Predating his adventures as an adult vine-swinger, this animated feature has awkward teenager Tarzan (Harrison Chad) searching for an identity when he realizes that he's out of place among the apes that have raised him. He ventures out into the jungle and imitates a series of other animals to see if they might be better role models. This approach does not succeed. It's only when he meets a reclusive ape (George Carlin) that his journey toward self-discovery nears its destination.

5/10
The general level of technical accomplishment is so high that it really stands out badly whenever something briefly drops to the normal level of DisneyToon animation. Go to Full Review

...it seems fairly obvious that adults will find Tarzan II tedious and tiresome. Go to Full Review

Another needless Disney sequel, but it also happens to be animated pretty decently. Go to Full Review

I'll take Tarzan II for the enjoyable kid's movie it is and pray Disney doesn't go for a Tarzan trilogy. Go to Full Review

5/10
It maintains the high audio and video qualities of its predecessor, but it's otherwise aimed strictly at the kiddie set. Go to Full Review

If it's fair to knock Disney for churning out what's clearly some inferior product, I think it's only right to take note when said product starts to show signs of improvement. Go to Full Review

See more Russell Nicholas W Apr 2 I love Tarzan II! I love it One Of The Best Movies I know everybody hates it I can respect your opinion Tarzan II is better than Tarzan (1999) & Tarzan And Jane (2002) 5/5 See more Indigo O Jan 1 One of the better prequel sequels in my opinion! I like the characterization it gave Tarzan, and Zugor was a neat character. See more Stephen C Dec 29 LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Dale R 07/07/2024 A look at a younger Tarzan as he figures out who he is as an outcast in a gorilla troop. Presumably this film takes place during the “Son of Man” montage during the first movie as Tarzan is figuring out what he can do as a young human. There are a few rehashed songs from the first film and a few new ones as well. All written by Phil Collins and sung by Phil Collins (please see my Tarzan review for my view on that). The new songs are about the narrative, but again do not allow the audience to connect to the characters. There are several new characters in this film that they had to write out of the story so this film could still work with the first. Voice acting stand outs are again Glenn Close as Kala and newcomers George Carlin as Zugor and Estelle Harris as Mama Gunda. Rosie O’Donnell is replaced by Brenda Grate as the voice for Terk and it just doesn’t seem right. The animation was good and utilized the classic Disney layering techniques as well as computer animation for the backgrounds. If you are a Tarzan fan then check out this movie. See more Daniel S 04/14/2024 A significant improvement over 2002's 'Tarzan & Jane' - this is a proper sequel. Impressive what can be achieved with effort, right Disney? 'Tarzan II' may not reach the heights of the original 1999 film, but this third installment (despite the misleading title) in the series is actually quite good. There is a consistent storyline, albeit a prequel, and the return of Glenn Close (Kala) and Lance Henriksen (Kerchak) onscreen, with Phil Collins providing the music. The plot is simple yet enjoyable, with heart, meaning, and decent humor. It could be better, but I still appreciate its contribution. A worthy return to the 'Tarzan' universe, unlike its predecessor.
