Animation. Adventure Tarzan updates the classic Edgar Rice Burroughs jungle hero. For example, Tarzan’s parents, billionaire adventurers, are now killed in airplane crash rather than being marooned with their child. And the movie’s villain is the CEO of Greystoke Energies, a man who took over the company from Tarzan’s deceased parents. Jane is the daughter of an African guide and is committed to the conservation and preservation of the African jungle.

	Media	Author	Review
		Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"The animation is efficient but bland. The characters have all the expressiveness of plastic dolls. (...) Rating: ★ (out of five)"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Here's a muddled and dull new family film about Tarzan, who in keeping with tradition is as clean-shaven and all-over hairless as any male stripper."
		Tim Robey Telegraph	"Whether or not the world needs another Tarzan of any kind, it's fairly clear that it didn't need this one. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"
		Peter Debruge Variety	"Targeted at a generation raised on CGI and the idea that men don’t grow body hair, this English-language reboot gambles on big B-movie setpieces, hoping the spectacle will disguise shortcuts taken in the design department."
		Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"All of this feels awfully simplistic, like a 10-minute cartoon sketch bloated into a full-length movie, and one that's backed by an over-explanatory voiceover that can sometimes sound awkward."
