Thoughts on my first Tarzan rewatch since I was a kid:

• Golly gee, I did not remember that both Kerchak and Kala’s very young son AND Tarzan’s parents get mauled by a leopard, it happens within the first ten minutes, and you actually SEE his parents’ bodies. Modern Disney would NEVER

• Also remember when Disney actually animated really good fight scenes, they had nail-biting tangible stakes, and they actually showed blood??? Remember when they weren’t cowards????

• REMEMBER WHEN TARZAN KILLED THE LEOPARD TRYING TO PROVE HIMSELF TO HIS ADOPTIVE FATHER HAVING NO IDEA THAT HE WAS AVENGING HIS BIOLOGICAL FATHER (AND MOTHER). REMEMBER THAT

• It’s been said before, but the effort put into the physicality of Tarzan is just top-tier—especially later into the film where he starts to mix his gorilla and learned human mannerisms. There is so much detail here and it’s fascinating

• Also, the times where they chose to make the gorilla conversations understandable to the audience or make them sound like gorillas (aka switch to Jane’s pov) is SO fascinating and does wonders for building up the “two worlds” dichotomy.

• Jane’s crush on Tarzan is SO obvious and honestly comes on so suddenly, she is delulu for days, but honestly I cannae blame her, if *I* was saved by a strong handsome wild man who couldn’t understand me but stared deeply into my eyes as if he could see my soul through them as he pressed the palms of our hands together, I’d probably fold too

• My favorite character was Tantor the elephant. WHAT a character arc, I was so proud of him

• Hey uhhhhhhhh remember how the villain of this movie died by inadvertently hanging himself and the movie indicated this by showing his dangling silhouette in a flash of lightning??? HELLO???

• Y’all like to give Ariel a hard time for giving up her voice for a man when Jane Porter permanently and irrevocably left civilized society to run away to the wilds of Africa to live with gorillas for a man she met a week or two ago who she’s still getting over language barrier issues with. I’m not saying she shouldn’t have done so, I completely support her decision, but I feel like if this movie weren’t so slept on some of y’all would have a lot more to say about it.

• In general Jane is a bit more unhinged than we give her credit for, and more power to her. She’s rapidly climbing the ranks of my favorite Disney princesses.

• And then her father joins her??? “People go missing all the time”???? LOL

• Finally, it’s been said before, but: Phil Collins, you legend. You did not have to go that hard on this film, but you did and we appreciate it so much

Disney likes to reuse stories.

The proof?

In this movie, a long-haired guy with a 6 pack and very little idea of what proper manners are meet a brown-haired scientist girl who they fall in love with.

𝙳𝚒𝚜𝚗𝚎𝚢 𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚌𝚎𝚙𝚝 𝚊𝚛𝚝Ｉᴛʜᴇ ʀᴇɴᴀɪꜱꜱᴀɴᴄᴇ (1989 - 1999)

Today it's Disney's Tarzan 15th Anniversary! Tarzan is my favourite movie of all time, for several reasons, one of them being that it's the film that brought back my love for animation. When I was Little, I used to do stickman animations with paint on my computer and for a while I actually tried to do my own rip off of the Naruto cartoon, but then I stopped. However one day on YouTube I found the pencil tests from Tarzan, and listening to Glen Keane speaking with so much passion and love towards the craft that I remembered just how fun it was to see something you did, come to life. I find Tarzan to be somewhat underrated. It was the last film of the Disney Renaissance, and it's 5-year anniversaries fall on the same years as Little Mermaid's and Lion King's, which usually overshadows it. So yeah, due to college (and the limit of my skills), I wasn't able to do much more than this sketch, however I hope you like it, and hey, give a watch to the movie. You certainly won't be disappointed.

Jane from Disney's Tarzan. I'm still battling to find a way to do Illustrations that suits me. https://twitter.com/AcHeJesus

probably the funniest thing from the animated movie tarzan is that Jane has a stereotypical quintessential british accent and she teaches tarzan to speak english-and somehow- HE ended up with an american accent?????

