I wonder if there’s going to be a slippery slope for Disney’s Tarzan reboots?

Other than anniversaries, not many young casual consumers have seen a lot of officially recognised Disney’s Tarzan content in the past five years. Fair enough, the Disney’s Tarzan franchise is recently gaining considerably more attention from web consumers as they know it. If the Terra Mater show + both Sony’s and Disney’s live action Tarzan reboots do flop in both critical and commercial ways, an animated reboot will have to be webcasted on Disney Plus but can still be coproduced by ERB Inc. and Rough Draft, as it may as well become the former’s first fully digitally animated work. 

While the first Disney attempt, consisting of 3 films, a show and a musical, plus a couple of video games and plays, surely got stale pretty fast. Nonetheless, it thankfully didn’t stale so badly as to become sludge like the hundreds of fellow, otherwise wildly different Tarzan plays, video games, shows, comics and films, whatever official or not. The literary books are, increasingly, mainly an in between of these ridiculous extremes. 

A heavily updated Sony Pictures film series centring around Tarzan and his gang of fellow misfits is in the works and will have a high chance of becoming sludge as well. Even if the three Disney’s Tarzan films can and do get a live action-CGI mix reboot, it sadly will still have a higher chance of being filled with so much boring, sludgy badness too. Another Disney’s Tarzan reboot, this time being a cyberpunk anthology animated entirely in 3d CGI, can begin life as a webcomic storyboard instead. 

In almost all European Union nations, some African ones, and a couple of Asian states, many of their consumers are only recently starting to see more newfound Tarzan content coming into the shelves than ever before! Even funnier and more heartwarming is that said overload has long been there, but it only began to creak out on New Years Week 2021. Said New Years Week, seventy years (and about nine to ten months) after Edgar Rice Burroughs passed away, was when all the fully written Tarzan books made by him had to enter the public domain canons of most nations, excluding a few like the USA.
