Even if it wasn't a production overseen by Disney we'd have the 'they wear to much' issue since it is meant for prudish American audiences and they probably wanted to avoid a R to NC-17. And they may have not been able to get much more tint to the human skin, hence the more muted skin colors. So they get the benefit of the doubt till I actually see it.Carter fights several of the White Apes in Princess of Mars while living among the Tharks. They inhabited one or more of the empty towers in the ruins that the Green Martians used as their temporary homes.
On the way out of TinTin I saw a cardboard promo standup that had Carter facing two large white hairy things. It bugged me then that my recollection of the books was disindexed enough that I couldn't ID them on sight. But I think they were either the White Apes from near the S. Pole (appear sometime in books 3-4, I think?) or maybe someone went really bonzo on the Green's riding thoats. Can anyone confirm or deny which?
Also, I am aware that I'm totally nitpicking. It's nothing big and it will definitely not prevent me from watching the film. It will be awesome and I will be thrilled by it.
