Watching Tarzan (1999) FOR THE FIRST TIME!! || Movie Reaction!

"The dad is probably not going to like him." It turns out Jane's dad is one of the best Disney dads in history.

[@monsterhanna6691]

I couldn't agree more. "Oh, I moved." 😂

[@embran8486]

Basically the same as Maurice. But Maurice gets extra points for getting over his prejudice against Beast (hey him encountering Beast, locked up in the cell, out in the cold, almost asylum is traumatic) but it helps Adam became human again. If Beast stayed Beast not sure if Maurice would have liked Belle with him. Then again he liked his daughter too much. Just lingering concern. Mr. Porter faced a human from the get go, half-ape was almost instantly gone after he met Tarzan and being a professor, biologist plus likely anthropologist he gets more easily over non-human traits ^^

[@jp3813]

@@embran8486 What about the sultan?

[@embran8486]

@@jp3813 Interesting. The sultan is accepting from the get-go, but let's be honest: all because of the way the story unfolded. Aladdin status would have been an issue if Aladdin did not uncover Jafar's threat & trickery. Also the Sultan is a bit funny in the head. If not for his final words or take on Aladdin as new "Grand Vizier" in Return of Jafar you would expect him to be senile. Still all three are awesome Disney dad's. You maybe can add old king/ Prince Charming's father to it too.

Out of all the Disney relationships, I think Tarzan's and Jane's had the most chemistry. I loved the way Tarzan was always trying to look into Jane's eyes and Jane couldn't take his gaze she always had to look away. I also liked how they spent time together, learning about each other. It's so romantic.

[@Blueeyesinthesky]

Honestly I agree and I don’t get why no one is talking about it. It’s sooo romantic and they def have really strong chemistry

Highly disagree but they do have a nice relationship.

[@aaronboone8097]

Lady and the tramp tho? Lol. I never really thought about it but hea they have good chemistry for sure. For me Pocahontas and Jon Smith have the best bond ad far as Disney relationships go.

[@AdamIshak01]

Also, Tarzan, my man- a whole grown man, literally waited until he learned a whole language before he could kiss her. Teenagers take a language class for 4 years and still barely can form 6 sentences after. Truly he respected Jane because he waited until he can communicate and understand her before he showed actual intimacy. Even after he tries to kiss her and she becomes shy and turns away, he still tries to just look at her.

[@jayd7273]

Damn even I didn’t know that! Thanks bud!

[@ViewerOnline101]

Here's a fun fact that Disney did. In the original Tarzan book, Tarzan's real name is Clayton, and the movie made Clayton the villain who's basically the antithesis of Tarzan.

[@luvlee-]

And then in the legend of tarzan he is suddenly "lord Clayton", can stuff make sense?

[@toria0214]

Oh that’s such a cool fact! I had no idea!

[@Palmieres]

This is nothing like the book(s), though. No movie adaptation has come even close to the actual plot of the books, or the relationships between the characters. Book Tarzan basically teaches himself everything, including reading French after he discovers his family's shelter and possessions. He can't speak it properly but he understands it in the written form. And Clayton is an actual character in the book as well, but he's not a villain, he's part of the expedition and a friend of the Porters. Poor Clayton ends up dying in pretty grim circumstances but he's quite an honourable fellow, who loves Jane and does everything in his power to protect her, and who just happens to be Tarzan's cousin. The first time Tarzan and Jane meet they don't speak a word to eachother and only exchange any type of dialogue much later, after Tarzan has been taught how to speak English by someone else. There's a whole lot of more mature and things happening that never made it into the adaptations because the books aren't really kid-friendly.

[@justinnaniong7872]

Also, Clayton is voiced by Brian Blessed, who dubs the Tarzan yell in this film.

[@gleam6370]

Also huge props to Mark Mancina for his soundtrack.

Tarzan is literally my favorite disney movie ever, I know all the lines and songs by heart because i've seen that many times, but watching you cry at 28:23 when Tarzan came out with human clothes, made me cry all over again :'( thank you so much for this amazing reaction, I got teary so many times watching this! For sure a new subscriber

[@butterflylatte3079]

I'd definitely suggest 'Balto' for a watch, too. Phil Collins' music isn't in it, but he does do a voice role!