Top 10 Characters I want to see come to Disney Mirrorverse

I am a fan of Disney Mirrorverse. What impresses me the most about it is the story and most of all the character designs. However, there are a lot of other characters who I think have a lot of potential to come to Mirrorverse, and I'm gonna give you my top 10 characters that deserve to come to Mirrorverse. For each pick, I'll be going over what type of character they would be (Melee, Tank, Ranged, or Support), what they're playstyle could be, and maybe how some could be incorporated in the game. Now, this is my picks and not yours, and your picks can be completely different. Now, let's dive right in.

10. Goliath (Gargoyles)[Tank]

Starting off with the protagonist of a 90s Disney tv show that helped define a lot of childhoods (along Ducktales and Talespin). Goliath is a warrior that has a lot of abilities, from gliding, super strength, his basic claw strikes to even a bit of magic, a healing factor, and a rage mode. I see him as a Tank character, given he also has super durability, given he's a stone statue by day and defender by night.

9. Namaari (Raya and the Last Dragon)[Melee]

I had to add a villain to this, simply because we have a small number of villains than heroes in Mirrorverse, and I chose Namaari because not only would she be awesome in Mirrorverse, but it should make sense that she come to Mirrorverse since Raya is in the game. I see her Namaari as a Melee character having a playstyle and appearance of an Assassin, given her skills in martial arts and the use of two blades, but she could have an ability where she uses her crossbow for a ranged attack, and an ability where she calls on her big cat to attack enemies, or she can ride on it for some mounted attacks.

8. Robin Hood (Robin Hood)[Ranged]

Even though we have an archer in Merida in Mirrorverse, I think the OG archer of the Mouse House should come into the game, heck, Merida and Robin Hood could have a friendly rivalry to see who the better archer is (old school archer vs new school archer). But seriously, he would obviously be a Ranged character were he could have the standard abilities of an archer character in any MOBA/RPG game, from volley shots, charged shots, shooting arrows in a cone, etc., but I can also see Robin have an ability where he tosses out three bags of money and if his allies collect one, the will be healed (think Cupid from SMITE and his ability Share the Love); also he could have an ability where when he attacks an enemy, he has a chance to steal health, items, and of course, currency.

7. Merlin (The Sword in the Stone)[Ranged]

We all know that Merlin is one of the most amazing mentors not just in Disney history, but in all pop culture history. Being such an amazing and powerful sorcerer, he would be a Ranged character, easily harnessing Stellar Magic to give him access to many different spells, like taking inspiration from his counterpart in SMITE. I could even see him being a chief advisor of the Guardians, aiding some of them in training to giving them some helpful advice.

6. Wart aka Arthur Pendragon (The Sword in the Stone)[Melee]

When Merlin comes to Mirrorverse, Arthur should definitely join him. Arthur does have Excalibur, and thanks to user s10127470, Arthur's Mirrorverse design could have him wear a magical suit of armor created by Merlin to enhance his physical abilities. Arthur's playstyle could possibly be similar to his SMITE counterpart, but given that Merlin is teaching him, Arthur could also be like a Spellblade or an Eldritch Knight, using a bit of magic to empower his sword fighting. While Arthur is still in training (you know, to be a warrior and a freaking king), he's got a lot of allies who have a lot of experience to help him.

5. Kidagakash "Kida" Nedakh (Atlantis: The Lost Empire)[Melee]

Atlantis: The Lost Empire is a very underrated movie, and it shouldn't be, so having someone from the movie come to Mirrorverse would give it some representation, and while Milo Thatch would also be a good candidate, I had to go with Kida. Much like Merida, Raya, and Mulan, Kida is a warrior princess (in Kida's case, a warrior princess turned queen) with a lot of abilities, from using an Atlantean spear, martial arts, throwing knives, and using Atlantean magic, so her playstyle could go from her warrior side or her mystic side, but thinking about Freya, Maman Bridgitte, and Ao Kuang (SMITE), I think that Kida could be like how they play: having physical basic attacks, and having magic abilities. So, a Melee attacks like using Atlantean magic to power up basic attacks, shooting magical shots, place a shield around an ally, or heal them.

