Tarzan Is Darker Than I Remember.. | Tarzan Reaction | You'll Be In My Heart Is The Best Song Ever!

Tarzan Reaction is today's video!
Hey everyone! Join me as I watch Tarzan today and relive my childhood!
In this Disney animated tale, the orphaned Tarzan (Tony Goldwyn) grows up in the remote African wilderness, raised by the gentle gorilla Kala (Glenn Close). When a British expedition enters the jungle, Tarzan encounters the beautiful Jane (Minnie Driver) and recognizes that, like her, he's human. Falling in love with Jane, Tarzan is torn between embracing civilization and staying with his gorilla family, which becomes threatened by the ruthless hunter Clayton (Brian Blessed).

The shadow of Clayton's hanging body was always there. some might have missed it since the focus of the camera is mostly on his machette and Tarzan. I had a friend who didn't noticed it either but later on saw it and was flabbergasted an image like this passed the censors. yet again, we did see Tarzan's parent's corpses lying there as well, blood and all. Disney used to have balls I tell ye

[@Gen_ShadowCompany_203]

Yeah, I missed it when I watched it as a kid

[@veraaurelis8931]

Me too, as a kid all I remembered the scene from Carla finding the treehouse was the feathers floating on the ground, I only saw the blood and the parents’ bodies when I was older (like 10+ years I guess). And then years later I learned about Clayton’s scene from some movie trivia page. Guess I was not the brightest kid!

[@silverthediamondwitch]

I saw it when the movie came out. My parents and younger siblings missed it then, thankfully.... But yeah. Years later, they were shocked to see what they had missed too. I have a theory... Most young kids may see the image and not know what it means and discount/forget it... There are ALOT of adult references in our childhood Fave movies...

[@tatyanarodriguez1561]

I am surprised I noticed the shadow and not Tarzan's parents. I needed someone to point them out to me when I was 17.

[@RENTnerd87]

When I saw it theatrically I totally missed the shadow and thought Clayton had simply fallen out of the tree to his death (which btw is what almost all the book adaptations claimed happened, just like most book adaptations of The Lion King claimed Scar died in the fall).

Tarzan actually has a special place in my heart, cause since I was three up until I was 14 I was part of a local dance studio in my hometown. We performed a gala at the local theatre every year, and one of the themes that we did the most was Disney ❤️❤️. What makes Tarzan special though is that it was actually the first time I ever performed a solo after I went up to the advanced level, and I played the part of Jane. I had the movie so I watched it for the first time in a while to see how to style myself, and ever since watching it has brought up that memory 😍❤️. I performed a routine to You’ll Be In My Heart and Strangers Like Me, and it ended up being one of the last times I ever performed as a full time member. That memory is super special to me, and recently my old instructor sent out a message to all older members available to RSVP for a special 20th anniversary performance ❤️❤️. So I’m gonna return there soon and hopefully see some of my older classmates. Thanks for bringing up such a special memory of my childhood Cody, and I’m exited for Beauty And The Beast cause it’s one of my favorites ❤️❤️

[@isaiahadams1996]

It holds a special place in my heart too! Cause one I can relate to not fitting in. Two, I love animals. And three, it’s got one of the best soundtracks ever created.

Tarzan was one of the Disney films that I was the most hyped about upon its theatrical release! In my opinion, it’s almost on par with The Lion King with its animation, characters, and soundtrack. Wonderful to watch this film with you, Cody!🙂

I have to say, Disney's Tarzan has most Epic soundtrack with Lion King and Brother Bear and and this film makes me cry always with the Lion king. I am close to 40 now and this with Lion King belong so heavily in my childhood. Thank you Cody for reacting this! And can we all just appreciate the animation , the look in the eys and faces when Tarzan placed his hands against Jane? The scene is not emotional but also animation perfectness. You can't use CGI to animate those emotions that well.

[@nathancruz9172]

42:12 I remember this silhouette hanging on vines from Clayton’s death.

[@morganspider-manmarvelfan6110]

It flew over my head as a kid, because it’s a “Blink and you’ll miss it” detail.

