Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland, The

I took 6 grandchildren to this movie(ages 4 to 11). Every
one of them sat on the edge of their seat throughout the
entire movie. They loved it!! Myself, coming from the
TARZAN loving era had to agree, it was great. Well done and
this new TARZAN could move faster, swing higher and learn
quicker then Johnny W. did. We give it a high 5.

This is the BEST Disney Movie since Little Mermaid in my
opinion. I enjoyed every bit of it. The music was great!
I must admit I was a little hesitant from seeing previews, I
didn't like that Tarzan moved like an Ape, but when you see
the movie, it fits!

Come on people this Disney movie is about a flying man in a
buttflap. He looks too much like a skater/snowboarder.
MULAN ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

that was muchbetter than i thought it would be. the
funniest part was when the baby elephant said,"is this water
sanitary, it looks questionable to me." or the part where
the grandpa is swinging in the trees.

*Hey. I know that this is kinda wierd that a 17/f went to
see TARZAN, but it was cuz i brought my little cousin. I
thought it was really good though! what?! It was! :)
everyone's gotta see it. It is the cutest movie. Really.
so anyways...that's all i have to say. *
(My grandma said that when she was little she wanted to
marry tarzan and live in a tree when she grew up! i laughed
my ass off when she told me that! i asked her why, she said
cuz she loved trees. whatever (smirks))

Hi? I went to see Tarzan yesterday, 8-2-99 and I think that
this movie is the best because is cute, funny and happy. I
almost cry when Jane and Tarzan kissed and when the gorila
died. I can't wait to come out in video because iI really
want it. It was sad when his parents died too. well I don't
have much to say, just that I really like it.

phil collins.

This was an action packed adventure. So many things pop
out
at one time or another. It kept my three and four year old
cousins attention the whole time!

Me and my mom went to see it. no kids just a 35 year old
and a 16 year old. we loved it .
I think the anamation was great and the story line was
creative.
Im eager for it to come on tape so can rent it. :)
great movie for any one who is a child and a child at heart
ages 3-99
:)

does the voice of those? well i just had to say that i

I went to this movie thinking it would be just another
Disney animated movie. My wife and I really enjoyed the
action scenes and especially the music. We are buying the
soundtrack. Our grandchildren now are Tarzan mimics. Fun
movie, good themes, environmental undercurrent-very
positive!

This movie really deserves 5 stars. I was at Hawaii when
the movie came out but our plane left the same day, so by
the time it came out Down Under I'd been busting to see
it.It was truly an amazing movie (but then disney are
(amazing)!!!!!!It was a touching story an I've seen it a
total of 44 times really!!!!!!!!!!!

I am 11 years old, I think it was one of the worst disney
movies ever made. I don't like how they end the movie
because insted of taking tarzan to england they live with
him in the jungle and take there clothes off and run
around
with there underware like monkeys and digress into a
primitive state. don't waste your time and money on this
movie.

After the disasters of Mulan,Anastasia,Hercules,All Dogs Go To Heaven 2,The Hunchback Of Notre Dame,Pocahontas and A Goofy Movie,it seems that Disney has its own form.
