About the Film

Tarzan is a 1999 American animated musical adventure produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation, directed by Chris Buck and Kevin Lima. The film follows the orphaned Tarzan, raised by gorillas in the African jungle after his parents were killed by the leopard Sabor, who grows into a man caught between two worlds when a scientific expedition led by Professor Porter and his daughter Jane arrives in the jungle. Tony Goldwyn voiced the adult Tarzan, Minnie Driver voiced Jane, and Glenn Close voiced Kala, Tarzan's gorilla adoptive mother.

Phil Collins wrote and performed the film's soundtrack rather than having the characters sing, a departure from the Disney Renaissance formula that proved enormously successful — Collins's "You'll Be in My Heart" won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. The animation of Tarzan's movement through the jungle canopy, using a new technique called "Deep Canvas" that rendered three-dimensional painted backgrounds, was groundbreaking and allowed the character to surf through trees and swing on vines with unprecedented fluidity. Tarzan earned $448 million worldwide.
