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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
