Oh dear lord the puffing on the pipe at the end. This makes me all kinds of sad.
This might not be too relevant, but have you ever seen the 1997 made-for-TV Disney movie Jungle 2 Jungle staring Tim Allen? This Tom & Jerry got me thinking about the representation of indigenous people in "civilized" society, and in that movie Tim Allen's son has been raised by an unidentified South American tribe and comes to live with him in Manhattan, and shenanigans ensue. And Tim Allen's son is white, but they do spend quite a bit of time in ... the Amazon? I think that's where the kid's from. Anyway I wanted to bring this film to your attention in case you hadn't heard of it yet.
