Terk - Rosie O'Donnell
Rosie O'Donnell, one of the most popular television talk show hosts (The Rosie O'Donnell Show), brings Terk, Tarzan's playful prankster and loyal gorilla friend, to life. When she read the script she was thrilled with the touching story about family and adoption, and loved Terk's tough yet heart-warming character. Being a life-long fan of Disney's animation, it didn't take too much to talk her into accepting the part. "I'm thrilled! It's great fun to finally be in one," she said.
Rosie insisted that she have a song to sing. Luckily Phil Collins had already written, Trashin' the Camp, which is made for Rosie's character. "I love the Disney musical legacy and really wanted to be a part of it," recalls Rosie. "Recording with Phil was fun and a bit overwhelming. After the first take, Phil said, 'Alright Rosie, it's very nice but it's a bit under and we've got to get it in pocket.' I said, 'Okay, sure' but I didn't have a clue what he meant. Where's the pocket? It was like a foreign language to me. I just kept saying "yes", and doing it over and over again for about 45 takes."
