I loved "Tarzan"!

I was afraid that Disney would cheap out on the romance but there was enough in it for me.

I liked the Phil Collins drums, but wasn't crazy about his voice throughout the whole film (nor were the restless toddlers in the audience), rather than character voices singing.

The animation was wonderful,incorporating computers and gels.

The elephant was too much like Horton Hears A Who, but Rosie O'Donnell's voicing of the ape friend was wonderful.
