To me, Disney's Tarzan isn't just any movie. It's a masterpiece, a cornerstone of my love for the magic of Disney!! It's also the last movie to be released during the Disney Renaissance. Despite the heartfelt storytelling, unforgettable characters, and beautiful soundtrack, the movie left out a couple of things unexplained such as:

1. The movie never revealed who Tarzan's parents were, what his real name is, and where he came from. According to the original novels, his parents are John and Alice Clayton from Greystoke making him John Clayton the III and the heir. In fact, this part has been left out in most of the film adaptations!

2. Tarzan never went to civilization although he almost did. In the original novel, he went back to go after Jane and to find his place in the world.

3. Clayton, the villain of the story, is another thing that left me puzzled. In the original novels, he's Tarzan/John's cousin William Cecil Clayton who temporarily acquired the title Greystoke. But in the movie, he was a very devious and cunning man who wanted to capture and take away the gorillas for profit. Not only that, but they never revealed his first name. He was referred to as "Mr Clayton" or just "Clayton."

4. They never showed Tarzan and Jane having children. In the original novels, they have a son named Jack AKA Korak. He even falls in love with and gets married to a girl named Meriem/Jeanne. Also, in a few of the most recent Tarzan ERB novels, they mentioned that they had a daughter named Charlotte but not much is known about her yet. 

There have been a couple of follow ups to the original movie. They are "The Legend of Tarzan," (TV series), "Tarzan and Jane" (movie) "Tarzan Untamed" (video game) and "Tarzan ll." Unfortunately none of them covered the details that were left out of the original movie especially "Tarzan ll" which wasn't even a sequel but a midquel!! Since Disney can't do any more continuations for the animated franchise, I really think they should give the  beloved movie the live action treatment. I believe it has so much potential! This could be their chance to cover anything that was left out of the original animated classic!!

Unfortunately, as of now, rumors and speculations are circulating that Disney might have lost the rights to Tarzan. Not only that but Sony recently confirmed that they're developing their own modern take on the legendary classic story. To me, and I am sure to many other Disney fans, it's crucial that the reimagining of Tarzan comes from the house of mouse itself. That is why I believe Disney needs to seize this opportunity and produce a live-action remake, one that would allow for a comprehensive exploration of Tarzan's narrative. 

Furthermore, Disney's recent success with live-action remakes of animated classics shows that there is a vast audience looking for these new spins on adored tales. Beauty and the Beast grossed over a billion dollars globally, and Aladdin exceeded all box office expectations (Source: Box Office Mojo). It's clear that a live-action Tarzan, carried by the masterful storytelling that only Disney can provide, could not only succeed in satisfying the fans of the original animated film but also in harnessing a new audience who can cherish it in a completely new way.

Join me in urging Disney to try to reclaim the rights and create a live-action Tarzan that truly expands the original's storyline. So let's stand together, because every voice counts, every signature matters to convince Disney to make this dream a reality. The movie deserves and needs the live action treatment very much!!!
