Tarzan (1999)

Question: Does this movie take place in the Victorian or Edwardian period?

Answer: It starts out in the late 1890s when Tarzan is an infant and would be in the Victorian era, though the main story shifts forward about 15-20 years. Queen Victoria died in 1901. King Edward reigned from 1901 to 1910. It would probably have been just after the Edwardian era and the early years of George V's reign.

Question: After Sabor the leopard jumps on the net to kill baby Tarzan, it instead launches him up to Kala, who catches him by the diaper. Why does Kala move Tarzan up and down several times?

Answer: Kala, who was on the floor above the netting, was attempting to pull baby Tarzan up through the space around the pole, but it was too small for an infant to fit through. Kala instead pulled Tarzan by his diaper along the slit between the boards to the end of the floor where she could then reach over and pick him up.

Question: What could Tarzan's loin cloth possibly be made from? It doesn't look like anything that could be found in the jungle that isn't human made.

Chosen answer: It could be any number of things, including some man-made material that was left by hunters or explorers. It could also be animal skin, either from some beast that was hunted or a found carcass.
