Tazara

Tazara" is a visual development project for a class called First Flight under the instruction of Disney artist Chris Oatley. The story is about a girl named Tazara who becomes lost during an expedition with her family. Tazara, once a spoiled child, learns survival skills and a hidden talent of basket weaving. She creates pods for a tree house that is perched in a Jacob tree in the Savannas. Her friends become a tribe of giraffes who help her through many periling escapes. When one day a prince comes to teach Tazara (now wild) how to live in civilization. But will she stay or will she go back to her homeland? If you haven't guessed it already, this is like Tazarn but with the roles switched.