[@dilfhunterthv01]

Tarzan came out a few years before I was born (in January 2001). Throughout my childhood I loved it so much. But what’s so funny to me is when I watched it as a child w/ my mom, she told me it was my fave when I was a little baby as well. Everyone in my family said that I would cry a lot. Then one day I saw the movie Tarzan on and I would stop crying. So they started putting it on for me. Then when it would go off I would cry, so they would have to play it over and again. The music score for Tarzan still is so soothing and my fave, even tho I’m 20 now.😂😭

There’s a theory out there that Jane is actually a descendant of Belle and the Beast, moved to England during the French Revolution which would have taken place a few years after that film. Perhaps the tea set was a family heirloom.

[@echowall5967]

And the theory that Tarzans parents are Anna and Elsas parents and that they were on their way to Rapunzel and Flynn’s wedding and that the ship Ariel sees at the beginning of the little mermaid is Tarzans parents ship and that Ariel and Hercules are related since Hercules’ uncle is Poseidon and Poseidon is Ariels Grandpa and that the shooting star Hercules sees during “I can go the distance” is actually Aladdin and Jasmine on the carpet during “A Whole New World”

[@zainhartono7193]

@@echowall5967 I know. Though I’m not too much of a fan of the Tarzan, Elsa and Anna being that closely related. I do t know Frozen and Tarzan feel like they take place in different eras of history. I will grant they go to attend Rapunzel’s wedding but that’s about it.

[@johnathangrey2003]

Flynn & Rapunzel at the very least definitely make a cameo at the end of Frozen. The Sundrop Flower is at the end of Moana. Rapunzel had a Sleeping Curse Spinning Wheel, a Pinocchio look-alike and a Pumba look-alike. As well as Fairytale books about Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid and Sleeping Beauty. Queen La of Opar in Legend of Tarzan resembled Kida from Atlantis: The Lost Empire. In the Tarzan novels, Opar was a lost colony of Atlantis. A fish resembling Flounder is in Jungle Book 2. The King and Grand Duke from Cinderella attend the wedding in Little Mermaid. Peter Pan’s shadow can be seen on the Kings royal proclamation in Cinderella. In Oliver & Company Ratigan from the Great Mouse Detective is in the photos of Georgette’s suitors and Bill the Lizard from Alice in Wonderland is working as one of his henchmen in Mouse Detective. Both Mouse Detective and Lilo & Stitch have toy Dumbo’s. In Oliver & Company Tito sings “Heigh-Ho” from Snow White and while Dodger sings ‘Why Should I Worry?’ we see Peg, Jock and Trusty from Lady and the Tramp being being walked by their owners. Presumably taking place after Lady & The Tramp since Peg was a stray. Younger Peg is sitting in a Pet Shop window in 101 Dalmations. Lady and Tramp are also apart of 101 Dalmatians Twilight Bark. Jasper and Horace appear to be driving the Milkman’s Milk Truck from Aristocats. Amos Slade from Fox and the Hound being the hunter that killed Bambi’s Mother, and the Pheasant & Ducks from Little April Showers are in Fox and the Hound. Bambi and his Mother as well as the bird from April Showers are seen in the Rescuers during Someone's Waiting for You. Tinkerbell is in the Fairy Cave in the Black Cauldron. Belle, Magic Carpet and two more Pumba look-alikes have cameos in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The Genie shape-shifted into Pinocchio & Pocahontas. A Beast figure is in the Sultans Tower of exotic creatures in Aladdin. How about Hercules and the Arabian Night? An actual Aladdin crossover episode on Hercules the Animated Series that confirms the two are in the same universe. Plus Scar’s pelt throwrug in Hercules. Lilo & Stitch the Series also had crossover episodes with Kim Possible, American Dragon Jake Long, Proud Family, and Disney’s Recess. A Stitch Toy is seen in Treasure Planet. That connects Frozen, Moana, Tangled, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Pinocchio, Pocahontas, Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, the Great Mouse Detective, Dumbo, Lilo & Stitch, Oliver & Company, Lady & The Tramp, 101 Dalmatians, Snow White, Bambi, The Aristocats, Fox and the Hound, the Rescuers, the Black Cauldron, Beauty & the Beast, Tarzan, Atlantis, Jungle Book, Little Mermaid, Hercules, Aladdin, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, Lion King, Kim Possible, American Dragon Jake Long, Proud Family, Disney’s Recess, and Treasure Planet. One of my own personal theories is that Cinderella, Aurora, and Anita Radcliff are all relatives. They’re remarkably similar to each other because Helene Stanley was the live model for all of them. A girl that bears a striking resemblance to them, has a cameo in Oliver & Company. disney.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_cameos_in_Disney_films?file=Oliver-company-disneyscreencaps.com-3295.jpg The only film that is undoubtedly fictional in their universe is Mulan. There’s a movie poster in Lilo’s bedroom. However, a Little Brother toy falls out of Archimedes’s pocket when the Gorillas have him flipped upside down. So there’s a theory that a relative of his could possibly go on to work in the film industry, and were inspired by his toy dog.