4. Tarzan (Tarzan)[Melee]

Another warrior from Disney that needs to make it into Mirrorverse. He would clearly be a Melee character where he would use his spear for basic attacks, and even an ability were he throws it like a javelin toss, and taking some inspration from Nidalee (League of Legends) and drawing inspiration from a Totem Warrior from DnD, where he could summon a gorilla spirit to attack enemies, and he can also use his signature cry to raise the attack and critical hit stats of his allies. So yeah, this jungle daddy definitely deserves to make his mark in Mirrorverse.

3. Li Shang (Mulan)[Melee]

I believe Shang could play similarly to Mulan, but with some creative differences. He would be a Melee character where he uses a sword, like Mulan, but he would also use a bo staff and bow and arrow, and his passive could reflect his lack of sense of pain where attacks from enemies that hit him take half the damage they would normally do. He could also use buffs to raise his allies stats like critical hit chance, focus, etc. He could be incorporated in an event where he oversee's the Guardian's training session and personally training certain Guardians.

2. Prince Naveen (The Princess and the Frog)[Support]

Since Tiana is an alchemist in Mirrorverse, it only makes sense that Naveen to come to the game as a bard, given his love for music and his main instrument being a small guitar. Naveen would obviously be a Support character where his playstyle can take inspiration from characters like Apollo (SMITE) and Sona (League of Legends), using his music to heal, protect, and buff up his allies, while damaging and debuffing enemies.

Honorable Mentions

Davy Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest)[Melee]

Shan Yu (Mulan)[Tank]

Captain Phoebus (The Hunchback of Notre Dame)[Melee]

Esmeralda (The Hunchback of Notre Dame)[Support]

Pocahontas (Pocahontas)[Support or Ranged]

Darkwing Duck (Darkwing Duck)(Ranged)

The Headless Horseman (The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad)[Melee]

Prince Eric (The Little Mermaid)[Melee]

Prince Phillip (Sleeping Beauty)[Melee]

I had to put Prince Phillip on the top spot because he should've already been in the game when it first came out. I mean, the guy is one of the most proactive characters in the Mouse House and he clearly knows his way around a fight. He would be a Melee character utilizing his classic arsenal: the Sword of Truth and the Shield of Virtue, and possibly taking some inspiration from Lancelot (SMITE) and even Leona (League of Legends). Also, since Princess Aurora is coming to Mirrorverse, Prince Phillip needs to join her.

That's it, everyone, feel free to comment, but keep any and all shady comments to yourself, or be blocked. Thank you and God bless.

Top 10 Characters I want to see come to Disney Mirrorverse (Part 2)

One list wasn't enough. There are more characters that have potential to be amazing in Mirrorverse, so I decided to make another list of 10 more characters that should be in Mirrorverse. Once again, I'll be going over what type of character type each would be (Melee, Tank, Ranged, or Support), what they're playstyle could be, and maybe how they could be incorporated in the game. Also, these are my picks and not yours, and your picks could be different from my picks. Without further delay, let's get into it.

10. Queen of Hearts (Alice in Wonderland)[Tank]

With Alice in Mirrorverse, it should make sense that more characters from Wonderland join the game, like the Queen of Hearts. Other fans have been wanting her to join Mirrorverse, mostly because there is a small number of villains than there are heroes, and they have thought out her playstyle. For me personally, I see her as a Tank, with a playstyle of a Berserker (with a passive where her basic attack power increases the more angry she is, with a chance of her landing a critical hit), with a heart-shaped axe (a reference to her catchphrase "Off With Their Head!"); also, she could summon card soldiers to fight for her.

9. Cecil Clayton (Tarzan)[Ranged]

Another villain that should come to Mirrorverse, especially because Tarzan was on my first list. Obviously, he would be a Ranged character, utilizing his rifle and also using traps to slow down enemies, basically drawing some inspiration from Caitlyn and Graves (League of Legends).

8. Long John Silver (Treasure Planet)[Tank]

A villain from one of Disney's underrated movies, John Silver would definitely be interesting to see in Mirrorverse. I see him being a Tank, using his cybernetics to fight Fractured and Titanborn, like using his sword for basic attacks, a plasma cannon and flamethrower for ranged attacks, and his cybernetic eye to scan an enemy's weakness, increasing accuracy and critical hit chance.

