The violence in this movie was very necessary for the making. I loved the part where the guy was hanged by the vines. I think that any kid who watches this can learn about death and that it really does happen. They don't have to be censored from these things because it's very educational and proper for growing minds. This was a great movie and most importantly, a classic.
Tarzan's parents are killed by a leopard right at the beginning of the film. The baby is taken from his home by a gorilla, who then has to fight off the leopard. Tarzan is treated with hostility by the head gorilla. The hunters are shooting guns at animals and people. Finally, the bad guy hunter is hanged from some jungle vines at the end of a big fight.
My four-and-a-half-year old was really upset about the baby Tarzan being taken out of his home by the gorilla, and he kept asking questions about the mom and dad were. It was pretty upsetting.
Durrrr, this movie suck cuz it's realistic! DURRRRR!!!!
Are you people for real? Okay, it is a little intense even for a Disney movie, but really, why is that always a deciding factor for final scores here? Okay, parents, maybe for once you should, I dunno, try accepting/ignoring the realism of a film and just enjoy it, don't base your score off of what your kids think/what you believe they think and just see it through your eyes. Is it well written? Yep. Does it have a great plot? Mmhm. Are the characters interesting? Well, some of the supporting characters aren't that funny, but most of them are indeed interesting. Does it have a touching ending and a good moral? Yes! That's all that should matter when you rate a movie, not whether it's "appropriate for da childrenz" or not. Although granted this is a family film, but try to remember family movies are made just as much for adults as they are for kids. It's what separates the family MOVIES from the family SHOWS. I also find it funny how, despite more positive reviews, the overall score is for each section is incredibly low. How does that work?
I liked the movie alot, and as an adoptive parent, appreciate the message that adoptive families are as good as biological ones. But my 5 year old never got past the first chase scene. She sobbed in terror at the first sight of the killer cat and we had to turn it off.
I was completely offended by the violence in this movie! Not only does it start off with a baby gorilla being eaten by a predator (the camera is on the mommy gorilla while the baby screams), but there is also a hut full of bloody footprints when she later finds the baby Tarzan. What really did it for me though, was the death of the "bad guy" who is hanged by vines after fighting with Tarzan. Although you don't see the actual death, there is a very convienent lightning flash where you see the shadow of him hanging by the neck. Disney should be ashamed.
