Does Anyone Remember That 25 Years Ago, Disney’s Tarzan Was a Really Big Hit?

Tarzan was the sixth-highest-grossing movie of 1999, yet has less Disney presence today than Mulan, Hercules, or Stitch.

No one particularly associates 1999, or the late ’90s in general, as a banner era for Walt Disney Feature Animation. The five-year period from 1989 to 1994 produced a quartet of Disney’s New Classics, and at the time it seemed like the company spent the remainder of the decade chasing that success, primarily – presumably because of the long lead time animation requires – by adapting a series of myths, legends and iconic fictions.

Revisited now, with access to more of the 21st century’s animation history, Tarzan’s rejection of that messiness, the way he’s able to simply select Jane from humanity and otherwise remain lord of the apes without setting foot in the world of his birth, feels thematically fitting, if not narratively satisfying.
