Tarzan, DVD review: A cheap effort

(PG) Reinhard Klooss, 94mins. Starring: Kellan Lutz, Robert Capron, Jaime Ray Newman

The likes of Pixar etc have spoilt us for sensational animation in the past decade, so this leaden effort looks cheap by comparison; the sort of cartoon where the humans look weirdly puppet-like (young Tarzan resembles a wired Pinocchio).

It’s the familiar tropes – apes, Jane, swinging – only with an alien element and some portentous narration thrown in, too.
