Jane Porter

**Jane Porter** also known in the book as **Jane Clayton**, **Lady Greystoke** or **Jane Parker** in early cinema is a character from Edgar Rice Burroughs' *Tarzan of the Apes*.

## History

### Biography

Jane Porter was a wealthy English painter 19th century who was the daughter of one Professor Archimedes Q. Porter. In 1882, she travelled to the Congo to study gorillas along with her father and a hunter named Clayton. While in the Congo she was separated from the group by a congress of aggressive baboons.

Jane was narrowly saved by Tarzan, a human, "Ape-Man" who was raised by gorillas. Jane and Tarzan were infatuated with one another with Jane also teaching Tarzan human culture and the English language. When Jane and her father were to return home after not finding any gorillas, Tarzan was manipulated by Clayton into revealing the location of the apes. This turned out to be a trap as Clayton lead a mutiny to capture the gorillas and sell them.

Tarzan managed to free the group and fight Clayton, ending in Clayton's demise. Following the battle, Tarzan was deemed the, "King of the Apes" while Jane and her father were to return to England. Out of love for Tarzan, Jane stayed in the jungle with her father following suit. The three took up residence in a treehouse which had been constructed decades earlier by Tarzan's deceased human parents.

Kejo the Silverback

**Kejo the Silverback** is the official name for a character from the *Jungle Cruise*.

## History

### Biography

Kejo was a silverback gorilla who lived in the Congo basin of Africa during the 1930s. Kejo was part of a troop of gorillas which often raided human camps and colonies. Around 1935/1936, the troop raided the camp of a visiting safari group and stole their supplies. Reporter Thompson J. Gazelle of the Daily Gnus newspaper reported on this, claiming them to be the, "Adventureland Gorilla Theatre Company". Gazelle particularly praised Kejo in what he interpreted to be a performance of William Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Around 1938, the gorillas frequently terrorized the *Jungle Navigation Company*. In one incident, they stole the company's movie projector, indefinitely postponing their movie night. During this time, they also ransacked a JNC campsite along the Congo river, stealing its supplies and flipping over a jeep. A JNC "Jungle Cruise" tour passed by this camp after planning to stop there for a refuel.

On a later incident, Kejo came into the possession of a crate from the US government's top secret *Hangar 51*, containing the powerful biblical artifact *The Ark of the Covenant*. This item was inadvertently left behind by world-famous archaeologist Indiana Jones and later found by the Jungle Navigation Company. Through unknown means, the crate was recovered and delivered back to Hangar 51.

### Development history

Kejo's figure was designed by animator Marc Davis for an update of the Jungle Cruise in 1977/1978. Kejo originally appeared fighting with a crocodile. The audio-animatronic crocodile was removed early on, having possibly only appeared in testing. The crocodile was later replaced by a floating crate of bananas for the gorilla to swat at. Kejo received his name in the *Adventure Trading Company* interactive attraction of 2014, used to play-test for the upcoming *Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge*.

## Appearances

### Adventure Trading Company

There was a photograph of Kejo in the Daily Gnus newspaper. He was mentioned in the attached article, "Is Hamlet much ado about nothing?".

### Jungle Cruise

## Trivia

* Imagineer Chris Runco conceived a seemingly unused update the scene which would have shown the gorilla attempting to fish only for a crocodile to burst out of the water.

Jack Whitehall

**Jack Peter Benedict Whitehall** is an English actor who portrayed MacGregor Houghton in *Jungle Cruise*.

## Trivia

* Whitehall's casting in the film was controversial due to him being a cisgender-heterosexual actor portraying a (camp) gay character; A critique made due to how frequently queer performers are already less likely to receive major roles in film, being amplified by their roles being given to non queer performers and Disney excluding said performers in a character marketed as an act of solidarity with their community.
	+ Disney has repeatedly cast queer actors in their movies before, including Ian McKellen, Luke Evans, Ellen DeGeneres, Ben Whishaw, Billy Eichner, Lena Waithe, John McCrea, Jack Dylan Grazer, Auli'i Cravalho, Glenn Shadix, Jane Lynch, and Nathan Lane, albeit not consistently in openly queer roles nor does it necessarily condone putting a non-marginalized actor within their marginalized roles.
* As a publicity stunt for the Jungle Cruise film, Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt acted as, "Guest-skippers" for the Jungle Cruise with Jack Whitehall feeding them dialogue.

### Points of interest

* **Anak Krakatoa**:
* **Lang Island**:
* **Rakata**:
* **Verlaten Island**:

## History

### Real-world history

Krakatoa erupted on the August 27th of 1883. Pyroclastic flows from the volcano caused red skies to engulf skies around the world and the blast of Krakatoa was so loud that its sonic force travelled around the world four times. It is estimated that over 120,000 people were killed by the eruption with corpses washing up on shores for roughly the entirety of the following year.

