    Tarzan was such an interesting character! What made his journey that much more interesting was the dynamic he had with his adoptive father and his very nurturing mother. Also, the music slapped! Enjoy :)

    the way i see Kerchak's character, the biggest thing holding him back from conecting with Tarzan was the grief for the son he lost in the beginning. He says to Kala "he won't replace the one we lost" and i do feel like that thought continues to weight down on Kerchak's mind for the rest of the movie, and with it the resentment towards Tarzan for not being what his first son was. It's as if Kala healed from the loss by opening herself up for love again, taking care of Tarzan, while Kerchak never quite recovered because he remained closed: he has to lead so he leads, he has to be strong so he's strong. He never stops to let go of the grief, only redirects his frustration at Tarzan. I think this movie paints a pretty good picture of grief and love in that way

    • @paulchavez3039

      So true. That's what I get from it as well. This movie also speaks to at least four different types of masculinity: one being pretty friggin toxic obviously, one saddled with so much burden to provide and maintain strength and security even if it means sacrificing the emotional growth and well-being of your community, another that is so trusting-loyal-honest-pure silly and accepting, and the positive mirror of all the things in between those archetypes that can go wrong in the face of adversity. I'll let you decide who is who ❤

    Something that I find most people miss when they watch this for the first time: Terk is a girl! Her full name is "Terkina", you hear her mom call her that when she asks what's wrong with Tarzan when she first sees him. She's voiced by Rosie O'Donnell.
    Something that I've always found interesting about this movie is how they portrayed Kerchak in relation to how gorilla family groups are structured. As the leader of the group, all of the younger gorillas would be his offspring, including Terk and the boys she regularly hangs out with. He never seems to have bonded with his other kids the way he did with his and Kala's, and I'm sure a certain amount of tbat was him distancing himself intentionally. On the other hand, the silverback of the group will usually kick out the males before they reach the age that Tarzan and the older boys are, to stop them from trying to take over the troop (this also helps ensure genetic diversity within the group).

    Without a doubt one of my favorite films and perfect finale to close out the Disney Renaissance. Also Phil Collins who sang and wrote the songs of _Tarzan_ and _Brother Bear_ respectively in the original English language also sang the songs in French, German, Italian, and Spanish (both European and Latin Spanish).
    Finally some voice actors in Tarzan have also worked in other animated films for Disney, Wayne Knight who voiced Tantor the Elephant was the guy with the Pottery vases in _Hercules_ but on-screen fans know him for Nedry in _Jurassic Park_ and Newman in _Seinfeld_ and Sir Nigel Barnard Hawthorne, an English actor who voiced Archimedes Q. Porter voiced Fflewddur Fflam in _The Black Cauldron._

Besides Mulan, it was also one of the first Disney animated films that utilized CGI for some shots.

      I always thought that theory was kinda stupid, Elsa and Anna's parents don't even look similar to Tarzan's parents, not to mention their boat caught fire, whilst in Frozen it sank. If these two movies were in the same timeline, wouldn't Tarzan be much later? Clothes of the parents look more like early 20st century or very late 19th, according to google, story takes place around 1900s. Frozen is thought to be happening around 1850s, that's half a century earlier.
      The only thing that could potentially back this idea up is that both of the couples traveled on a ship at some point, were in heterosexual relationship and looked to be similar age. I was always so confused, that theory never made sense to me :0.

    When coming up with the way Tarzan would move through the jungle Disney animators and researchers actually went out and watched skateboarders at various skate parks or locations in the city. Those fluid movements that Tarzan uses are based on grinding and gliding with a board. They cited watching people navigate the "urban jungle" as their inspiration for his 'vine surfing'.

    This is movie is based on characters from a whole series of books. Disney very much cleaned up the story from the books, in spite of the death of Kala and Kerchak's son, Tarzan's parents and Clayton. Clayton, however, was an original character. Tarzan's birth parents named him John Clayton II. He was also an English Earl, the Earl of Greystoke. The original story is very different from this Disney version, but still very interesting. For example, Tarzan's parents knew that his mother was pregnant and they had taken many things with them on their journey. Things that they were able to rescue after the shipwreck, like children's books. He found the home where they were killed and those books and taught himself how to read with them. The jungle was full of native Africans, but they were enemies of Tarzan's. The first white man he ever met was a Frenchman who taught him how to speak. He wasn't fluent in English, so he taught Tarzan to speak French first. So, Tarzan learned to read and write English before he ever learned a spoken language and his first spoken language was French. If you like to read, I highly recommend the books.

  • @hallieraymond
    @hallieraymond Місяць тому +9

    There are lots of interesting things to think about in this movie. Of course, Burroughs's basic idea isn't remotely accurate to what would actually happen in the real world on several fronts, but it's a fascinating exploration of adoption, nature vs. choice, and more.
    One aspect I noticed in your reaction that I hadn't thought about before-because of your attention to Kerchak-is that Tarzan actually has more of Kerchak's respect than he thinks as an adult. He doesn't have affection. But Kerchak is protecting Tarzan as well as Terk and the others from the humans at the camp, and before Clayton pulls his subterfuge, Kerchak explicitly charges Tarzan with the protection of their family-he is considered an adult and a champion of their tribe, and Kerchak expects Tarzan to do his part to keep everyone safe in a way that he wouldn't if he still thought Tarzan was just an annoying tagalong.
    Another feature of their relationship? Tarzan could have challenged Kerchak for leadership of the family when he killed Sabor. Kerchak failed to protect the family. Tarzan did it, protecting Kerchak as well as everyone else when he faced Sabor. It exposed a weakness in Kerchak's leadership and gave Tarzan a claim to authority. When Tarzan brought Sabor's body to Kerchak, it was a demonstration that he wasn't going to make a challenge and still submitted to Kerchak's authority. This gives his later actions more weight. When he challenges of Kerchak's orders regarding the humans, there's an edge of danger to the status quo there. Tarzan doesn't have to submit to Kerchak at this point. He could actually move to take over and go a different direction with the family. Then, when he attacks Kerchak to protect Clayton, in addition to being a demonstration that his loyalties at the moment are with the humans and not the gorillas, it also serves as a humiliation of Kerchak and an overset of his familial authority. Tarzan rebelled against the laws of his tribe. He's technically an outlaw, and Kerchak could do a lot worse to him than he does. (Essentially public disgrace, maybe shunning, but not even exile because Kerchak is so legitimately relieved and happy when Tarzan returns.)
    But my favorite part of Tarzan has always been the juxtaposition between Tarzan's nature and his choices. "Son of Man" illustrates it beautifully with both lyrics and animation. Tarzan doesn't grow up a gorilla. Despite being raised by gorillas, he grows up indisputably and defiantly *human.* He makes more complex tools than his mother and cousins could ever think of. He makes his environment serve him. He learns many different forms of communication before he ever learns English, and takes wisdom from many different sources. He learns to swing from smaller monkeys, to swim from the hippos. He experiments to find new and more efficient ways of doing work. Not only is he human, he's a scientist and inventor in the most primal sense. Doing civilization from scratch.
    He realizes in the end that he is NOT a gorilla and won't ever be. But he also realizes he can choose his path and his family. In the climax, he essentially tells Clayton that he has learned he can choose what type of man to be. Before that, while dressed in a suit, intending to enter human society, and looking exactly like his biological father, he realizes the crucial difference between a person's genes and a person's family. It's a pretty darn nuanced portrayal of existence.
    And the Phil Collins songs slap.
