Disney secret: Tarzan and the Beast

[Jontarzanbeast]

Have you guys ever seen this? There is an obvious parallel between the endings of Tarzan and Beauty and the Beast. What do you think the meaning behind it is? I put together this youtube video comparing the two endings.

It's common for Disney to kill off their main villains by having the villains die by accident or accidentally kill themselves. It would be questionable morals for kids to show the main characters ganging up to kill the villain themselves.

Pretty cool. Well done!

This. While we adults might enjoy seeing Rapunzel take charge and blow Mother Gothel away, it's "nicer" to have Pascal trip her. In Princess & the Frog, Facilier gets done in by his "friends on the other side". In Aladdin, Jafar is tricked into imprisoning himself. In Lion King, Scar is killed by the hyenas. In Home on the Range... well, someone else will have to do that one.

You saw more parallels than this, right?

That was great. Good eye.

The fact that film ever existed was the true villain; the true evil.

I'm not sure I agree that it'd be morally questionable in either of these situations, but it seems to soften the blow a bit. Allowing your heroes to avoid difficult decisions is a (reasonable) trope in family movies

The fact that film ever existed was the true villain; the true evil.

The really frustrating thing about Home on the Range is that so much of it had potential. You can really see the excellent craftsmanship on some of the animation, and Menken wrote some great songs for it (and some mediocre ones, to be fair), and as far as sassy animal sidekicks go, the rabbit with a peg leg is among the least objctionable of the last two decades. But whoever gave a green light to a pitch about Roseanne Barr as an uncouth cow who saves her friends and her farm from an evil cattle rustler was crazy.

Though the few times it has happened, it worked pretty well. Take Mulan & Mushu for instance, and how they ganged up on Shan-Yu during the final climactic battle. One pins his cape to the roof with a sword, while the other launches a rocket into his abdomen...blowing him to kingdom come.

Then you have Prince Phillip who takes his sword (after the 3 good fairies put a death spell on it), and hurls it straight into Maleficent's heart.

Prince Eric sails a ship right (literally) into Ursula, killing her with the pointed helm.

And then there's always Simba who kicks his Uncle Scar off a cliff into a pack of hungry/angry hyena's. Though that move could also be looked at as self defense rather than an all-out Chuck Norris assault. The world may never know.
