Tarzan II

Amazon.com

Whereas the original Tarzan tells the story of a man raised by gorillas who learns to bring together the human and animal worlds, Tarzan II is a prequel, of sorts, focusing on a chapter from Tarzan's childhood where he realizes he is not an ape and sets out to discover his true identity. The young misfit runs away from his loving mother, Kala (voiced by Glenn Close), and wanders up the Dark Mountain to come face to face with the monstrous Zugor. But all is not serious in this 72-minute boondoggle; there is Disney's usual foray into frivolity by way of a few wisecracking sidekicks--a couple of gorilla brothers named Uto and Kago, and their nettlesome Mama Gunda (voiced by Estelle Harris, a laudable choice). Despite the star-studded voice cast, there is a sense of re-tread ground here, and the story (loosely based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' distinctive tale) shows signs of formulaic Disney. Nonetheless, Phil Collins' trio of original songs livens the pace to make the effort a short-lived smile. (Ages 6 to 14) --Lynn Gibson

Why the midquels, disney??? Why???.......2007-04-19

First off, the animation was very nice. But pretty is as pretty does, right? The story is pretty weak and fairly uninteresting, like most disney DTVs today. It's about Tarzan's boyhood. Like I said, it's not too bad, but it's not very original either.
This is one of disney's first so called "midquels" that later spawned nightmares Bambi 2 and Fox and the Hound 2. I know that some don't feel that way (especially about Bambi 2 apparently), but, if you ever ask those that do like them, the answer is usually that they would have preferred a real sequel. What's with that, eh? Anyway, I'd rent this, there is too much of a chance that you might not like it.

One of the better Disney sequels.......2007-02-20

I was about to say that Tarzan 2 was the best Dinsey sequel out there but I can't really say that when Toy Story 2 exists. Plus the Alladin sequels weren't that bad either. In Tarzan 2, young Tarzan struggles to in keeping up with the Gorillas. He almost dies and his mother thinks he died. He gets ready to tell her otherwise when he overhears some say the mom is better off now without him. So he sets off on his own to figure out what he is and what species he belongs with. He meets a grumpy old gorilla who scares other creatures off by making them think he's some scary creature. Tarzan promises he won't tell everyone the creature is just an old gorilla if he helps him figure out what he is.

The result is a harmless, cute and charming film that won't make you forget the first one but will still entertain you. Plus it helps that Phil Collins is back doing the songs once again. His songs help enhance the film a lot as well. I think this one could've actually have been released in theatres it was so well done. I mean come on Disney does need to go back to releasing more traditional animated movies in theatres. But they also need to be more original with them. I mean this was good but there's way too many sequels these days. I mean a sequel to the Hunchback of Notre Dame ? What's next Sleeping Beauty 2: The Second Nap ? For one I wouldn't mind seeing them make movies based on their cartoon series. I mean who wouldn't want Gummi Bears to be brought back with a few movies by Disney ? Or how about another Ducktales movie ??

Shall I rank it 2 stars or 3??.......2006-04-14

I watched this movie when about 1 week after it was published. I thought it was good when I first watched it, but now I don't. However, this movie was not very bad, I just don't like it as I used to do.
The story and every plot was funny, and they made me laugh. But by all accounts, it was not a very excellent movie, it was only a comedy. Maybe I was affected by the remarks from many friends, then I watched this movie again, in order to find some defects of this movie. Needless to say, somewhat, I found.
Firstly, the story was not very good except it was funny. It was not like the original, it wasn't touching, none of the plots could make me feel warm or make my eyes wet. And I couldn't find the theme of this movie, sometimes I felt it was a little confused. What worse, sometimes I felt it strayed from the point. But it doesn't matter, maybe there was no point.
Secondly, I thought the tableaux of this movie were colorful, but not very smooth. The best of the tableaux was, at the end of the movie, young Tarzan swang through the jungle, everything on the backdrop was beautiful and natural. However, it's still not good enough.
Finally, I thought the music in this movie was not so good, though I couldn't say it was terrible. I doubted that whether Disney lazed, and Phil Collins did not so good as he used to do. Only "Who Am I" was good after a fashion. And the scores were not as good as the original's.
Generally speaking, this movie was much better than "Tarzan&Jane", but couldn't be compared with "Lady and the Tramp-2: Scamp's Adventure".

this game is worst.......2006-03-27

i PALYED THIS GAME PART -1 WHICH WAS GR8. THIS GAME TARZAN-2 SUCKS. IT HAS FULL OF CRAP(...)

