The song "You'll be in my Heart" was featured in what Disney Animated Film?
In the world of cinema, the period from the late 1980s through the 90s has become known as the Disney Renaissance. After Walt Disney's death in 1966, audiences saw a noticeable decline in the quality of their famous animated films. This would change with the release of "The Little Mermaid" in 1989, which was met with widespread acclaim by both critics and audiences. The trend of hit movies would continue for the next decade, concluding with "Tarzan" in 1999.
Based on the 1912 novel "Tarzan of the Apes," this Disney adaptation follows Tarzan from being a stranded newborn in the jungle to his adoption into a troop of gorillas to his adulthood, where he meets fellow human Jane and Clayton.
The music for the film was written by Phil Collins, whose song would serve as a form of background narration for the characters. The most famous of these songs is "You'll Be In My Heart," which appeared early in the film when the gorilla Kala adopts the orphaned Tarzan whose parents had been killed by the leopard Sabor.
Collins wrote the song with his ten-year-old daughter in mind. The lyrics are told from the perspective of a parent expressing their eternal love for their child in spite of any disapproval from the surrounding society. In the context of the film, this refers to Kala's love for the human Tarzan in the face of the rejection from her fellow gorillas, particularly the troop's leader, Kerchak.
The song would become a hit and would win the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
