Here's the lovely couple now. Jane is sketching the ape man, while he seems to be concentrating on how wonderful he thinks Jane is. The big sketchbook in the center of the picture draws the sketches sort of like an Etch A Sketch does.
A close up of Jane. She looks very much like the cartoon character she is. The Imaginears weren't going for realism on this attraction.
Freeze! Tarzan's figure looks pretty good. Nice detail in the feet and upper torso.

The next room in the treehouse shows Kala as she begins taking care of Tarzan. I would have like it if there was some kind of movement to the figures, but I suppose that static scene gives us a freeze frame of the life of the characters.
Outside, in the trees, we hear baby Tarzan. His famous yell calls from the cradle.
Another book explaining the scene.
We see that they're watching TV. Actually, there's a couple of these screens in the attraction. They show drawings of the characters. That's where the motion is.
Although Disneyland is famous for their impressive attractions that take guests to other worlds using state of the art technology, some simpler attractions feel more like wax museum displays than thrill rides. Tarzan's Treehouse, for example, is a pleasant walk though attraction that offers guests a glimpse into the world of Edgar Rice Burrough's famous character. Each room in the house shows a loose recreation of a scene from the movie. The characters are more fiberglass than wax, but they do offer the same feel and atmosphere that one could find in a wax museum.
This book, as well as others, move the story along as guests walk through the treehouse.
Sabor not only scares visitors with his razor sharp teeth, but when people peek inside the room, he releases a loud roar. This effect always startles the young and old alike.