Excellent, Fun Feel good movie.. Terrific music too.......2006-02-06

This is a Excellent Movie with terrific music. Disney got Phil Collins to do the music for this one too. Tarzan and all his friends are little in this one and they are just adorable. The kids will love it. And I don't mind having it on a million time.... As my little ones love to watch it again and again...

Though half the cast has changed from the first George of the Jungle, the silliness and self-referential jokes remain--for example, in an unusual display of professional honesty, Christopher Showerman explains to the audience that he's the new George because the producers were too cheap to re-hire Brendan Fraser. While a mean lion (voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan, The Green Mile) connives to take over running the jungle world, George's wife Ursula (Julie Benz) is imperiled when her mother and her former fiancé (Thomas Haden Church, returning from the first movie) scheme to bring her back to civilization through kidnapping and hypnosis. Though George of the Jungle 2 aims its combination of goofy humor and computer-generated animals at kids, the camera spends a lot of time ogling Showerman's buffed body. --Bret Fetzer

Description

"Watch out for the tree-slammin', elephant-callin' action -- all the fun of the original and more!" (Mark S. Allen, UPN-TV). The wild adventure and comedy that families and critics went bananas for continue with everyone's favorite characters in GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE 2. When we last saw George, he and his bride Ursula were living in wedded bliss in the peaceful jungle. Unfortunately, all this is about to change. Scheming mother-in-law Beatrice Stanhope is not about to let her daughter and grandson hang around with the klutzy King of the Jungle forever. In an elaborate plot, she teams with Ursula's obsessive ex-fiance Lyle to hypnotize Ursula into leaving George and turn his jungle to mulch! That's when all vines lead to Las Vegas. There, George, Ape, Shep, and Tookie-Tookie must rescue Ursula, and then swing back to save the jungle from Lyle's bulldozing bullies. You'll go ape when these jungle jesters come together for irresistible all-new family entertainment.

My Grandson loves this video. Watches it over and over. Great value and fast shipping.

simple and with high spirit.......2007-01-11

Chistopher Showerman is worthy of watching this film,not merely handsome he is more for gorgius,beatiful adjectives.And he is funny,not a bad choice considering he is in the place that was of Brendan Fraser, a very versatil actor ,very talent one.I said to me when film started in Brazilian tv; hey this is not Brendan and a second later this was the first joke of this film .Not very special to see in theaters is as many movies a very good choice to see at home with all family.

George of the Jungle 2.......2007-01-04

This sequel is not worth purchasing. Stick with the first one.

I only give it 5 stars for T.H. Church .......2006-09-09

The replacement George is nothing like the B. Frazier in the first movie. What's with the goofy smile?! I liked the first movie, so did my kids. You can tell in this one that the Ursula and George actors are really trying to be the Ursula and Georgia from the first movie - but they lay it on too thick...syrupy sweet thick. Ugh! I only watched it because I happen to like Thomas Haden Church, who was better looking than George! Tom Church, please do more serious films!

Horrible Features.......2005-07-12

This movie was a whole lot worse than the first one(I actually like the first one). You can tell the animals are computer animated. The actor that plays George is terrible! The only thing good about it is the plot which actually sticks to the story line of the first one.

Shame of the Jungle.......2004-10-23

Classic violent sexual cartoon. So funny and great one liners. A must have for bad movie fans. I wish that I could get this on DVD. Voices of Bill Murrey and James Belushi. Tarzoon and June living in the jungle. June is kidnapped by phalic guards(big animated penises) and Tarzoon must rescue her from the evil queen that wants her hair. Must see to believe. If you liked "Fritz the Cat" you will love this one.

