D3Z 1 Jan 1 Driven by a lot of compelling aspects whether this is from the characters, story and soundtrack makes Tarzan one of Disney animations finest of its time. See more Miguel C @Miguel3110 Dec 17 Tarzan é um filme diferente dos demais da Disney, trazendo cenários de florestas e animais tão carismáticos quanto os de O Rei Leão. Uma interessante para toda a família. See more Sarah S @Braxton188 Dec 5 Wait, Terk is a girl? I never knew that!

Now, it’s the music that keeps me coming back. Phil Collins’ soundtrack is phenomenal — emotional, energetic, and unforgettable. “You’ll Be in My Heart” still hits hard, and “Son of Man” is a bop. The animation holds up, and the story is simple but heartfelt. Not Disney’s deepest film, but definitely one of its most musically powerful. See more Malik D @Princevon Nov 15 Great animation. Great story. Great music. This classic will hit you in feels and make you smile. See more Read all reviews
