TARZAN
This magnificent Disney collector’s edition, of Burrough’s acclaimed story features five fabulous songs by Phil Collins, including the Academy Award® and Golden Globe® winning “You’ll Be in my Heart” (Best Song - Academy Award®, Best Original Song - Golden Globe® Winner). A real vine-swinging, tree-surfing romp through the jungle, the adventures begin when a baby orphan is found by the gorilla, Kala, who brings him up as her own son. The young Tarzan spends happy days deep in the jungle with his friends, the quick-witted gorilla, Terk and the endearing elephant, Tantor. However when the scientist, Porter arrives in the jungle with his beautiful daughter, Jane and malicious sidekick, Clayton, Tarzan discovers that there is as much to learn about humans as there is his animal friends. An all star vocal cast including Glenn Close, Brian Blessed, Nigel Hawthorne, Rosie O’Donnell and Minnie Driver as the delightful Jane Porter makes Tarzan a must own Disney classic.
The DVD extras, spread across both discs, take a behind the scenes peek at how the incredible music was created for the film and also how Burrough’s story was transformed by Disney using breath-taking animation techniques. The fun and games of the jungle continue with Terk’s Tree Surfing Challenge and the Jungle Memory Game. With deleted scenes, featurettes and a DisneyPedia on the jungle bringing the film to life in your living room, Tarzan on two-disc Special Edition Disney DVD will make a wild addition to any families collection when it is released on 9th May 2005.
Story Synopsis
When the gorilla, Kala, finds a baby boy, orphaned following a shipwreck, she decides to raise him as her own. Tarzan tries hard to fit into jungle life and spends his days swinging happily through the trees with his playmates, the wisecracking ape, Terk and the loveable elephant, Tantor. Over time Tarzan comes to realise that he is not the same as his adopted family and when humans arrive in the jungle, Tarzan is brought down to earth with a bump.