## Jungle Cruise appearances

### Trader Sam's

The drink, "Krakatoa Punch" is named for the Krakatoa volcanic eruption. When ordered, a volcano outside of Sam's window erupts. Given the Polynesian settings of the bars, it is unlikely that this volcano is intended to be Krakatoa though cast-members will refer to the volcano as Krakatoa. In *Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar* it is possible that Krakatoa could be seen given the supernatural nature of *Adventureland* however the Polynesian Village of Trader Sam's Grog Grotto has not been identified as part of Adventureland. If the volcano depicted in the window is in-fact Krakatoa, then it would also be depicted in the, "Tropical Snowstorm" drink-effect during the Holiday season where it erupts paranormal blizzards that engulf the bar.

## Trivia

* The, "Tropical Snowstorm" affiliated with Christmas at Trader Sam's parallels the backstory of *Disney's Blizzard Beach*where a rare tropical blizzard struck Florida in the 1990s.
	+ Blizzard Beach is loosely connected to the Jungle Cruise's continuity via its story connections to sister-park *Disney's Typhoon Lagoon*, a water-park connected to the characters of Trader Sam and Captain Mary Oceaneer.

Jake Sully

**Jake Sully** is the protagonist of the film *Avatar*. He is an unseen major character in the backstory of *Pandora: The World of Avatar* at *Disney's Animal Kingdom*. He was portrayed in the film by actor Sam Worthington.

## History

### Biography

Jake Sully and his brother Tom Sully were born in the year 2126. Jake became an officer in the United States Marine Corpse while Tom became a brilliant scientist involved with operations on the exo-moon of Pandora. While fighting in Venezuela, Sully received a spinal-injury which left him as a paraplegic and in-need of a wheelchair. Sully was subsequently left unemployed because of this injury, living off of army benefits.

In the summer of 2148, Tom was killed by a petty-thief before he could travel to Pandora. Because of this, Tom's affiliates in the evil *Resources Development Administration* recruited Jake to assume Tom's position. The reason behind this was that the RDA had created an, "Avatar" for Tom, a host body which was a genetic-hybrid of human and the Pandoran Na'vi to have his sentience placed in while on the moon. Because Tom and Jake were identical twins, the RDA could repurpose the Avatar for Jake's body.

Jake arrived on Pandora after five years, nine months and 22 days of cryo-sleep space-travel. On the moon, he worked under xenobiologist Dr. Grace Augustine who disdained the RDA for their crimes. While separated on a mission and attacked by viperwolves, Sully was saved by Neytiri te Tskaha Mo'at’ite, the princess of the Na'vi Omaticaya Clan who recognized the planet's goddess Eywa making a connection with Sully. Because of this, the Omaticaya took in Sully's Avatar body to teach about their ways and culture.

During his time with the clan, Sully realized the evils of the RDA and defected from them. When the RDA attempted to destroy the Omaticaya's home of the sacred *Tree of Souls*, Sully bonded with the sacred banshee, "The Great Leonopteryx" and lead the attack against the RDA. Following the Na'vi victory, the Na'vi used their powers to permanently place Sully's mind in his Avatar body and made him their Olo'eyktan (clan leader) following the death of the previous leader at the hands of the RDA.

## Jungle Cruise connections

### Pandora: The World of Avatar

Under Jake Sully's leadership, the Omaticaya clan joins forces with the Pandora Conservation Initiative, Wilderness Explorers and Alpha Centauri Expeditions in the Valley of Mo'ara. Members of Sully's clan appear throughout the area such as the Shaman of Songs, Txopu and Valke.

* Sully is similar to Indiana Jones from *Raiders of the Lost Ark* (1981) in that they are both film protagonists featured in the backstories of *Jungle Cruise* attractions that are unseen in the actual attractions and who were not owned by Disney during their time of integration but were later obtained.

Jack

**Jack** is a character from the *Jungle Cruise*.

## History

### Biography

Jack was a skipper for the *Jungle Navigation Company* around the mid 1930s where he was pilot of the Mekong Maiden. Jack was piloting the boat when it was attacked by hippos in the Hippo Pool near the African veldt, causing him to lose a shipment of Earl Grey tea. Because of losing this shipment, Jack became contacted by JNC client Sir Reginald to negotiate a shipment of Earl Grey tea, quinine, mosquito netting and piano wire.

Upon making his return to the boathouse, Jack arranged to play a game of rummy with another JNC employee. Around 1936, the Mekong Maiden mysteriously disappeared along with the *Magdalena Maiden*. Due to how close the disappearance was to Jack's adventures along the African veldt, it is likely (though not known for sure) that Jack never made it back to base and was the skipper who was piloting the Mekong Maiden at the time.

### Development history

Radio transmissions from Jack played in the queue before being removed in 2021 for transmissions connected to the new storyline. He was identified as skipper of the Mekong Maiden, a boat which was removed from Disneyland's Jungle Cruise before being made the subject of an in-universe mystery.

## Appearances

### Jungle Cruise

Removed transmissions in the queue played Jack's different conversations.

## Trivia

* If Jack was piloting the Mekong Maiden when it disappeared, this would mean he was in possession of the Adventureland map created by Frank Wolff and modified by Alberta Falls.
* Sir Reginald frequently referred to Jack as, "**Colonel**", possibly implying a military history though it may have also just been a friendly term of address used by the knight.
