Description Pencil, pen
June 1999

This is officially the oldest drawing I have uploaded, and probably must remain so, since I'm surprised anything as far back as this looks worth posting to me. But I think this one holds up! So here it is. I loved Tarzan SO much when it came out, and I still really do. Glen Keane's design and animation are nothing short of inspiring. I had to take a few anatomical liberties on this piece due to running out of paper real estate, but I still like how it turned out. The eyes just look right to me. Bravo, Disney, this is one of your greats. (Even with the sometimes silly lyrical escapades of Mr. Phil Collins.)

Yeah, I still quite like the music too, but seriously... sometime REALLY listen to and pay close attention to the lyrics.  Sometimes they are just silly and redundant.  Have you ever seen Mystery Men?  It's like The Sphinx wrote half of them, ha ha.  (It's even more noticeable in the new songs for the Broadway adaptation.)  The music is right for the movie, it's just that some things becoming more apparent on repeated listenings.

Oh nooo, the lyrics in Disney movies are usually quite clever.  Animation lyrics shouldn't be overwhelmingly silly, you wouldn't relate or care much if they were all just silly.  There may be the occasional trope, but it's not like something from the Department of Redundancy Department.  As far as songwriting for story, any lyricist who's worked with Menken could write circles around Phil.
