Which upcoming Disney sequel are you most anticipating?

I'm gonna guess bootleg.
hahaha my friend has TONS of bootleged movies. He'll even get cd cases and print out the movie's back and front covers for them.

Well, I know Jens has connections. It may not be a bootleg. Then again, I'm not going to pry.

It was actually a screener

But it's kind of an early one... 'Nuff said

Anyway, I thought of some more to say about Tarzan II (non spoilerish):

- Sabor is in the movie with a small role
- Kerchak is in the movie, but also with a very small role
- The animation seems thin lined, but I think they zoomed in in some scenes, making the lines look thicker. Could be wrong though!
- Terk's voice is close to the original voice and she is WAY less annoying than in the original movie. She really got a good part this time

- Tantor's voice I'm not sure about as I don't really remember the Young Tantor's voice in the original movie. The voice sounded cute and Tantor is really funny in Tarzan II.
- They used Deep Canvas for some scenes (most noticed in the ending scene) like in the original movie.
- They use the song "Son of Man" in the beginning in the movie (to set the mood of the whole movie I guess

)
- It's really a valuable movie that explains some things that were in the original movie like how Tarzan suddenly used vines to swing his way trough the jungle as an adult (again, emphasis in the ending scene by a remark of Tantor)
- Glenn Close really did a great job with her voice and brought a lot of emotion into her character once again. That's why I almost cried (yeah yeah, I'm a cry baby) in a heavy scene where Kala is sad.
- The voice of Tarzan doesn't sound annoying at all and sounds very natural (like all of the voices in the movie) and I don't think it sounds much different than the original voice in the original movie.
- Zugor is VERY funny

- The ending scene rules

It gave me the shivers...

That's about it for now. Again, if you have a question... You know what to do with it!

I... didn't think Turk's voice was annoying at all in the first Tarzan.
So they didn't get Rosie O'Donall for Turk's voice? That saddens me

Must. See. Tarzan. II.

Even though I'm not letting my expectations get too high.

Well Jens loved MULAN2, i hated it... nuff said

@ Wendy's Jane: Yeah you shouldn't get your expectations too high. It's a fun little entertaining movie, but not a masterpiece like Tarzan was. But I don't think any of the sequels try to be...

@KinOO: Well you know what I think about your "visions" towards Mulan II KinOO... You're way too hard on it.

i think you're way too soft on sequels

Post by **Jens** » April 28th, 2005, 11:38 am

I am certainly not. Do you really think I like all sequels? I HATE (and truly HATE) Hunchback II and Tarzan & Jane. I haven't even seen all sequels by Disney yet and I will watch them if they come along. You should be critical on sequels, but just be a little less critical than with feature movies... But it's too late for you KinOO

You're narrowmindingly prejudging everything the DisneyToon Studios create (sequel-wise, that is).

Oh, that reminds me! At the end of the credits there is a new DisneyToon Studios logo presentation with Mickey coming out of a circle and drawing the DisneyToon Studios logo. It's fun

I've never even bothered to watch Hunchback II, Tarzan and Jane, Pocahontas II, or Cinderella II. If somebody tells me Pocahontas II is alright I might rent it. Out of the ones I have seen I have noticed varying levels of quality.

Pocahontas II is good. (I have a friend that likes it better than the original.) Like all the early direct-to-video sequels, the animation isn't as good as the original, but it's better than the average sequel.

Hunchback II is bad. The story is so-so and the animation is cheap. Don't bother with this one.

Tarzan and Jane is really just three episodes of The Legend of Tarzan animated series strung together with a weak linking story. If you've seen the animated series, there's no need to bother with this.

Cinderella II is just three episodes of something linked together. I never head that they were considering a Cinderella animated series, but that's sure what it seems like.

(BTW, Atlantis II is another "movie" made up of three episodes cobbled together, this time from the defunct series Team Atlantis.)

Bootleg.

I checked with a source of mine at Disney's European Operations in the UK and they said that their screeners weren't being sent out yet. Plus, writing for the DVD Toons site where we have screeners sent early to us, and having Tarzan II on our requested list, those haven't been sent out either.

So...what exactly is a "kind of an early screener"?

BTW, Christian - Pocahontas II is awful. Bad story, bad animation, kind of inbetween Little Mermaid II and Huncjback II (Mermaid being the better of those two). It's on a par with them.

I have my sources... I don't need to say anymore

It's not a DVD, it's not a VHS, and it's not an automatic sending that Disney normally sends out to review sites (I won't even be making a review about it anytime soon). I am probably one of the selected persons they chose to screen this movie early. I don't even know more... I'm only glad I saw it already.

Btw, does anyone know Tiffany Evans? She sings the End Credits version of "Who am I" in Tarzan II. The name sounds familiar to me, but can't put a face on it.

I don't get the "wink" - that says something's dodgy afoot.

Did you get invited to see this, or has it been given to you? If you own a copy and it's not on VHS or DVD, then that's either illegal download, or broadcast videocassette. Since I work in TV here, I know that those don't get handed out willy nilly either, and Disney don't do pre-release downloads.

I am still suspicious. ";)"

It could've been like the Mulan II thing I went to at the Disney Studios.
