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

[@MissFlow]

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).

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.

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.

[@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.

[@matiasmarcelotoledop]

16:09 thats mostly because male Elephants don't live with their families once they grow up,male Elephants live alone and only hang out with others when it's mating season,so it kinda makes sence that he is not with his own

[@ToxicToxin0629]

One year, I was in 4th grade and for my elementary school’s talent show for that year, I won first place for singing “Son of Man”. I remember being so nervous about singing in front of an audience, I stared at the floor the entire time 😆

[@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.

[@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.

[@seungminmakesmestay]

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

[@twist58]

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.

[@videohistory722]

15:30 they're based off of Tony Hawk's skateboarding moves. The animators son was obsessed with skateboarding at the time, so he incorporated it in.

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.

[@masonsamvsandmemes5114]

One of the most beautifully animated movies of all time. Tarzan is one of my favorite animated characters ever

[@ConnorFerguson23]

Tarzan is one of my favorite childhood movies and it was really heartwarming and dark at the same time, the songs were amazing that Phil Collins did a great job and you can feel how Tarzan feels that how he is struggling to try to fit in one of the gorillas and the animation is breathtaking and the characters were memorable and likable definitely a worth while to watch from Disney.

[@saklee1777]

I find this movie better as an adult than when I was a kid. I wasn’t that into it as a kid

[@nathancruz9172]

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

It's cool that this film, along with Fantasia 2000, ends the era of the Disney renaissance. Although there is some gloom of the original source, it seems to me that Collins' music dilutes it. But after all this comes the post-renaissance, which gave the world more original and experimental works.

[@wattsink2009]
