Out of most drawn animated Disney films Tarzan catches my interest. I enjoy story wise how his upbringing has an effect on how he is presented in his character design. Despite how I believe he would have more facial hair (would probably not make him as appealing as he is) his body posture resembles that of a Gorilla, since being raised by them makes him want to copy their actions. Plus his mimicking doesn't stop there, his feet are formed naturally with a gap in-between the big toe and little toes (we restrain our feet with shoes) and he uses them like hands. Like a Gorilla does this has made his feet very dexterous. He even mimics other animals by the noises they make to communicate to them as well as the action they do, especially other primates like monkeys whom he copies swinging through the trees. This developed into him not just swinging but sliding around and through the trees making for amazing animation. Every detail down to him reaching out to grab vines with both hand and feet. He is a character I would respect very much, even raised by animals he has a sense of compassion and right from wrong.
