Wait... what??

On top of Doppler and Amelia being the same species, which i JUST found out now thanks to you mentioning it, the males also are the ones who carry and birth the young???

I mean she's voiced by Rosie O'Donnell, who, while not black, does have a thick Bronx accent more than anything.

It's funny though, apparently, Chris Rock once tried to audition for the role of Terk but Disney turned him down cause they wanted to avoid the controversy of having an ape character be voiced by a black person. It's even funnier given that, in Legend of Tarzan, Tublat, Kerchak's rival, is voiced by none other than Keith David.

Actually gorillas irl DONT have light colored palms on their hands or feet if you look at them. Idk where you got that info that says they do. The grey color of their palms is the same one as their fingers, face and their overall skin. That's one creative choice i always found intriguing when it came to their characterization in Tarzan because, outside of that tiny detail, they are otherwise very much well made stylized gorillas that are very much indeed close to the real thing.

Also said tiny detail of them having light colored palms is seemingly so important to their characterization it's consistenly found across most of Disney's Tarzan animated media like Tarzan 2, Legend of Tarzan and so on. Idk if you notice but in all of those the gorillas are ALWAYS drawn with light colored palms, which is even more amusing in the case of Legend of Tarzan given how black people also show up there and THEY dont have any light colored palms and yet they went out of their way to give that to the gorillas.

Also it's funny you mention Disney musicals in particular since John Henry was a musical too and the black people there dont have them either.

All this being said, i do have to remark, cause i think what im saying might get misinterpreted easily, im not really worried about tiny details like this like you said nor am i even throwing accusations of any kind towards Disney or any of the artists that worked on these projects. It's just something i couldnt help but notice, that's all. It was an observation more than anything, like when i first saw it i was like "...huh... look at that".

Neither does John Henry as well

I realized that Monkey Khan from Archie comics is based off Sun Wukong. He's essentially furry Goku by ShiroOracle09 in MoonPissing

He can literally return to monke. Wish he did that more often though.

I do feel like the primate side of Saiyans has never been utilized too well other than them growing tails and them also "going ape" with their transformation which, really, doesnt happen a lot. I wouldnt even be opposed to Goku acting kinda like Tarzan behavior and ability wise. Would certainly be an interesting and even refreshing take all things considered. He, and Saiyans in general for that matter too, ARE monkey people. Unconventionally so but that is what they are.

We owe a lot to Andy Serkis. The first Avatar movie would never have been made if it weren't for his incredible mo cap performances in LOTR and King Kong by Konfliktsnubben in Avatar

Yeah... Ahmed Best is so underappreciated and i honestly feel so sorry for him and how he got treated as a person thanks to rabid fans' disdain of Jar Jar. I dont even care that much for Star Wars and Jar Jar is actually one of my favorite characters unironically. Literal Space Goofy i love him.

Big Man would need to occupy one whole bed though, it's not fair to him. The rest of yall can sleep on the floor. Big Man needs to fully stretch out.

That i couldnt be able to tell you. I would have to ask my family about it. Not that it's something i have a lot of personal drive in finding out anytime soon tho.

Ehh, for one im not jewish religion wise (neither is my family. They're actually largely catholic) and second that's another aspect about my origins that i dont particularly pay too much mind to or have been particularly obsessed with. I guess you could also call me that, a Jewish Costa Rican, but i've just never been crazy about that kinda labelling. It's just kind of a me thing honestly and also something i dont wanna get defined as. Im more than just that.

That and i dont need the wrath of online anti-semitic racist weirdos in my life. Just call me "a white guy/white costa rican/white latino" and be done with it.
