When the movie needs a quiet moment, it has a quiet moment. I'm thinking I'm gonna hear them all throughout this movie and they're gonna piss me off, but there's only a couple. Even the Phil Collins songs, which.yes, there are a few.are scaled down a lot. Everything that needs to be done is done perfectly and serving the story. There's no one bad guy, there's no forced musical numbers, there's no awkward comedy. There were a lot of times where it fell short and it felt a little forced.ĭoug (vo): Here, everything kind of flows very naturally. (Several images of the first movie are shown)ĭoug (vo): In the other movie, you got this bad guy who's trying to kill all the gorillas, and you got him just doing some dumb comedic stuff with Rosie O'Donnell, and, yeah, I liked it, and it's a bigger story, but it didn't always work. That's his goal, that's the beginning, middle and end. The whole film is about him trying to find his identity. ![]() We do get a little bit of it when he's an adult, but this movie tends to dive more into it. This is the kind of stuff I wanted to see in the original movie. (Scenes mostly focusing on Tarzan are shown)ĭoug (vo): The turmoil Tarzan has to go through is really well done. ![]() It doesn't feel like a forced celebrity cameo, it feels like there's a real friendship. It sounds like a real kid, and she works off of Tarzan like a real kid. She doesn't play the younger version of herself, and thank God, because the voice actress they got (Brenda Grate) is a million times better. Most of the voice actors are back, except for the kid roles, and that's including Rosie O'Donnell. And speaking of which, that's all the movie really is: it's just watching these really good connections work off of each other. ![]() I just really felt a nice connection between them. I like how they both value the simple things, and they kind of do these nice little things for each other, and.I don't know. I like the old ape and the relationship he shares with Tarzan. I like these two brothers and their mother and how they're all kind of dimwitted, but they're kind of threatening, too, and they kind of go back and forth. (The characters about to be mentioned are shown)ĭoug (vo): I like these characters. But as slapstick and little kid stuff goes, it's.really quite charming. It takes place when he's a little kid, so there's a lot of little kid stuff, there's a lot of slapstick, there's a lot of cute humor. While that's going on, Terk, the elephant and his mother all are trying to find him, while also trying to escape some beautiful but deadly landscapes.ĭoug (vo): So the important thing to emphasize about this one is that it is a smaller story. He befriends the old ape and makes a deal that if he keeps convincing everybody that he's a monster, he'll help find out what he is. Along the way, he comes across some colorful characters: a pair of brothers, played by Ron Perlman and Brad Garrett, their mother, played by Estelle Harris, and an old ape pretending to be a monster, played by George Carlin. Convinced that his family and his mother would be better off without him, he leaves the tribe to try and figure out where he belongs. But things get even tougher when he's separated from his family and they think he's dead. He's once again finding it hard to fit in and figure out where he belongs. A prequel would be set before the original.ĭoug (vo): The story, like I said, focuses on Tarzan when he was a little boy.
