Have any of the rest of you heard about this? ORWEN: It'll be all right, Orddu. Tarzan's a big boy and will recover, I'm sure. ORDDU: According to the story we read, the accident happened just about the same time Jane made her first appearance. Tarzan was grabbing on to a couple of the ropes he uses to swing on--to make a circle around her--when he either lost his grip or else the ropes, themselves, came loose--causing him to crash into 3 of the singers on stage. ORWEN: The witness to all this claims that Tarzan, at first, got up and started to try and recover from the fall--when his facial expressions seemed to indicate that he was in too much pain to continue the show--so ran quickly off stage. ORDDU: (sniff) From there, the rest of the cast became confused about how to proceed. Thus the curtains came together rather quickly--followed by an announcement that the show had been cancelled, due to unforseen circumstances. ORWEN: Were any of you ducklings witness to the cancelled performance? We don't know exactly when this took place--other than that it was during a noon time performance. ORDDU: In the meantime, I think I should offer myself up as Tarzan's personal nurse. My bedside care can't be beat! Even JANE can't hold a candle next to my kind of nursing! ORGOCH: An' it's a good thing--'cause ya'd both go up in smoke, considerin' the gas bag she'd be standin' next ta!

Originally Posted By trailsend Oh my. I've often wondered what if this ever happened. And I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope you can give us an update on Tarzan; hoping he is ok. Maybe just shook up. BTW ~ ORDU ~ I really can't think of a better nurse, being as you have all these bedside manner "talents". But, if you should get this job, will you return him when he's recuperated? I mean, you can't keep him forever, you know.

She had some sort of block installed that prevents our crystal ball from conjuring up any more information about any of this!!! (More than likely she struck up some sort of devil's bargain with the White Witch from Narnia.) We can tell you that the orignal story came from the MiceChat web-footed site that's connected with MiceAge. It was in the Walt Disney World section, naturally. The original duckling--over there--who witnessed the whole thing gives the details, which we have tried to duplicate here. (sigh) Unfortunately, we don't know the current condition of our dear Tarzan...
Originally Posted By Witches of Morva ORDDU: Well...yes, TDLFAN, it did. Unfortunately, our favorite hunk was still wearing it at the time. Too, we have learned that--when poor Tarzan fell--he landed on his back and ended up suffering from cracked ribs. ORWEN: According to an update on the MiceChat web-footed site, there were all kinds of rumors floating around about what might have happened to Tarzan. Fortunately, he did NOT break his legs or his back. Of course, cracked ribs aren't anything to smile about, either. ORGOCH: Least ways the shows been goin' on. ORDDU: Yes, but we're hearing that--as a result of this accident--all the ariel stunts that used to grace this show have been discontinued. As a matter of fact, we're hearing that The Festival of the Lion King Show has even been affected by a decision to cease ariel stunts there, as well. If any of you ducklings out there have managed to see a recent performance of either of these stage shows, perhaps you might tell us what differences you saw. ORWEN: For instance, the 'human birds' are reported to be 'grounded' at the moment--along with the tumble monkeys in certain routines.

Originally Posted By gaston lives See, here's the issue. The idiot that plays Tarzan should have at least two twinkies a day so he'd have some cushioning for his ribs. 3% bodyfat does not help when landing on a hard surface...
Originally Posted By FerretAfros When I had an awards ceremony there, there was a big black curtain over the entire stage, with the contest logo projected onto it. Just before the show started, they opened the curtain. I don't know if they use it regularly, but I would bet that was the one that they closed.

The energy, the music, all brings tears to my eyes. I love that show and see it everyday on my screensavers, both office and home along with the other disney pics we have>1000's
