The most valuable component of the Tarzan 1999 archive is the proprietary technology. To achieve the film’s breathtaking, painterly 3D backgrounds (specifically the famous "surfboard" tree-surfing sequence), Disney engineers developed software that allowed animators to paint textures directly onto 3D polygons.

Before 1999, 3D backgrounds in traditional 2D animation were difficult to execute. Animators were largely restricted to flat, two-dimensional painted backgrounds that moved past the camera on a single plane. For Tarzan , directors wanted the camera to swoop, dive, and fly through the jungle alongside the protagonist as he "surfed" through the trees.
