* "Son of Man" was just awesome! Tarzan growing up, becoming a man, swinging from vines and surfing down trees!
** Hell, the tree surfing in ''general.'' I wish I could do that!

trees! He even climbs a freakin' waterfall!

** To Kerchak's credit though, it took ten seconds of her glare before he relucantly gave in.
* In the ''Son of Man'' montage, Tarzan climbs a freakin' waterfall!
* On a meta level, the movie is a Crowning Moment of Awesome for Disney's animators, who were working with arguably their most complex character yet (Tarzan, who was drawn with total anatomical accuracy) and definitely their most complex scenery yet. The result? An incredibly fluid kinetic experience that's virtually flawless, featuring high speed movement where every single muscle stretched and flexes as it should and perfectly in sync with CGI backgrounds that look like paintings in motion.
* Tarzan vs. Kerchak. To clarify, Kerchak is a silverback gorilla, well capable of tearing a human being in half with about as much effort as one uses to breathe. He is furthermore, at the moment, supremely pissed off. What does Tarzan do? HE PUTS KERCHAK IN A HEADLOCK AND WRESTLES HIM INTO SUBMISSION. I'll say that again: Tarzan (Human) beats Kerchak (angry Silverback Gorilla).

** It's also where Tarzan stops trying to be ''exactly'' like the other gorillas, which he very clearly isn't, and starts thinking and acting more like a human -- making weapons, swimming, fighting with wits and agility as opposed to brute strength, using his natural human agility to swing, tree surf and do parkour. He finally starts to get familiar with the second half of "ape-''man''."

** Going on from that, there's the sheer fact that Jane can keep up the vine surfing and the swinging with Tarzan; he's been doing this for most of his life, while she's been a sheltered Victorian girl for most of hers.

* Tarzan's nameless parents? After being shipwrecked and washed up on a jungle island with their infant son, they decide to not moan or bitch about it and instead make a tree house that we all wish we could have built as kids. The kicker, the mother for a woman of that time actually helping the father with the heavy lifting instead of just doing the 'woman's' work. Keep in mind that all of this is taking place [[StayInTheKitchen ''in the nineteenth century'' ]].
