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.

Another dumb sequel
Very pointless
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
Not bad, but could have been a lot better.
I personally don't think it is the worst Disney sequel, but it does pale in comparison to the original movie. I don't Tarzan is the best Disney movie, but I still loved it. Now Tarzan and Jane's first problem is that it is merely three episodes of the TV show. The animation isn't that brilliant to be perfectly honest with you, but I can understand why it looked Saturday morning cartoon standard, because that's what the TV show is. A good example is the animation of Jane, it was very ugly at times. The songs aren't the best I've ever heard, but I've heard a lot worse. Cinderella 2's songs were awful. And I actually liked Mandy Moore's singing. I agree with the other comments it could have had a lot more humour, there were valiant attempts throughout the movie, especially Terk's "Mr. Fancypants" line, but there could have been a lot more. The characters aren't as likable than they were in the first film, and all the voice actors are different. The new voice actors, like Olivia D'Arbo, April Winchell and Jim Cummings do their best, but their characters don't have enough personality, and Tarzan's voice actor, while spirited and well done, just lacked the extra ingredient, charisma. The plot merely consists of three stories, and while they are well-voiced and well-intended, they are let down by a lack of imagination. The diamonds in the volcano reminded me a little bit of Congo. Though I liked some of the new characters, I mean Jane's friends were a nice touch. Another pro of the movie was that at an hour and a quarter, it's a good length and goes along at a reasonable pace. In conclusion, I don't think it was awful, but it could have been better. 6/10 Bethany Cox.
