My Favorite Childhood Movies: Tarzan

     Tarzan is an American film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation. It was also released by Walt Disney Pictures. It's based off of the novel Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Tarzan out-grossed it's predecessors Hercules and Mulan. At the time of it's release, it was the most expensive animated film. It had a production budged of $130 million. Tarzan was the first Disney animated film to open at #1 since Pocahontas. It was also the last major box office hit of the Disney Renaissance.

     All of the songs in Tarzan are wonderful, many of which are sung by Phil Collins. So, picking a favorite song from this movie is a very difficult task. I love every single song in this movie. But, in the end, I chose "Son of Man".

Oh, the power to be strong,
And the wisdom to be wise.
All these things will come to you in time.
On this journey that you're making,
There'll be answers that you'll seek.
And it's you who'll climb the mountain,
It's you who'll reach the peak.

Son of man look to the sky.
Lift your spirit,
Set it free.
Someday you'll walk tall with pride.
Son of man a man in time you'll be.

Though there's no one there to guide you,
No one to take your hand.
But with faith and understanding,
You will journey from boy to man.

Son of man look to the sky.
Lift your spirit,
Set it free.
Someday you'll walk tall with pride.
Son of man a man in time you'll be.

In learning you will teach,
And in teaching you will learn.
You'll find you place beside the ones you love.
Oh, and all the things you dreamed of,
The visions that you saw.
Well, the time is drawing near now,
It's yours to claim it all.

Son of man look to the sky,
Lift your spirit,
Set it free.
Someday you'll walk tall with pride.
Son of man a man in time you'll be.

Son of man,
Son of man's a man for all to see.

Sung by Phil Collins
