The couple's first anniversary of wedded jungle bliss is approaching and Jane ponders what gift would be appropriate--necessitating three flashbacks from the Disney television series explaining why various celebrations are out of the question. First Jane remembers when her old British school chums came to rescue her from the bush and whisk her back to civilization. Then Terk and Tantor help her recall the time diamond miners hired Tarzan only to double-cross him. The final remembrance features Jane's old neighbor Robert who flies to Africa to recover a music box he gave her--and to betray England. Michael T. Weiss and Olivia D'Abo do the honors as the voices of Tarzan and Jane, and Mandy Moore and Phil Collins provide the vocals for two new songs. Like many of Disney's straight-to-video "sequels," the animation and story aren't up to on par with the original,; but the kids won't care. Ages 3 and up. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Product Description
As Tarzan and Jane's one-year marriage anniversary approaches, Jane searches the jungle for the perfect gift for Tarzan, enlisting the help of the hilarious Terk and Tantor. As they recall the many adventures they've shared so far, Jane realizes what an exciting year it's been in the jungle; from encounters with both old friend and new adversaries, to outsmarting prowling panthers to surfing the lava down an erupting volcano. But that's nothing compared to what Tarzan has in store for Jane--a surprise that will show her just how much he understands her world. All of the favorite characters from Disney's TARZAN are back, including Terk, Tantor and the Professor, in an action-packed tale full of surprises. TARZAN & JANE features irresistible new music, including a new duet of "Two Worlds" performed by Phil Collins and Mandy Moore. The wonderful new musical number "Singing To The Song Of Life" is also sung by Moore.

1.0 out of 5 stars What Were They THinking?, December 22, 2002

By	Lorenzo M. in the Hollywood CA Area "Movie Wa... (North Hollywood, CA USA) - See all my reviews

TARZAN AND JANE - is a movie that sorely needed viable story. It was obviously intended for very young kids. There is nothing for the adults in this movie. Even the voice characterizations are week and seemed to be forced in comparison to the original. None of the original actors came back to do their voice - and I know why now that I have seen it. It has three very week stories written in the Narrative format. Meaning, these are past adventures told by the animal characters like - "Remember when Tarzan did this?" and "Remember when Jane did this?" Extremely week and cheap plot devices.

Don't get me wrong, Return To Neverland (the sequel to Peter Pan), Alladins' two sequels and even Pocahantas' sequel were. All were direct-to-video, but still entertaining for the young and old alike.

Stay away from this one. Even the DVD extras are not that interesting. What were they thinking? Didn't anyone read the script? And Michael Eisner approved this? Yikes! (12-9-02)

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time or money., August 10, 2002

Cheap animation, poor voice acting, lazy script-writing add up to a complete dud. Walt Disney must be spinning in his grave.

3.0 out of 5 stars Its nothing like the Disney Tarzan movie, August 31, 2003

By	Guipi Boy "gupiboy" (Wausau, WI USA) - See all my reviews

It's just for kids. If you are looking for a continuation of the Tarzan movie you may not like this. We bought the original Disney Tarzan animated movie for our kids. The original is great. What this is is three cartoon episodes from the Disney Tarzan television program. The action animation is not nearly as good as in the movie (e.g., the physics of the swinging through the jungle is poor). The plots are terrible/slow/painful. For example, Jane's ditzy girl friends come from London and get chased all day by panthers that never get around to eating them, despite endless chances. It also contains much more gratutious violence. Having said all that, much to my chagrin, my four year-old seems to like it as well as well as she did the full length animation; thus the third star.
