Mrs. Potts in Tarzan
Disney movies are such a solid part of American culture that it is possible to notice the references nearly immediately. Who doesn’t love that warm, maternal, welcoming pot of tea, Mrs. Potts, in Beauty and the Beast? Don’t you just kind of want to curl up and tell her all your problems while sipping a hot cup of tea from Chip?
Well, this beloved character has made her way steaming and brewing into other movies. Look closely in Tarzan and you’ll notice that Jane’s tea set is eerily familiar. Sadly, Mrs. Potts doesn’t sing in Tarzan, though maybe we could all demand an encore?
