6 Reasons Why Tarzan Will Forever Be The Greatest Disney Movie

The crush I had on Tarzan when I first saw him at age four has yet to go away. When "Tarzan" was first released in theaters, I went on my first father-daughter date to see the movie. I was carried out of the theater in tears.To this day, I am unsure if it was because I was madly in love with Tarzan and he chose Jane over me, or if it was because I was going home with my dad instead of a family of gorillas.

"Tarzan" may not have received the recognition it deserved in the past, but it will forever be the greatest Disney animated movie. Here are six reasons why.

1. Tarzan is hot AF and beats out any prince charming.

Does Prince Eric get to walk around in his underwear and be shirtless all day long? I don’t think so.Tarzan is super manly and kills it swinging from those tree vines. He also has a rockin’ bod. Have you seen those abs? Plus, he is so romantic. I am still waiting for my Tarzan to sit in a tree with me and gaze into my eyes.

2. Phil Collins killed the soundtrack game.

Do you still listen to the “Cinderella” soundtrack while driving around with the windows down? I didn’t think so. Let’s talk about “You’ll Be In My Heart” and “Stranger Like Me.” You definitely know the words to these songs without even realize it. No shame in saying that I am listening to the soundtrack right now. Who am I kidding? I’ve been singing these songs since I was three.

3. The plot has a hidden meaning about the importance of education.

When you look into the deeper meaning of the plot, you see that Jane shows Tarzan how important education is. Jane traveled and explored the world to learn not only more about the wild, but about civilization as well. Yes, there is the message of love, family and never forgetting where you came from, but without education and exploration, Tarzan and Jane would not have ended up together.

4. The movie explains the importance of never forgetting where you came from.

Tarzan will forever be a vine-swinging, uncivilized human being. However, in the end when he falls for Jane and realizes they are from the same species (shocker, right), he remembers that Kala and his gorilla family raised him. He may be a man now, but he will always have part of the wild in him. As we change throughout our lifetime and achieve our goals, it is always important to remember where we came from.

5. The movie quotes just speak to the heart.

Put your faith in what you most believe in.
Trust your heart, let faith decide.
The dream is gone, but then there is hope.

Not only are these quotes Twitter-worthy, but they really do speak to the heart and are super meaningful. They also would make a great Insta caption (just saying).

6. The characters are relatable and fun.

There is a character who is relatable for everyone. Whether you are the gorgeous, brilliant Jane, or the neurotic Tantor always worrying about something, the characters make the film that much better.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
