If you think about it, a lot of the Disney movies are based on a Romeo and Juliet theme; There are three really good movies that stick out in my mind. First, think of Malan, she is just a girl who wants to serve in the army to “defeat the Huns” so her grandfather doesn’t have to. She ends up falling in love with a leader in the arm but they can’t be together because she lied pretending she was a man. Next think about Pocahontas, there’s nobody her dad hates more than the white people, because they came over and are ruining their land. The white people really don’t like the Indian chief because he’s causing trouble. They fell in love with the worst possible matches, Pocahontas’s dad even try’s to kill him he hates him so much. My last example is Tarzan, Tarzan and Jane are totally opposite, him practically a gorilla and her a proper smart girl, and yet (similarly to Romeo and Juliet) they just happen to fall in love with an extremely inconvenient person. Also there is Cleighton in Tarzan who is similar to Paris in Romeo and Juliet because they both are trying to marry the girls.
