I enjoyed this movie, but it was never one of my Top Picks when I was younger. As an adult now my reaction really hasn't changed: It's good, but not GREAT. Same with the soundtrack. It's not bad, but I never "connected" with all of the memes from people that it blew away. I've read several of the original "Tarzan" stories, and those are WILD. They quickly go beyond jungle adventures to political thriller, action stories, and even what I would term sci-fi (With finding MULTIPLE "lost civilizations" and Atlantis). They're regarded very much as low-brow adventures. They're also incredibly racist. I know we say "everything from a hundred years ago is gonna be racist somehow", but the books were REALLY racist (African cannibals, Englishmen are naturally superior due to their aristocratic breeding, etc.). In the books, Clayton is actually Tarzan's COUSIN (His father's nephew) who inherited their noble title and money after the family was 'lost at sea'. He's less of an outright villain, functioning more as a romantic rival for Jane who doesn't realize that Tarzan is the rightful heir to the position. He dies relatively early in the adventures (I think the second book?) and then Tarzan & Jane get together.

I never would've expected this reaction at the end from Oak only because.... .. in the politest way I can, and I really don't mean it in an offensive way.... Who the heck cares about the original novel's plot lol. Very little people 40 and down even remember anything about them... (and I say this as a total book nerd that owns original copies of the book). It's like watching a movie called Frankenstein and then comparing it to the original novel and asking why things changed. Or like watching Moby Dick and asking about changes... These are novels and stories from a century ago... But I CAN give you a really good reason as to why it happened Oak. And once I tell you why, you're gonna go, "oh... ... I understand why now." And that reason is that Tarzan IP is owned by one of the strictest most finicky trust (by the authors descendants) members. Like they sue the heck out of everyone for small mentions. Disney is actually very controlled in where they can even use the Tarzan they created, like games and attractions, anything. So they'd naturally not want to have a sequel, tv show, dvds and everything with characters they can barely use or syndicate. Fastest they could they got rid of any references for their own original characters. So they wanted a show with Tarzan & Jane, the two friends he has (elephant & ape) for covers as leaders of the village, then generic gorillas behind them. So that the family that owns the IP couldn't have so much control over it.