The title says it all.......2003-01-25

This Tarzan spoof may have been racy back in 1975, but it looks tame today. Normally this sort of "raunchy" humor would have me lying on the floor clutching my stomach with tears of laughter streaming down my face. I didn't laugh once.
An American edit of a French cartoon with American voiceovers; the "plot" centres on Shame's efforts to rescue his girlfriend June from the movie's anatomically incorrect villain, who resembles a bald Cruella De Vil. However there is one memorable scene of marching male members (that's correct), complete with army helmets! It's safe to presume I'm not ruining anything by saying they don't fire bullets. The 10 second sequence showing the creation of these soldiers is the only part of the entire film which is mildly funny but the ending is original, to say the least and is solely what earns the movie an extra star.
There are also a couple of memorable scenes involving an enthusiastically amorous chimp. John Belushi and Bill Murray made their film debuts here (or rather their voices did). But in the long run you're better off watching some SOUTH PARK reruns instead.

Cut beyond recognition.......2001-10-20

Originally saw this film by it's release title: "Tarzoon: Shame of the Jungle" and the cuts and edits required to remove the lead characters name in addition to the cuts made to make this have a R rating render this a slim shadow of the originally funny (albeit tasteless)animated comedy. This pale version of the original is basically worthless and difficult (if not impossible) to follow.

Cut.......2000-04-10

This is a cut version of the original. Still funny and entirely cleaned up. If your looking for the original uncut version dont buy this one. If you liked it the first time but dont want the raunchy stuff its okay.

Disney's 1967 animated feature seems even more entertaining now than it did upon first release, with a hall-of-fame vocal performance by Phil Harris as Baloo, the genial bear friend of feral child Mowgli. Based on fiction by Rudyard Kipling, the film goes its own way as Disney animation will, but the strong characters and smart casting (George Sanders as the villainous tiger, Shere Khan) make it one of the studio's stronger feature-length cartoons. Songs include "The Bare Necessities" and "Trust in Me." --Tom Keogh

It s the perfect movie to teach kids about jungle animals and have a great time all in one, great songs that just make you dance all around and a lot of comedy which I like. Great message about friendship and the right thing to do.

Cute Characters, Great Songs and Sweet Story Make this a Disney Classic .......2007-02-04

Though it diverges wildly from the the original story by Rudyard Kipling Disney's THE JUNGLE BOOK is one of the mouse's best classic animated musical movies. The voice actors are excellent and the songs are clever, memorable and move the story forward. There is enough action and humor for adults to enjoy the movie and though there are villains they are not too scary for the little ones. All ends happily though bittersweetly.

Still love this movie..........2007-01-12

My Daddy took me to see this movie when I was a small child. This movie has been a lasting and happy memory of my childhood, so I was thrilled when my grandson fell in love with it also. I had a VHS version of the movie and when it was destroyed I panicked because Disney had already stopped production of it. After checking EVERYWHERE I finally located the movie with Amazon.com as my middleman. I ordered the CD version, which was not cheap, but I got it at the best price through Amazon.
My grandson is singing with the movie again and happy. This movie is timeless and well worth the price paid.

Disney scored an unexpected hit with this goofy live-action remake of Jay Ward's Saturday-morning cartoon, a zippy Tarzan parody with topical references and absurd gags. Disney's big-screen version, starring Brendan Fraser as the sweet, hopelessly inept jungle hero, puts the emphasis on slapstick and silly fun. The klutzy hero, still swinging into trees and stray boulders, saves a lost L.A. socialite (Leslie Mann) on safari and, completely smitten, leaves behind his tree-house home and simian best friend (an Oxford-accented ape voiced by John Cleese) to accompany the socialite back to the concrete jungle of LA, much to the frustration of her conniving fiancé (Thomas Haden Church). Fraser's enthusiastic performance enriches our hunky hero with endearing innocence and energetic pluck. The humor is spotty and consistently more juvenile than the original cartoon, but the unending parade of visual gags (including George's pet elephant Shep, transformed into an overexcited six-ton puppy by inventive digital effects) keeps the tone light, frothy, and winningly fun. --Sean Axmaker

Campy fun.......2007-05-25

This is one of those movies that doesn't take itself seriously, and can laugh at itself with you. There are a few moments when the fifth wall comes down, as in when the narrator directly interacts with the characters, or the characters address the viewer directly. Lots of slap stick. Good music. And a very buff and handsome Brendan Frasier. As others have noted, there are no extras on the DVD, just the movie. Still, it's a lot of fun to own and pop in the DVD player on those afternoons when you just need some lighthearted laughs and a storybook happy ending.
