9.2/10 stinky bananas

Classic movie. You simply can't beat 90s Disney cartoons. Lion King, Aladdin, A Goofy Movie. What a run it was. What do kids even watch today? Paw Patrol? What the fuck is that garbage.

Tarzan's got everything you want in a Disney cartoon:

Fun and compact story
Great over-the-top characters
Colorful animation
Quick runtime. 1 hour and 28 minutes. Perfect.
MONTAGES! There is nothing better than a montage done right and Disney has mastered that craft.
Outstanding original music.

I firmly believe that Tarzan has the most underrated soundtrack of all the 90s Disney cartoons. Phil Collins crafting the music for this movie is eerily similar to when Walter White cooked the greatest, most pure crystal meth the streets of Albuquerque, New Mexico ever saw. You'll Be in My Heart, Strangers Like Me, Two World, Son of Man. Need I say more? Phil Collins is a beast.

The third act is excellent. The bad guy hanging himself is very metal. The shot of Tarzan with the silhouette of him hanging is fucking nuts for a kids movie. I love it.

If you haven't watch Tarzan in 20+ years, guess what buddy, it's time for a rewatch. See ya
