Her Good Ranking[]
Debated Validations[]
- While making the baby baboon cry may have not been a good idea, she was only trying to get the book back. However, this motive may be debated whether making the baboon cry may be for a noble or a bad reason.
Her Heroic Deeds[]
- While staying true to her standards, she started to become accustomed to experience the life of a jungle.
- While she did have Clayton as a guide, she became respectful to the animal kingdom.
- She explained to Archimedes and Clayton about the time of her being rescued by Tarzan.
- She successfully taught Tarzan how to learn about human culture and how to speak like a person.
- She forgave Tarzan about Clayton's betrayal.
- During the battle between Clayton and his Thugs, Jane released Kala out of her cage while fending away Clayton's Thugs.
- She and Archimedes feel sad about the death of Kerchek.
Why She Doesn't Stand Out?[]
- She fails the admirable standards to Tarzan and Tantor (who also fails the in-story standards) because her heroism counts as supportive heroism, meaning her good deed in saving the gorillas is shared with Tarzan or it is done under his orders.
- She gets herself into some predicament from time to time, due to her arrogance and teasing with the baby baboon that caused Tarzan's family to misunderstand that she's harming the baboon.
Trivia[]
- She is the only leading female of the Disney Renaissance to be Heroic Benchmark.
