Product Description
Disney's legendary adventure is better than ever as TARZAN bursts onto Blu-ray for the first time ever with spectacular picture and amazing sound. Filled with thrills, laughs, and Academy Award(R)-winning music (Best Music, Original Song, "You'll Be In My Heart," 1999), this family favorite will make you go wild. Disney's magnificent adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' story begins deep within the jungle when baby Tarzan is adopted by a family of gorillas. But his "Two Worlds" collide with the arrival of humans, forcing Tarzan to choose between a "civilized" life with the beautiful Jane and the life he shares with his fun-loving friends and his gorilla family. Enjoy this wild and wonderful adventure in a whole new way on Disney Blu-ray!|With 47 previous movie adaptations, TARZAN(R) is said to be the second most-filmed subject in Hollywood history (topped only by DRACULA) and one of the all-time most popular with moviegoers.|To help prepare them for the film, the directors and a group of artistic supervisors set out on an African safari in March 1996, touring the animal reserves in Kenya, visiting the mountain gorillas in Uganda, and observing Bwindi's Impenetrable Forest.|The city of Tarzana is named after "Tarzan" author Edgar Rice Burroughs' 550-acre Tarzana Ranch, which he later sold to housing developers.|Reportedly, Burroughs was never satisfied with the various screen versions of his book, but according his grandson Danton Burroughs, the Disney version would have pleased his grandfather.

Did you know the Tarzan character was animated in Paris, while the rest of the film was being animated in Burbank, California? Supervising animator Glen Keane (arguably the top animator in the field) was living in Paris with his family when directors Kevin Lima and Chris Buck approached him with the offer to supervise the animation of the adult Tarzan. (Every character has a different supervising animator.) One of his stipulations for coming on board was that he be able to stay in Paris and work with the Disney Animation Studio there. Meanwhile, back in Burbank, an entirely different team of animators was working on the rest of the film. The two studios used a computer system called "Scene Machine" to correspond with each other and coordinate characters in the same scene over the 6,000-mile distance.
Another innovation that came out of this film was a process called "Deep Canvas." Keane wanted Tarzan to be able to glide through the jungle environment in extreme sport style, much like his son surfed a wave or skateboarded. To do that, the jungle would have to look 3-D. The difficulty came in making a three-dimensional environment blend with characters that were two-dimensional. Art Director Dan St. Pierre and Computer Graphics Supervisor Eric Daniels solved that problem when Daniels' software development team came up with "Deep Canvas." That effect was one of the things that most attracted me to this film. I had never seen backgrounds like that before. They're marvelous.
Other aspects of the film that are fascinating are why the producers thought animation would be a better medium for telling Edgar Rice Burroughs' story than live action; why they chose Phil Collins, someone who wasn't voicing one of the characters, to write and perform the songs (one of which won the Oscar - "You'll Be in My Heart"); why they chose to keep Tarzan in the jungle rather than sending him off to London, as Burroughs' did; why Tarzan doesn't talk "ape talk," as he does in most other Tarzan movies; why they made him move the way he does; etc.
The way Tarzan moves - with freedom and joy, imitating the behaviors of different animals - has a lot to do with the philosophy behind the production. The producers wanted to be as true to Burroughs' vision of Tarzan as possible: a man who could do everything like the animals he imitated; but still be intelligent, introspective, desiring to know where he came from, why he was different, where he belonged. There's a strong theme of family in the film, and what constitutes a real family: should we have stronger ties to our birth family (in Tarzan's case, people he has never known), or to those who raise and love us (in his case, apes)? This is symbolized when two characters place their hands together, palm-to-palm: first the boy Tarzan to his ape mother, realizing how different they are; then the adult Tarzan to Jane, realizing how similar they are. It's a powerful symbol, and one that represents how this film is a cut above most other animated films, even Disney.
The voice actors bring another dimension to the film: Tony Goldwyn (Joshua, The Last Tattoo, American Rhapsody) gives both earthiness and spirituality to the adult Tarzan; Minnie Driver (Return to Me, Good Will Hunting, Phantom of the Opera) gives delightful humor and an independent spirit to Jane. My one complaint - and it's small, considering everything else - is that the DVD doesn't have as much background on the voice actors as it promises. But if you're a fan of the Tarzan stories, love Disney animation, or are interested in the art of animation in general, you need to get the Collector's Edition DVD. Also, you might be interested in The Tarzan Chronicles by Howard Green - an excellent printed version of the film's journey.

Some facts about this movie are quite interesting. This is the 48th Tarzan movie and the only one word Tarzan movie. This was the first Disney movie to open at #1 since Pocahontas did it in 1995. Also this was the last movie of Disney's Renaissance era. The movie won an Academy and Golden Globe Award in the category of Best Music, Original Song for the song You'll Be In My Heart by Phil Collins. It also won a Grammy Award for Best Soundtrack Album. In the end Tarzan gets an AAAAA+++++.

L'histoire pointé d'humour de TARZAN que tout le monde connaît est respecté. Un pur moment de bonheur et de plaisir. A voir ou a revoir également : Blanche neige et les 7 nains, les aventures de Pinocchio, Robin des Bois, Bambi...
Ces films d'animation sont des films anciens de WALT DISNEY, Parfait en BLUE-RAY. Je recommande vivement le BLUE-RAY et ces films. Cela n'engage que moi. ( les productions récentes, actuelles et depuis le rachat de DISNEY de NOMBREUSES FRANCHISES. Je préfère m'abstenir de tout commentaire. Il y a fort heureusement des films d'animation, DISNEY, AARDMAN , HAYAO MYASAKY.
QUE DU BONHEUR. MERCI.
