>> Crazy Nate: Ahhhhhhhlrighty then gents and gentlets, we’re going on an easter egg
adventure to Africa.
No, I’m not talking about Lion King or the Pride Lands of Africa.
Today we’re going into the Jungles of Africa, for everything you missed in Disney's Movie
Tarzan.
Ahhhh!
(intro music plays)
Tarzan starts off looking very much like a cartoon version of Disney’s Classic Swiss
Family Robinsons.
It starts off with the Ship is in a storm
the family escapes to an island
they build a tree house
there's a tiger of course
but that’s as far as it goes.
Disney's creative enough to show us that this was actually going to be more like several
of their movies.
But first, here’s a few hidden mickeys scattered all throughout the movie.
Easter eggs were a way for Disney to show ownership of the movie, and also because the
animators would sometimes get bored drawing the movie one picture frame at a time
so they would put secrets in there for their own entertainment, that’s why we find easter
eggs to older movies from before it would even be possible to spot these easter eggs.
I’m talking about like VHS days.
Unlike a lot of movies Tarzan had two villains, Sabor the leopard,
>> Michael Scott: Sabor, Sabor.
>> Dwight: Oh, Sabor, of course.
>> Crazy Nate: and Clayton the Gorilla Poacher.
We know Sabor is the murderer of Tarzan's true mother and father.
But thankfully Tarzan unknowingly avenges his parents death.
>> Bryan Mills: I will find you and I will kill you.
>> Crazy Nate: The problem though is Leopards only live an average of 15 years, so since
this is the same leopard that killed his parents 20 years ago,
then Tarzan basically killed a super old grandma leopard.
So killing the leopard wouldn’t be nearly as hard as fighting Clayton the villain, which
we meet almost immediately after Sabor the villain dies,
because what’s a movie without a bad guy.
Clayton and Sabor actually have a lot more in common though than just wanting to kill
Tarzan.
They actually match like the Olsen twins.
Their color is exactly the same, Clayton's scarf is the same color as Sabor's tongue.
This was deliberately planned to show you that Clayton was going to be the next bad
guy.
Originally Sabor was going to be a black Panther, which would probably make Clayton look more
like Malcolm from Jurassic Park.
>> Ian Malcom: Well, there it is.
>> Crazy Nate: But obviously because or our beloved Bagheera from the Jungle Book, they
decided that would probably be a bad idea.
Speaking of The Jungle Book, ironically Just like in the Jungle Book, we had an elephant
stamped.
But wait a second these elephants are red.
Actually red elephants isn’t really a thing.
>> Tantor: Are you sure?
>> Crazy Nate: But when Disney went on their little research trip they found elephants
would cover theme-selves in red dirt and this is a form of sunscreen for the little guys.
And that is why they look red.
Another Disney movie that snuck it's way into Tarzan was Beauty and the Beast.
In the camp trashing scene (my favorite scene)
we can see Mrs. Potts and Chip
Is this how Chip got his chip?
(Chip laughs)
But there's more from Beauty and the Beast in Tarzan.
>> Beast: You came back?
>> Kerchak: You came back.
>> Disgust: Well, that works.
>> Crazy Nate: It's possible Jane's father could actually be friends with crazy old Maurice.
Because that looks a lot like Maurice's hour glass.
Just like Gaston in Beauty and the Beast, Clayton attacks the hero the same exact way.
And dies the same way.
Well almost.
But instead of hitting the ground Clayton...
Well…
How do I put it nicely…
>> Commander James Norrington: A short drop and a sudden stop.
>> Crazy Nate: Still question the connection to Beauty and the Beast?
Well Glen Keane was the supervising animator for Beauty and the Beast, and for Tarzan.
>> Professor Archimedes Q. Porter: Oh, should I leave you and the blackboard alone for a
moment?
>> Crazy Nate: BEADS!
Blue beads just like the ones Gus collected in Cinderella.
I’m sure by now you've heard about the conspiracy that all the Disney Worlds are connected.
Well part of that puzzle is that Anna and Elsa’s parents from Frozen went on a journey
across the same ocean that Tarzan's parents went on,
and their ship got stuck in a giant storm.
But we never actually saw the ship sink, they just disappeared behind a wave, it's magic.
So people think that Tarzan's parents could possibly be Anna and Elsa’s parents making
Tarzan their brother...
Even though Tarzan's parents eyeballs and Anna and Elsa’s parents eyeballs aren’t
the same color.
Also the real reason why the directors of Frozen didn’t show the ship sinking because
they thought it would bring bad luck to show a sinking ship in a movie.
Chris Buck the Co-director of Tarzan AND Frozen was questioned about this little conspiracy
weather or not it was actually true
and his response was this.
“if you want to tie them all together then do it.
That’s the spirit of Disney.”
Well, there you have it they are related.
And that also means those are Gus’ beads.
Survey time.
So the real question is what do you think?
Vote now, is Tarzan Anna and Elsa’s long lost brother?
Or were they from two totally different ships and they have nothing in relation?
Also a fun little fact is my little brother actually made it in the movie!
Pretty cool huh.
>> Mushu: Make a note of this.
Dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow.
>> Crazy Nate: OK, I don't actually have a little brother.
It’s Mulan’s little brother.
When Porter is being hung upside down by the gorillas Little Brother falls out of one of
his pockets.
A gorilla in a cage, stolen by two guys.