7. Dr. Facilier (The Princess & the Frog)[Ranged]

I know for a fact that Dr. Facilier deserves to be in Mirrorverse. He would be a Ranged character, utilizing Stellar Magic to enhance his voodoo powers, giving him a playstyle that's similar to Baron Samedi (SMITE), or taking creative liberties for his playstyle, like summoning voodoo mask to attack and defend with, using his cards like throwing stars/knives, and using his shadow to attack enemies, all that jazz (no pun intended).

6. Madam Mim (The Sword in the Stone)[Tank]

Madam Mim would be interesting to see in Mirrorverse, since I put Merlin and Arthur in my first list, and her playstyle would be just as interesting. I could see her being a Tank character, utilizing her shapeshifting powers, such as using her dragon form as her signature ability, or utilizing Stellar Magic to improve her black sorcery.

5. The Lone Ranger (The Lone Ranger)[Ranged]

Who remembers The Lone Ranger movie from 2013? And who remembers that Lone Ranger was in Disney Infinity? Well, having him in Mirrorverse would be awesome. He would clearly be a Ranged character, using his twin guns, and even a lasso (like Woody does), possibly making his playstyle a mix of Miss Fortune and Lucien (League of Legends).

4. Taran, Eilonwy, and the Horned King [The Black Cauldron](Melee, Support, and Ranged, respectively)

I know I cheated on this, but I still stand by this choice, simply because The Black Cauldron is another underrated movie (with a cult following) and can bring some representation to the game. Taran, our plucky protagonist, would be a Melee character using his Magic Sword. Eilonwy, one of Disney's underrated princesses (along with Kida) would use her Magic Orb to be a Support character, possibly taking inspiration from Oriana (League of Legends). Finally, the Horned King, the most evil, darkest, and scariest villain in the Mouse House, would be a Ranged character, using his Dark Magic, enhanced with the inclusion of Stellar Magic, like firing dark lightning, or even summoning undead soldiers to fight for him. In fact, my older brother suggested the Horned King to be in Mirrorverse, and even said that he could be incorporated in the game as a final boss in a story arc.

3. Jim Hawkins (Treasure Planet)[Melee]

The protagonist of Treasure Planet also deserves of be in Mirrorverse since I chose John Silver to be in the game. He would be a Melee character, using a sword and a plasma pistol. Someone even suggested he use his treasure map to expose the weakness of his enemies. His signature ability could have him use his Solar Surfer to perform an air strike.

2. Powerline (A Goofy Movie)[Ranged]

Another pick from my older brother, and I could see it. Powerline is charismatic, an amazing performer, his songs are amazing, and he was also in Disney Sorcerers Arena, as well as Disney Heroes Battle Mode. I see him as a Ranged character, being imbued with Stellar Magic giving him electrokinetic powers, and having a playstyle that draws inspiration from Seraphine (League of Legends). His backstory could even be something like using his music to bring people together to fight against the Fractured and Titanborn, similar to Lucio (Overwatch).

Honorable Mentions

Demona (Gargoyles)[Melee or Ranged]

Negaduck (Darkwing Duck)[Melee or Tank]

The Sanderson Sisters (Hocus Pocus)[Winifred-Ranged, Mary-Tank, Sarah-Support]

Chernobog (Fantasia)[Tank] - final boss of a story arc and another pick from my older brother

Kim Possible (Kim Possible)[Melee]

Tia Dalma (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest)[Ranged]

Flynn Rider (Tangled)[Melee]

Flynn should definitely be in Mirrorverse since he's basically an RPG character already, being a thief. He would be a Melee character having a playstyle that could play with his swashbuckling side or his rogue/thief side.

That's all, everyone. Feel free to like and comment, but keep any negative comments to yourself, or be blocked. May God bless you, and peace out.

Will you all cease to respect me as a serious grown-up person if I admit this is my favourite Disney love story?

P.S. I am such an animation geek for this film, it's a story that REALLY benefits from the animated medium.
