You know what my problem is? I have indecisive-itis. I like to write a lot, but I'll get an idea for a short story, and be so excited about its awesomeness, but then a day or two later, I'll say to myself, 'Gee, that was a stupid idea and would be hard to write. I'll use this awesome idea instead!' And then the whole process would repeat itself.
You know whose fault this is?
Disney.
I'll have this great idea, and then Wham! I'll watch Tarzan and realize how much more awesome the movie Tarzan is than my story idea. Then I shall be all enthralled with Tarzan for a week, and then move on to my next idea, which will quickly be destroyed by Pocahontas.
It's because I'm obsessive by nature. I'll see something and be entranced by it, and walk around in a stupor for a long time, feeding off its awesome. That is what happened with the Haunted Mansion.
And other cool things, which I won't get into now.
So now, I am really into Tarzan. It is my favorite Disney movie. I love the story, and the music, and the way it looks, all jungle-y, and Jane is quite possibly the coolest person ever, and I love how she is totally not suited for jumping around in the jungle at the beginning, but she still tries. Also, Terk and Tantor are incredible characters. I love them. And I love the baby monkey who steals Jane's drawings. The only things I dislike about Tarzan are: 1. That was right when Disney started getting into using computer animation to simplify their lives, and so it isn't very realistic and polished where they used that technique, and 2. Most of the music isn't sung by the characters, so it would be difficult to adapt into a stage musical for Broadway.
And neither of those things actually prevent you from enjoying the movie immensely, and they aren't crucial issues. It just saddens me that I will never play Jane in a stage musical of Disney's Tarzan on Broadway, because that would quite possibly be the greatest thing ever.
Jane and Meg, from Hercules, both get the short end of the stick. They both totally qualify as Disney princesses, but they aren't recognized as them because they're female characters from Hero-oriented movies. All of the Disney princesses are from Heroine-oriented movies. So, Jane and Meg don't get to be princesses, just like the Beast doesn't get to be a Hero, because he's from a princess movie. Such a shame.
So, in conclusion, I can't finish things, and it's all Tarzan's fault.He gets blamed for not sharing the limelight with his significant other, who is awesome.
*Update: Haha, turns out there is a Broadway adaption of Tarzan....It's not running anymore, though, so my chances of playing Jane are still slim to none.
