In the Disney film, the thoats are more bull-like than the books indicated and have horns, but otherwise, they fit the description of their literary counterparts.In the non-canon story Divided Loyalties it is said that thoats have forked tongues.Oil made from a thoat is used as a makeup remover, as in The Gods of Mars when a cloth dipped in thoat oil was used to remove the red pigment from the faces of Therns who had disguised themselves in order to infiltrate Helium and spy on John Carter.

They then became loyal and would follow him around like dogs, seemingly showing that the thoats foul temper was the result of abuse at the hands of the Tharks.īoth the Red and Green men of Barsoom have domesticated Thoats, for the purposes of food and transportation. Through little effort on John Carter's part, he was able to gain the affection and love of the thoats. Ten sequels followed over the next three decades, further extending his vision of Barsoom and. The first Barsoom tale was serialized as Under the Moons of Mars in 1912 and published as a novel as A Princess of Mars in 1917. When John Carter first saw the thoats they appeared as dangerous and vicious as the Green Martians. Barsoom is a fictional representation of the planet Mars created by American pulp fiction author Edgar Rice Burroughs. One of these white thoats is owned by Thuvan Dihn, Jeddak of Ptarth, and was ridden by him when he visited the city of Kaol in The Warlord of Mars. The smaller breed of Thoat is divided into many more breeds, there are riding varieties, and beef varieties (that truth be told vary little in appearance). Two primary species of Thoat are known, the smaller breed (about the size of a horse) which is an exact replica in appearance of the larger far more dangerous variety which stands ten feet at the shoulder.

Thoats are slate in color shading into yellow at the feet, and their bellies are white. I think it goes to the one-thought “brand” concept - DISNEY JOHN CARTER equals ACTION, although in truth I don’t know how the main poster really does even that, its’ so bland.A thoat is a long, sleek creature with eight legs, a broad flat tail (that is less wide at the root than it is at the tip), and a large mouth that splits their head nearly in half. it just misses out on so much of what a poster might evoke. Just showing John Carter walking toward us in silhouette, or John Carter pursued by White Apes ….

Stanton, Chabon and Andrews thought Frazetta’s art was only appropriate for hippies and their vans Andrews dismissed Schoonover’s work as old in his response to the guy who dared to criticize the movie on his blog Chabon loved Gino D’Achille, even though not that many people I know loved his work and I can’t say I’m a fan of his either.
