It’s really too bad that Tarzan is saddled with the end of the Disney Animation renaissance. Everything that came AFTER it is just as fantastic: Atlantis and Treasure Planet as discussed, Lilo and Stitch, Extremely Goofy Movie, Emperor’s New Groove… that’s a four year span of comedic and meme-worthy excellence. That same era birthed other movies whose fandoms have withstood the test of time: Iron Giant, ElDorado, Titan A.E., Shrek, Spirited Away, Ice Age, Sinbad amongst others.
I wasn’t into it when it first came out. A big part of the Disney movie experience for me as a kid was the music, so I left disappointed.
I rewatched it years later and was just mesmerized by the art and overall feel of the movie. Got the feeling that if it came out as a Dreamworks, or some other studio’s movie instead it would have been better appreciated, but could just be me.
The best of the least-appreciated Disney movies.
I feel Treasure Planet deserves at least an equal place amongst those gems. But both are incredible and that’s just personal preference speaking.
