Tarzan is another great family film from Disney. As a collector of Disney movies I had to buy it, and I'm glad that I did.
First off, Tarzan was originally animated in the 1.66:1 aspect ratio and then cropped to 1.85:1 for cinema release. It was previously released on DVD in the 1.66:1 aspect ratio which was perfectly acceptable. The Blu-ray however slightly crops the image to 1.78:1- this is so that it fits perfectly on a 16:9 screen and you see no black bars at all. Personally I would rather have seen the slither of black bars if it meant seeing the whole picture. In fact for me the ideal would have been to have both the 1.66:1 animation ratio and the 1.85:1 theatrical ratio. All of this said, the HD image on Blu-ray is likely the best Tarzan has looked so far- I just wish it wasn't cropped. As for the sound, in a rarity for Blu-ray, it features a compressed Dolby Digital 5.1 mix. That said, this is one of Disney's most active surround mixes and makes great use of the subwoofer, and so this is likely the best Tarzan has sounded. All in all, the film itself is definitely the best it's looked (apart from the cropping) and sounded, yet in regards to everything else, this Blu-ray is a significant downgrade on the past Collector's Edition DVD.
Great film, very amusing and great for all the family.
