"Tarzan" is rescued from the clutches of a tiger and raised in a colony of gorillas. As he gets older, he bonds with the animals around him and ultimately, with a few reservations from the alpha "Kerchak", becomes an internal part of the family. Enter a group of British explorers determined to see gorillas and our hero see "Jane" for the first time: the love story begins. Their guide "Clayton" betrays them all - he wants to sell the apes for £300-a-head in Europe and a colourful, perilous battle of "civilisations" ensues. The animations are a bit simple, vey angular - but the characterisations are much stronger. It isn't just a love story with an happy ending; we are taken on their journey of self-discovery as they both introduce the other to their own, drastically, different worlds... Great vocal efforts from Brian Blessed, Minnie Driver and Nigel Hawthorne add some extra fun and lots of pace to this action adventure complemented by a few good songs from Phil Collins.
