Nah, it just had none of the charm of the earlier Disney movies that did well which was a similar issue for movies like Hunchback. It isn't a bad movie by itself, but it was forgettable and less kid friendly than movies like Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, and even Pocahontas:
>'cute' mascots are barely there and the whoppi gorilla was abrasive at best
>Phil Collins being the 'face' of the soundtrack and 'theme' song was an odd choice because what fucking kid was listening to Phil Collins when that came out? (I suspect they were trying to capture that same Elton magic like they did with Lion King, but Phil is no Elton.)
>movie felt more like an adult focused drama than a more traditional 'musical' disney movie
>Young Tarzan should have been the focus of the movie as it is a more relatable 'tether' for children than adult Tarzan, but they decided to just make Adult Tarzan the focus
Late 90s/early 00s Disney movies were a hot mess of priorities/execution and both Tarzan and Hunchback are pretty prime examples of this.

TLDR, Tarzan isn't a bad animated movie, it is just a bad Disney animated movie.