That sounds familiar.
That's because just a few years earlier we saw two guys pushing a stolen gorilla in a
cage through the jungle in George of the Jungle.
>> Professor Porter: Moves like an ape, but looks like a man.
He could be the missing link.
>> Crazy Nate: The missing link...
Confused, was this a secret easter egg from Incredibles?
>> Max: Are you going to let a monkey make a monkey out of you?
>> Thor: What?
>> Ape: Duh...
>> Crazy Nate: On the ship the skipper that captures Jane and locks her in the basement
is a cartoonized version of Tarzan’s supervising animator Glen Keane.
When they are breaking down the camp we see a cameo to the the Directors Chris Buck and
Kevin Lima as some of the evil crew.
But before the Camp gets packed up let's rewind and watch the slide show.
The clock tower is the same one from Peter Pan.
and the castle, is the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, which is what Sleeping Beauty’s
castle was based on.
And that Sphinx…
Aladdin.
>> Jasmin: So far, I can't go back.
>> Crazy Nate: Another thing in the trash the camp song, which is probably my favorite
song from this movie growing up ,
They're busting out the butt bumping dance moves just like an old Disney short In the
Bag.
>> Pumbaa: Ever wonder what those sparkling dots are up there?
>> Crazy Nate: When they are teaching Tarzan how to be human, the Commit they are looking
at is Halley’s commit which you can see every 75 years with the naked eyeball.
>> Pumbaa: Oh, gee, I always thought they were balls of gas burning billions of miles
away.
>> Crazy Nate: Back in the day Disney didn’t know if it would be appropriate if Tarzan
had wine,
>> Tim Hawkins: That's a liquor reference.
Liquor!
He's talking about liquor.
>> Crazy Nate: so they had to get permission from the creators of the original Tarzan,
and it was decided that he can hold the wine glass, but he can’t drink any of it.
That's why he set it down.
Disney also had a debated on weather or not it was appropriate to say the word Butt in
their movie.
>> Elephant: My butt!
>> Crazy Nate: Fast forward to today and Pixar rolls out a video with two cuss words.
>> Elephant: Something on my butt.
>> Crazy Nate: Disney even had a deleted scene of Sabor killing Tarzan's father in the battle
in the beginning, but decided that would be too graphic, so they just showed the scene
of them hiding behind the table, taking a really long nap kids.
In the capture the apes scene blue represented safety, and red represented danger.
Clayton was the danger and he literally brought the red with him bringing the apes out of
safety the blue , then Tarzan came in and restored the safety.
Even when Clayton and Tarzan were fighting, depending on who was wining the fight at the
time determined the color of the scene.
The Jungle was also a character in the movie as well.
When the gorillas are hugging each other good night, the tree is actually hugging them as
well.
You can see the tree is in the shape of the arm.
Then later on in the epic fight when Kerchak dies
spoiler alert.
The jungle then cries over his loss.
If you watch closely though when all the monkeys walk away after Kerchak finally dies, he disappears.
Oops.
Another oops was when Tarzan battled Sabor, watch Sabor scratches him and then seconds
later the scratch is gone.
This is actually a mistake that Disney knew they wern’t including the scratches, because
it would take too long to include these throughout the entire movie.
So they just tried to pretend it magically healed really fast.
Now Tarzan's epic tree sliding skills were inspired by Glen Keane’s son skateboarding
skills.
Also the entire ending of the movie was almost much different than what we actually saw.
They were originally going to have the end fight scene on the ship.
But then they realized if the fight took place on the ship that would give Tarzan a huge
disadvantage of not being able to use the Jungle to his advantage.
Speaking of ships, Does this boat that Clayton is driving look familiar?
Well it should, it’s the same boat they use in Disney’s Jungle Cruise.
There quite a few things that reference to this ride.
Remember the hippos in the water.
Don't worry, they only flap their ears if they are going to attack.
And also a wonderful waterfall.
We can also take pictures of the elephants playing in the water here because they all
have their trunks on.
It's a good thing Tarzan didn't get the wrong end of that Rhino.
If you don't get all these puns, you probably didn't go in the Jungle Cruise ride.
Once you go on the ride you will get my point.
We all know Gaston doesn’t know very much about gun safety, neither does Clayton.
He’s about as smart as a monkey.
But this monkey right here looks down the gun barrel just like a monkey on the Jungle
Cruise ride.
The book that Jane is using to teach Tarzan how to read is a real book from the 1930’s
that they used to teach kids how to read.
My question though is why with having a limited amount of things to bring on this little cruise
would she of brought a book about learning how to read?
Maybe she thought she was gonna teach the monkeys.
Fun little fact, Walt Disney’s favorite President was Abraham Lincoln, and we can
see Abraham Lincoln in the picture frame in the tree house.
>> Flynt: Stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself.
>> Crazy Nate: Being that this movie took place on the same continent that Lion king
took place, naturally we are going to see quite a few references,
Tarzan has a heart to heart with his reflection in the water, just like Simba did.
and eventually see’s his father figure, just like Simba did.
And the only reason they made Tarzan hit the water was to make the similarity of these
two scenes less obvious.
Tarzan also wrestles his best friend as a he's growing up and he also looses those wrestle
matches.
And the bird in the water, is just like the birds in the beginning of Lion King.
Of course the references can’t come full circle, you know the circle of life unless
we end the movie the same way the Lion King ended.
