Product Description
This is a retelling of Disney's new blockbuster animated film Tarzan, the classic story of the orphaned human baby adopted by apes in the African jungle. Tarzan knows that he doesn't look like his ape family or really fit in, but he adapt s and becomes one of them. One day, a study team comprised of the hunter Clayton, the kindly Professor Porter , and his daughter Jane, arrive; Tarzan meets his first humans and realizes that he is one of them. Tarzan and Jane fall in love and Tarzan is torn between the family who raised him and the possibility of a new life. When Clayton betrays Tarzan's trust and kidnaps the apes, Tarzan saves them and his fateful choice is made. Wonderful characters and delightful humor combine with the story's universal message about love and loyalty to make this one of Disney's best productions yet.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Disney's Tarzan , clear and Precise, February 7, 2000

By	Patricia J. Pasda (usa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
