    Storyline

    Edit
    Before he became king of the jungle in Tarzan (1999), Tarzan was a clumsy kid trying to be part of his adoptive mother Kala's community of apes. While trying to prove himself, an accident puts his family in harm's way, and convinced that he will never fit in, Tarzan decides that everyone would be better off without him and runs away. But, as young Tarzan embarks on a dangerous quest of self-discovery, he finds himself stranded in a rocky place known as the Dark Mountain. There, an unexpected ally is willing to help the wide-eyed boy and show him the way around the green forest. Will Tarzan find his true calling in life? —Nick Riganas

    surprisingly very good
    I have been a huge fan of Disney for years, but their sequels have tended to be rather disappointing, with weak scripts and/or bad animation plaguing the productions.

    After watching this, I must say, this is one of the best sequels to come from Disney. The animation quality is what most impressed me- it was cinema quality. The action sequences, effects, and the characters themselves were all rendered meticulously, with a lot of attention to light and color given as well.

    The characters' acting (both in animation and voice) was very good, and Turk (who I found obnoxious in the first film 'Tarzan') was actually very endearing this time around. I was impressed with the children's voice acting, as they had to carry a good amount of the film, and they managed to do a good job with both the humorous scenes and the few more serious ones.

    The adult voice acting was very very good, with some of the original cast such as Glenn Close and Lance Henriksen in the periphery, and the added great talents of George Carline, Estelle Harris, Brad Garret and Ron Pearlman.

    It is not a story as grande or powerful as the big Disney classics, and doesn't hold quite as much 'awe' as 'Tarzan', but it was a nice tale for kids, with enough humor and production quality that the adults can enjoy it as well.
