Tarzan II

Tarzan II is currently streaming in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Disney Plus, and it uses the format for more than just a visual hook. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. 1,246 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Watch it in order — the character development is cumulative. Put it on tonight on Disney Plus and see for yourself.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Tarzan II earns its spot. Tarzan II treats animation as a medium, not a limitation. When one of his missteps puts his family in jeopardy, Tarzan decides they would be better off without him. Harrison Chad and George Carlin lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2005. Tarzan II uses the freedom of animation to tell stories live-action could not attempt. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Genuinely enjoyable for a wide range of viewers, Tarzan II treats animation as a delivery mechanism, not a limitation. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Harrison Chad brings more to the role than the format usually demands. A harder one to justify skipping than to start.
