5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating Book Full Of Disney Charm!, June 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tarzan - Collector's Edition (Hardcover)

Disney's Tarzan, Special Collectors Edition is a must have for all Disney Animation fans! I loved viewing the early sketches by Disney artists as they conceptualized Tarzan and his friends. The book allows readers to follow animators through the their research of animals and landscapes native to Africa. And in addition to the fabulous pictures, sketches and artwork, there is a wonderful story of the life of Edgar Rice Burroughs. This is a wonderful book for people of all ages!

4.0 out of 5 stars Smaller successor to the Disney Classic series, August 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Disney's Tarzan (Hardcover)

Disney Mouseworks seems to be moving to smaller books and it looks like the end of the line of the Disney Classics series. The new Read-Aloud Storybooks are shorter (by about 20 pages) and smaller (by an inch here and there). That's too bad for those of us who have been collecting the old series. The paper is nicer and the artwork is very good, though, so it's not a total loss.

This review is from: Disney's Tarzan (Little Golden Storybook) (Hardcover)

This version of Disney's Tarzan is clearly written and has accurate drawings true to the film's content. Rarely do you find a smaler version of the big books so well presented.