[@zainhartono7193]

@@johnathangrey2003 not saying they aren’t connected, just saying there is at least nine generations separating Elsa and Anna from Tarzan.

[@johnathangrey2003]

@Zain Hartono My apologies, I wasn’t trying to imply you were saying that. I was just noting all of the connections throughout the Disney Universe that weren’t already mentioned. I totally understand feeling like they’re in different eras. Technically Frozen II disproves Chris Bucks idea of them being Tarzans parents. They were apparently heading north across the Dark Sea attempting to reach Ahtohallan. So they could find the source of Elsa’s powers. Honestly, I’d prefer it if Frozen didn’t exist. As a whole it’s such a waste of potential and a huge disservice to Hans Christian Andersen‘s Snow Queen. Which is particularly sad considering they were working on adapting it as far back as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937. They shelved it. Restarted the project in the late 90’s, scrapped it again in 2002. Had numerous unsuccessful attempts before they shelved it again. Chris Buck came on board in 2008 because he was inspired to write a different kind of story. Entered development hell in 2010 and it wouldn’t be until 2013 that it got released. That’s about 76 years, and rather than adapt the actual story they completely re-wrote it. Even naming the villain after the original author. That’s seriously disrespectful to the person who’s legacy your making money off of. The Snow Queen is a beautiful, wonderful fairy tale that deserved better. Hallmark’s Snow Queen (2002) and TMS Entertainment‘s Snow Queen (2005) are so much better. The one thing so many adaptions get very wrong is the Snow Queen being portrayed as a villain. When in reality she, much like Ursula, was a neutral figure in the fairytale. Depending on how you view the Snow Queens actions, they actually lead to a lot of good because without her Gerda (Not Anna!) wouldn’t of been able to go on that long journey to save Kai (Not Kristoff! Definitely not Elsa!) from his cursed frozen heart. Absolutely no one in Frozen goes through any meaningful growth or journey. It just goes through the motions as if they did. Much like Brave.

I think the reason the full 'You'll be in my heart' wasn't in the movie was because Phill Collins wrote the song as a lullaby for his daughter Lily (who is now a famous actress) and it wasn't written for Tarzan, to my knowledge this has never been confirmed but Lily has said in many interviews that the song was a lullaby written for her 10 years (or so) before the movie was released

Fun Fact: Tarzan began as a pulp adventure novel by author Edgar Rice Burroughs ("Tarzan of the Apes"), and spawned many many sequels and film adaptations. I read a bunch of them, maybe 15 or so, but I think there were like 35-40 altogether. Burroughs also wrote the "A Princess Of Mars"/John Carter series, among others.

2:54 i still shocked how disney litteraly put their dead bodies in this scene, that's not like, just showing that they died, but not showing THEM, like disney used to do! That's really brutal, you can litteraly see it clearly... Some people doesn't realize that, i also just realized that some years ago... btw, they did the same with cleyton, but they showed his shadow hangged (that's really dark for a kids movie), but they didn't show his actual body

[@Shaesi.]

I guess they did a really good job in the way the showed the bodies since it seems like most of us didn't realize that the dead bodies were lying there when we saw the movie as kids.

