oh my god no connection to the first!

i was very glad to see the movie in the rent store i couldn't believemy eyes! how could i have missed this movie before? i rented it andcouldn't wait to go home, i opened it and i couldn't believe my owneyes..this movie has nothing to do with the first it was really bad. How canthey make it again? it didn't have an exciting adventure, all of whatis said was that Jane was seeking a present for Tarzan and she hastrouble finding it. every time she remembers a gift or something to do in the anniversary abad memory pops up and makes her change her mind. the animation wasawful. the voices has nothing to do with the first.this movie was madefor nothing i don't get why they made it.fans off Tarzan DO NOT rent/buy this movie it will change your wholemind about it.

Yes, it really is that bad

I realize that I am repeating opinions already expressed by reviewers here, but potential buyers and viewers cannot be warned enough against this dreadful sequel! My three year old and I really loved the first one and watch it again and again; it's one of the smartest Disney movies in a long time. This sequel, however, is completely unwatchable for an adult. The animation is not even on par with other Disney sequels, and the voices are so clearly other people trying to imitate the originals. My toddler thinks it's ok, but I have to leave the room while she watches it. Don't even rent this one!

Awful plot and animation

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

Boo Tarzan

This review is from: Tarzan & Jane (DVD) My daughter loved Tarzan, so I bought this DVD. Poor sequel, bad plot, not at all I was expecting. Don't waste your money.

Could have used more tank-cars

Who wrote this crap? There really isn't a story to this. She thinks of how to reward Tarzan for a year of marriage and then a series of 3 tales are told about misadventures with Tarzan.A lot of things could have made this better. Bill Cosby, Steven Seagal, Jim Carrey or even Lucy Liu. If Disney ever thinks about another sequel, they should be shot.

A Very Poor Sequel!!!

Ok do not get me wrong the try of doing something like this was in good heart but come on DISNEY COMPANY! YOU RUSHED ANOTHER SEQUEL FOR A QUICK BUCK! The story is very poor! I like this Jane's Voice better than Minnie Driver, her voice is not that annoying. NO MUSIC WHAT SO EVER IN THIS FILM! Only a snip of Two worlds with Mandy More for the Main Title and than a dork Finale song and than the End Title that is it! They took once again 3 stories and made it into a second movie! VERY CRAPY ANIMATION! My 3 year old niece could have drawn better! O, I am sorry, Disney is losing it's touch of magic! I bought this on DVD because I thought at least the extras would have been good but they are even worse! Mandy Moore is in there for a snip and that is it! The sneak peeks were the best from this DVD! Sorry Disney you get a very poor from me and I am very great big Disney Fan!

Tarzan & Jane DVD

This Direct To Video "sequel" is really just three episodes of "The Legend Of Tarzan" TV series, with a new wrap around story. The final result could be considered acceptable IF you understand what it is you are getting."Tarzan & Jane" looks exactly as you would expect a TV cartoon to look like, so you will not be getting any of the spectacular deep canvas animation used on the 1999 original. You won't even get animation that is better than "Cinderella II: Dreams Come True", but on par with "The Hunchback Of Notre Dame II". It easy not to be judgemental on the quality, or at least easier. This is because it is not an original production like the other DTV sequels in where the film makers claim that they try to make the sequel look like the original. The story, has flaws, but it doesn't matter for the kids. They will love it no matter what. Voice actors are matched close enough to the orginal. With the exception of Terk and sometimes Jane. The replacements of Terk (the ape) does not sound at all like Rosie O'Donnell's take on the character. While Jane does sound like Minnie Driver at times, but some times goes off track a little bit.Over all, I'd say this one is better for parents to sit through than Cinderella II or The Hunchback II. Kid's will not care that the quality is not the same as the extroadinary original, adults may. Your call....

Boring

My title says it all. I sat waiting for this movie to end as I watched the poor animation and predictable story. The whole movie focused around Jane's flashbacks of the past year she spent with Tarzan. Because they're flashbacks, you already know who's going to live and who's going to...well, live. Nothing too exciting, heartbreaking, wonderful, or anything that falls into that catergory ever happens in this movie. Overall, I would say this movie is an extremely poor follow-up to a great, action-packed, colorfully animated movie. Oh, and if you still have some desire to watch this movie, I wish I knew how to give you ours, because its only use in our house is collecting dust...which isn't that useful. It has only been watched once, so after some feather dusting, it should be in mint condition.

THE ABSOLUTE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE, PERIOD.

