Dylan Visvikis’s review:
This film is actually excellent. I hadn't seen it since childhood, and now I remember why I liked it. It wasn't the jokes--they were childish and fairly inane and I recognized that back then as well. It was the plot, the characters, and the music. The drama of this story is alternately light and dark but always has a strong sense of character and narrative drive--Tarzan is actually a BRILLIANT drama, with some catchy songs. Also President Grant from Scandal is Tarzan. He would be Tarzan.
Tarzans LEGIT!!!
I recently found some pretty interesting analysis of the production.

^ That article is legit. One of the things I really like about animated films is how they can reflect or amplify the feeling of a moment through color, which live-action films can also do, but to a lesser degree (and it sometimes feels forceably stylized).
