Current Events > I have a hard time with stories of anthropomorphized animals

(+) Yeah! (+)

Was watching Disneys Tarzan (2nd best film of the Disney renaissance dont @me bro) and I kept thinking these go-ri-las are clearly human intelligent and from all perspectives, the jaguar gorilla muncher is not. They also have similar bodily functions to humans: Why dont they just make some sort of house/village equivqlence to protect themselves? Obviously mortar isnt available in location or technology. But they surely can put up walls and barricades and roofs and shit not only for protection but also just to improve their QoL. They dont because theyre dum animals. But theyre not.

This is highly illogical.

You're going to find illogical things in any fantasy story. Kinda why it's fantasy.

While this can be an annoying trope at times, you picked quite possibly the worst example to make your case, since Tarzan's whole schtick is that he was raised by apes and therefore would be able to communicate with them. Jane and her father don't hear the apes speaking the Queen's English, do they? (honest question, I only watched it once over twenty years ago).

Theyre based off of characters that weren't quite rl gorillas in the original novels. They were a fictional gorilla race called Mangani who differentiated themselves from other gorillas and used the same term "Mangani" to refer yo humans
