With its rich film catalog, Disney has a natural advantage when it comes to expanding into musical theater. But 1999's Tarzan wasn't the very best choice for a stage adaptation. Unlike, say, Beauty and the Beast, whose score was written by show-tune vets, Tarzan was associated with a musical-theater newbie, Phil Collins, who expanded his original score for the show, writing nine new numbers in addition to the five from the movie. But while he does come up with agreeable pop melodies (as, for instance, the hit "You'll Be in My Heart" and the new "Waiting for This Moment" and "For the First Time"), his greenness shows in the lyrics, which tend to spell things out way too much ("In learning you will teach/And in teaching you will learn," etc.) This CD certainly is kid-friendly, but unlike the best Disney material, it lacks that extra layer that would entice adults as well. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews

Forgettable
Don't be fooled, this does not even come close to other musical works of disney such as beauty and the beast. I can't believe people actually rated that they like this! It must be because they must never heard the original music recording of the animated movie. The songs here are cheap imitations of good songs in a good score. The score is just all around bland. True the lyrics aren't clever but that might have been overlooked if it had at least a good score behind them but no....

P.S. Tarzan sounds like a woman

Kind of Disapointing
The hype about this musical coming out was so big. i was in new york at the time and it was crazy. When i left, it came out. i heard the recording and liked only 3 songs. and i mean only 3 songs. i am such a lover of disney shows and its a shame that i only liked 3 songs. i've listened to this cd about 10 times just trying to get myself to like it better but it bothers me more than it entertains me. The 3 best songs are "Two World" - Great Opening for the show.
"You'll be in my Heart" - It was very sweet and touching and i could see it being performed before my eyes despite the fact of other peoples views that this version was horrible. Give it a chance.
"Different" - Very Fun
Besides these 3 songs. This cd is not worth 10 dollars. Try listening to the LITTLE MERMAID OR LION KING. AMAZING

King of the Jungle
Tarzan lacks the sparkle and polish of Disney's The Lion King, when it strays from the animated film. But this cd has its good points. The music that does recall the film is absolutely inspired. This is another one of those cds your munchkins can listen to as you run your errands. Mom and dad won't mind either because the songs are that feel-good. If you're tired of your hard core gangster rap, and your country crooning, buy this little gem which is guaranteed to brighten your day and make you feel oh-so positive about life. I recommend this CD for everyone who's stuck in a rut or ho-humming it along, and wants to try something different. Guess what? It works like a charm. I've got people who normally would be embarrassed to be caught dead with a Disney cd, handing me back my copy at work, thanking me. I should be charging these people. But seeing the smile this item puts on their faces is compensation enough. A must-have palliative, but musical enthusiasts might find it so-so.
