South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut and Tarzan went head to head at the box office and the Oscars 25 years ago

The 1990s saw a new era of American animation on screens big and small. Anime emerged from the shadows of cult status to become a mainstream fascination with English-speaking audiences. Nickelodeon made kids’ cartoons cool. The Simpsons reinvented the sitcom. Throughout the decade, the Walt Disney Company reasserted its status as the indomitable king of the medium after many years in the critical and commercial wilderness following Uncle Walt’s death.

There’s a lushness to the film that makes it unique among its Renaissance contemporaries. It’s easy to watch Tarzan and feel as though this was the next step for Disney’s continued domination of American animation. This wasn’t the Disney that Parker and Stone were so viciously parodying The old-fashioned qualities of Tarzan presented a sharp opposition to Bigger, Longer & Uncut, a film that is more 1999 than The Matrix, Prince’s song, and Y2K-phobia combined.