[@nuclearbirds]

The Vine-Surfing scenes in this were animated using Deep Canvas, a proprietary animation program developed by Disney where they would 3D model an environment and hand-animate the finer details over it. The same technology was later used in Treasure Planet, but to such a degree that it inflated production costs and was one of the many reasons why it lost so much money despite being an imaginative and fun adaptation.

FYI, besides the sequel to this movie that's more like a insert in this movie, we have a series that follows up in this movie from Disney. It's known as The legend of Tarzan. It might not be the same quality but it continues the journey of Tarzan and Jane and their friends. If you're interested. This movie is based on a series of books that are dark in nature. They're quite different than this apodation of Tarzan just to let you know. Also fun fact is that the man who wrote the books also came out with John Carter of Mars which Disney did made a live action movie.

_"She IS his mom, though... she's the one who raised him..."_ This. This right here. As an adopted person myself, it drives me NUTS when biological parents are referred to as an adopted child's _"REAL parents"_ because no, they're not. They're the child's _biological_ parents. Their _REAL_ parents are the ones who loved and raised them. The point is: family ties are determined by your _heart,_ not just your genes. A lot of people place far too much importance on genes.

[@morganqorishchi8181]

Kala is one of the best Disney moms. She went through unfathomable loss and pain and instead of becoming bitter, she adopted a total stranger's baby and loved him and raised him with all the tenderness in the world. She deserves more appreciation. And Jane's dad is one of the best Disney dads. He supports Jane's scientific inclinations and art, he supports her loving Tarzan, and he gives up his high-paying scientific job back in England to live with Jane and Tarzan in the jungle. The animated series also confirms he raised Jane alone after her mother died in childbirth. (Plus Tarzan's biological parents were truly dedicated to making the best of a literal shipwreck.) This movies has SO MANY GOOD PARENTS. I love it. It's so wholesome.

[@ifeelpretty5790]

I remember seeing this movie in the movie theater when it first came out! It was like the second movie I remember seeing in a theater (first was Mulan). My class often watched movies during naptime and when watching Tarzan, we all started clapping along to "Son of Man" and the teacher yelled at us to knock it off 🤣 What did you expect lady?

There's a popular movie conspiracy that says Belle might be an ancestor or far relative of Jane, which explains why she has a tea set that looks similar to the ones from Beast's castle. She either inherited it, or it was given as a gift. ☺ *"I was saved by a flying wild man in a loincloth,"* never fails to make me giggle. 😂 Edit: I was watching this in my living room and laughing like an idiot at the funny scenes.

This was the first Disaney movey I saw in theatres.

[@danofsteel785]

The name "Sabor", the leopardess that mauled Tarzan's human parents and Kerchak and Kala's infant, is actually the Mangani (the language of the fictional great apes that raised Tarzan instead of western lowland gorilla like this movie) term attributed to lionesses in the original books. "Sheeta" is actually given to leopards, but since lions aren't apex predators in the jungle, the name was given to the leopard. "You'll Be In My Heart" is essentially a lullaby for Phil Collins's daughter Lily. It definitely deserved the Oscar and Golden Globe wins. Brian Blessed, the voice of Clayton, had to do Tarzan's signature yell because Tony Goldwyn, the voice of Tarzan, couldn't pull it off. Making Tarzan "tree-surf" Tony Hawk -style will never not be the best thing about this movie, or any adaptation of the Tarzan stories. Truly pushing the boundaries of hand-drawn animation. I would kill for another film like this.

[@Cassimfan]

In Kerchak's defense they JUST lost their own child and then Kala comes back with this strange baby wanting to keep him. It's why he presses so insistently to know if Tarzan really is alone. He has to keep his family safe and having strange creatures come looking for their lost baby would certainly make it more difficult. However you can see he softens slightly when Kala tells him Sabor killed the parents given that Sabor killed their child. He's not really given time or the ability to grieve before Tarzan is suddenly brought into the picture, so his response is not entirely unfounded. Especially since, in his eyes, it seems like Kala just replaced their child with Tarzan. However, when he does finally accept Tarzan Kerchak proves that whomever he sees as part of his family he will protect with everything he has, given the way he charges Clayton. You can see he is PISSED.
