Tarzan
(Disney)
Like Edgar Rice Burroughs's original, Disney's
Tarzan (Tony Goldwyn) moves like a gorilla but thinks like a man. Glenn Close
voices his gorilla mother with grace and tenderness; Minnie Driver gives us a
sly, Julie Andrews sort of Jane; Rosie O'Donnell provides wisecracking
contemporaneity as young Tarzan's best gorilla pal; and Brian Blessed is the
evil jungle guide. But the heart of this Tarzan is the one shared by
Tarzan and Jane, who communicate without words, with the timid, innocent
acceptance of an Adam and Eve.
