-friendly story about belonging, courage, and compassion. Viewers will leave moved by the film’s heart, entertained by its adventure and humor, and reflective about the meaning of family.
