Disney's 'Tarzan' has long been a favorite animated feature of mine. I was in my 2D animation class that year it was released and thus had high expectations of the movie. The story was a little too simple for my taste (I was expecting it to have longer build-ups and bigger climatic ending). However, the animation, art direction and cinematography was jaw-dropping. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, with camera angles flying around as if it was a motion feature film and Tarzan gliding down the vines of the trees like a roller-blader.
As I browsed through YouTube, I found clips on the 'Tarzan Meets Jane' scene. They had the
storyreel, the
clean up and the
final clip of the scene to show the progress.There's also a clip of Glen Keane, the supervising animator of Tarzan, where he talked about the
animation tests that they carried out to prepare for the film. It's just beautiful to see how they brought the animation to life