I'm SO glad this pathetic, painfully boring "movie" has an overall rating of only 2 stars. If I could give it 0, believe me, I would. This movie is ANYTHING but cool. It is a sad and sorry disaster that was plainly done only to cheat Disney-loving saps out of their good, hard-earned money. This worthless piece of junk belongs in the trash or under a nice cold beverage glass as a coaster. I had NO fun watching this film; the entire time I wished it only to end, and as soon as possible! "Cinderella II" was INFINITELY better than this!! At least there the animation was decent, it had HUMOR, and there were some multi-dimensional characters with clear messages. This movie is just plain stupid. The animation and voice talent are HORRIBLE through and through. It is nothing more than three particularly bad Saturday morning cartoon episodes mashed together incoherently and labeled as a "sequel." This is by far THE WORST Disney sequel to date, and I cannot stress that enough! Please don't subject yourself to the torture by watching it, it will only sicken you. It's almost impossible to believe that the Disney studios who produced spectacular old movies like "Beauty & the Beast," "The Little Mermaid," "Aladdin," "Lady & the Tramp," and countless others could be the same Disney studios who sunk so low as to churn out this dull, soulless piece of garbage. If, even after reading all this, you STILL make the mistake of buying it on DVD, be warned! Do NOT under any circumstances watch the Special Features. Mandy Moore's cornball claims to be "expressing herself as a character when she sings the song for a Disney movie," or some such fluffed-up nonsense about always wanting to be a Disney character will make you gag. Not only is the song she sings mortifyingly awful, it only plays softly in the background during the final scene: meaning she can hardly be heard. So much for dreaming of a role in a Disney film. She sure picked a winner to be in. (Note the sarcasm. If I actually meant this movie was a winner, I'd be checking myself into a mental hospital right now. I know good movies. This is not one of them.)Sound too extreme a "bad review" for a kids' movie? Nah. Not to a 16-year-old who will love animation forever and ever. Why do they have to go and spoil it like this? Not as though the original "Tarzan" was anything great, either. Tarzan himself isn't exactly an endearing ape-man with his fake-looking hair and square-ish knuckles (a predecessor to the ridiculously angular ones found in "Atlantis," which was a good movie otherwise?). And as for Jane....well, let's put it this way. It BAFFLES me as to how anyone could like her. She is flattest & most pitiful (not to mention irritating) of the Disney women. So there you have it, my opinion of "Tarzan & Jane." I'm telling you, I clearly don't recommend it. If I were you, I wouldn't buy it. But since I'm not you, I DID make the mistake of buying it. And now I'm telling you: You shouldn't buy it! Unless you really, really want to. But that would mean you like really, really bad movies.

Disney's direct to video flounders

As with so many direct to video titles, Disney's 'Tarzan & Jane' fails to live up to it's feature film predecessor. While the big screen ani-epic gave us fresh cel animation (courtesy of Glenn Keane's dynamic pencil), this video draws upon the television cash cow for it's 'inspiration' and fails to deliver the goods in terms of quality artwork or story development. The result is an awkward series of flashbacks marking the 'adventures' of the couple's first year of wedded bliss. While young children may find the character's walking, talking, and tree surfing every bit as fascinating as it's big screen origin, adults will quickly tire of the limited animation and imagination in this dull follow-up.

Worst Disney Sequel Ever

Disney sequels, generally, aren't always as good as the originalmovies. There are, however, some very good sequels such as "The LionKing II," "Lady and the Tramp II," and "Toy Story II." But "Tarzan andJane" is indeed the worst of Disney sequels, where the story was dope,the characters were boring and aren't as lovable as they were in theoriginal movie, the music was awful, and the animation was rubbish. Thestory was simply about Jane wanting to find an anniversary present forTarzan, and while doing so in the jungle, she starts remembering theadventures they've had so far. If Disney continues to produce movieslike this, it will definitely lose its touch and magic. Disney's"Tarzan," though regained its prestige in "Tarzan II," where they did agood job in it.

No wonder my Disney stock is in the tank

This is some of the poorest animation I've ever seen from Disney. Bad story, bad voices....bad movie.What's with the shadows? They're on everythnig.

One of Disneys better made sequels

In Disneys Tarzan & Jane, they have their first wedding anniversary,whilestaying in the jungle. Janes father still living, with the newly weds,explores the inhabitance of the jungle for himself. With Tarzan coming tothe rescue once again to save the day and his new found love and family. Itis a great movie that every child must have with the original classic. Iknow that I will get this one, see the disney fanatic that Iam.

Disappointed

We were so disappointed with this movie.I thought with the 1st being so good that this would be also.The only music in Tarzan and Jane was at the beginning and the end.We expected it to have alot of good music and for the characters to be just as funny as they were in the 1st. My daughter has just about all the disney films ever made and she was also bored by the 1st 1/2 hr. The movie had no great story line that kept you wanting to keep watching.I feel it was a total waste of money.This is the movie to watch if you want to fall asleep.

Clips of the TV Show in this Unplotted Kid's Movie

When the TV show "The Legend of Tarzan" was out, they took clips ofthis and made a video release about Tarzan and Jane's anniversary. Igot this one Christmas by mistake, I was actually expecting theoriginal Disney Tarzan, not this.Well I checked it out, and it was mediocre at best. Okay animation, buta bad plot and hardly any good gags at all. It was basically footagefrom the TV show, and various animation here and there. I think thiswas aimed at kids.4.7 is sort of a fair rating for this. But since this is Disney, I willgive above poor and give it a 5.6 out of 10.

Almost a complete waste of money...

Granted, the stories were cute, BUT... since my 2 boys (5ВЅ & 4) had already seen them from the cartoon show, we were very disappointed in this DVD. I can't recommend this DVD unless your kids haven't seen the Tarzan cartoon show, as all 3 of the mini-stories in this movie were taken from that. Also, the artwork is NOT Disney quality, it's very low budget artwork/animation. Also, the voices are horrible. I think the only original voice is Tantor's (the elephant). What a waste. I'll be sure to check online reviews before I ever buy another (over-priced) Disney movie. :o(

Not what i expected but it's almost worthy

This was an "ok" movie. But i don't think any one expected that it would be naretive. In other words the whole story was a story. All to distract jane from her 1st anniversary surprise. That simple, but that's how it is.

Disney dvd

This review is from: Tarzan & Jane (DVD) well packaged and sent. The dvd was just wonderful watching it over again. no problems with the disc at all.

Disney Dud

I cannot believe Disney would put it's name on this. The animation was horrible.
