Clayton, Jane, and her father were introduced in the story, character development is average at best poor and worse. Clayton is nothing but a greedy villain. Jane is a girl thrown in history to play the part of Tarzan's girlfriend. We really do not know anything about her and never really do, besides the fact that she enjoys and loves to draw animals gorillas. It 'sad to sit through 30 minutes of excellent story telling and character development only to be cast in a new direction that is not as strong or solid. For example, the actions of Clayton (Tarzan shooting, drawing pictures of vicious gorillas, etc.) would be more than sufficient to create a natural caution in Tarzan. Having grown up in the jungle, Tarzan would be able to read body language and even Clayton parallel to the personality of the Sabor. Animals are a great judge of character, and Tarzan would develop this skill. Disney could take a page from his live-action Jungle Book The story of character development in this area. Instead, Tarzan, Jane and her father come out as

almost silent in this field, as everyone (including the public), but I can easily see that Clayton is a bad person for different reasons.
Disney has an excellent voice cast for the characters. Rosie O'Donnell fans will come out to see the movie if nothing else. It does a good job as the voice of Terk, Tarzan's gorilla childhood friend, came off as funny with his tough stance, but a sincere heart. Tarzan Terk tends to help get into trouble while saving his neck from the anger of Kerchak. Then there's Tantor (voice of Wayne Knight and Taylor Dempsey)
, Elephant Tarzan's friend since childhood, which is so shy he is afraid of water! That shyness fades in the course of the film, however, Tantor turning into a "super elephant." Tony Goldwyn is the voice of Tarzan, Minnie Driver voices Jane, Lance Henriksen is Clayton and Glenn Close is the tender voice of Kala, Tarzan's gorilla mother.
The final Tarzan is very weak - one of the weakest endings of any Disney animated film we've ever seen. The finish seems very rushed and character development, motivations, and reactions seem to be thrown out the door. Out of nowhere, Kerchak (the leader of the gorilla) Tarzan decides to accept, even though Tarzan is responsible for all problems brought to the family of gorillas and even ultimately responsible for the death of Kerchak (leading Clayton to him). Kerchak the "you're back" seems pulled right out of Beauty and the Beast. Then the father said Jane suddenly out of the blue to Jane "I think you should stay here" (with Tarzan, never to return to London). How many fathers would tell their daughters that should stay in a jungle with a monkey-man and a group of gorillas? And how many fathers would be so quick to part with their daughter? (What was going to do until a few seconds after that to go). He seems to be crossed between the father of Bell (Beauty and the Beast) and father Princess Jasmine (Aladdin). There is uniqueness to him.
The other aspect is the bad bad Tarzan, Clayton. He adds nothing to the story and actually leads to a lower level (compared to the classic could have become). Disney would have been much better to get rid of the character Clayton (there, done that - no originality) and sticking with Sabor the main conflict of the story.
