Favorite Character

I rewatched Tarzan for the first time in years. It had been so long I did not fully remember how it ended.

My take after the viewing: I loved it. I never remember adoring it as a kid, but I thought it was fantastic. The music and message are so different from many Disney movies, but extremely well done.

I always find it interesting when the villain is a young, decent looking white guy. So that was something to take note of. And I loved Jane more than I remembered. She is so intelligent and I really enjoyed how practical she seems throughout. She definitely comes across as more real than a ton of the other Disney "princesses."

However, enjoying the movie was not my only take. I think I have officially established my all time favorite Disney character.



When Tantor says, "But what about bacteria?" in his cute voice, I DIED. He jumped straight toward the top in my power ranking of "best Dinsey characters" after re-watching. 

All-in-all, I would highly recommend a rematch of Tarzan. I think this is a movie people like but is for some reason not as frequently talked about, despite fairly forward-thinking messages and characterization. We should change that!
