Tarzan

The chap who writes at Bad Movies has a nice little format including a "what I learned from this movie" section. Disney's Tarzan has taught me that

i) A leopard can match an adult gorilla in a wrestling match.
ii) Elephants can see through their noses.
iii) An English woman of the upper classes is almost capable of outrunning a pack of angry baboons in the jungle.

The animation looks absolutely brilliant, but that seems to have replaced writing as the budget priority...that and a soundtrack of "ethnic" percussion by Phil Collins. Brian Blessed provides the voice for one of the characters, and you'd think that would have saved the film. Sadly, the man really only plays himself, and hearing his voice coming out of a different face was akin to watching a talking dog - there is simply no way that voice really belongs in that face.
