Yet another one of Disney's efforts, this movie transfers the classic Edgar Rice Burroughs novel to the big screen. It portrays the story of a boy named Tarzan, who is taken in by a gorilla after a leopard kills his parents. He grows up with the gorillas, yet is never fully accepted, always knowing he is different from them, and therefore strives to be as much like a gorilla as he can. He is befriended by a gorilla named Terk and an elephant named Tanto.
He matures into a young man, but is still an outcast until he saves the leader's, Kerchaks, life. Yet as soon as he gains acceptance, strangers venture onto the island, and Tarzan recognises the similarities between himself and them, and falls in love with one of them, Jane. He finds his loyalties torn between his gorilla friends and these new humans, who urge him to come back to civilisation with them.
The animation is great, as always, and there are many well-known voices such as Newman (Wayne Knight) from Seinfeld; Glenn Close, and Rosie O'Donnell. What I found most disappointing was the calibre of the music which seemed to centre on one song and lacked the richness of the soundtrack previous movies such as The Lion King and more recently Mulan showed. Although this is a good piece of entertainment, it will not leave lasting memories as do other Disney films.

It's Pokemon. It's a movie. It's the first (of at least three). Need I say more?
For the uninitiated, Pokemon (or Pocket Monsters) are cute little (or big) guys (or girls) that you can collect and then pit against other people's Pokemon in the card game or various video games. You can also watch the cartoon, and now the movies. This gives children plenty of opportunities to ask their parents for money to spend on Pokemon, and thus makes some Japanese guys and some American guys very rich. See! I know that it's all a cynical attempt to make money. I know that it has no redeeming social value. But they're just so damn cute!
The story line is simple (it has to be when one of your main characters can only say "Pikachu"). Ash Ketchum (Taylor) is a successful trainer (collector of Pokemon). He has lots of them. Mewtwo is a genetically engineered super-Pokemon. Mewtwo isn't very nice. Ash and his Pokemon friends have to stop him. As a result we get to see Ash and his Pokemon get into lots of trouble, and Ash and his Pokemon saving each other. It's all about cooperation (and merchandising).
So my suggestion is to come along and see it. Hell, it's free for members, so come along and enjoy Pokemon without making anyone rich. That way, you don't have to admit you like the little guys - just claim you're there to stick it to the man.