[@ad1kher0gaming71]

Freaking this movie... It was my very first animated movie i ever laid eyes on and the fact that the animation is still stunning today certainly is saying something. I love every single thing about this movie- the soundtrack, the scenery, the visuals, the story- everything. I could rewatch it 5 times a day when i was younger xD that's how much I loved it then. I still do now

[@xDelase]

I wish they would go back to this art style and take a step back with the 3d animations cause you’re totally right - THIS was Disneys peak!

[@SpacialRend7]

The size of a character’s eyes is to show how expressive they can be in their faces, as they are the windows to the soul. So, it’s only natural that they are drawn bigger.

[@matveynoname7083]

Like the CGI elements too

[@kriscynical]

Exactly. That and babies' eyes ARE pretty big in proportion to the rest of their skull. It's one of the instinctual things that makes any animal attach itself to their young - most all babies, no matter the species, have large eyes for that reason.

[@morganspider-manmarvelfan6110]

I remember when Joshua Sweet says that in Atlantis 2:Milo’s Return

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

I think that it's a choice they've kept with drawing and designing the characters in each Disney movie ever since The Little Mermaid. It's funny how I never noticed it until it was pointed out to me. I believe it's to give the protagonists a hint of innocence in them.

[@monsterhanna6691]

And also, they're cartoons. 😂

This soundtrack is the BEST one of the 90s. Encanto is the best one from this/last year.

[@veraaurelis8931]

I mean this in the most respectful way - when Kerchak was dying and he called Tarzan “my son” I was cracking up on how Cody went wide eyed then immediately started crying. Sorry. 😂 Loved that heartfelt reaction!

[@ctaco5112]

One of my all time FAVORITE Disney movies!!!

[@Hastalavistababy08]

I still can’t believe Disney had the *BALLS* to show a baby gorilla getting killed, bloody paw prints on the treehouse floor, tarzans DEAD parents and the shadow of Clayton getting hanged. No wonder my mom didn’t let me watch this when I was little🥲🥲🥲

[@morganspider-manmarvelfan6110]

They didn’t show the baby gorilla getting killed, but the original version of the opening did show Sabor killing Tarzan’s Dad.

[@rodgill9376]

Its easy to forget how much of a badass Tarzan was. I also forgot how dark and serious the movie was at times despite also being funny and witty. I'm also jealous how fit and muscular Tarzan is. I mean... look at this dude's legs and calves for god's sake lol. And yes, the soundtrack and score is still good after all these years too.

[@MatthewJamesKalasky]

Tarzan also doesn't get splinters on his feet despite all that time, what should we call it, surfing(?) on those vines or roots or whatever they are.

[@jadeknowsbest1674]

Well, he's presumably been doing this for decades = calluses. You get calluses from climbing as it is w/o tree-surfing.

[@nariman8276]

Tarzan and Brother Bear are both Disney movies that have Phil Collins songs in them, and in 5th Grade, I watched the entire Tarzan movie for the first time on ABC Family after Thanksgiving Day, and I had to sing Brother Bear’s On My Way song for my school graduation.

[@GamingFanactic911]

Phil Collins is a master in music. He absolutely dominated the Tarzan soundtrack. You'll Be in My Heart is one of my all-time favorite Disney songs. The movie itself is also fantastic. Really dark at times but man it is sooo good😄😄❤

[@ToxicToxin0629]

Also, mainly because of “King Kong”, as a child I absolutely loved gorillas, so when I saw this movie for the first time and Kerchak was getting attacked by Sabor, I screamed in fear so loudly my dad came running in and turned the movie off. Don’t ask why I was fine with “King Kong” but not “Tarzan”, I don’t even know myself.

The film that marked the end of the Disney Renaissance Era. Compared to its preceding films before it, Tarzan had the most character deaths in Disney animation history (at least until Atlantis came in). Phil Collins also did a splendid job with the most memorable songs in this movie too! Glad he won his Oscar for Best Original Song here! He earned it.

For a Disney Show it was actually decent I remember all the characters were rollerblading and swinging on vines and remember having a Meet and Greet with Terk. It was such fun but unfortunately for Disney World they had to replace their rides and shows to keep it up to date with newer attractions.
