9. Tarzan & Kerchak - Tarzan
In a dramatic climax where Kerchak is killed in a fight with a hunter named Clayton, Tarzan fights to defend the creatures who helped to raise him in the jungle. Throughout the film Kerchak has made no secret of the fact that he does not approve of Tarzan, nor does he approve of his partner Kala raising him as one of their own. There are a few moments when Kerchak looks as though he may relent and give his respect to Tarzan, but the moment doesn't truly come until right before his death, when Tarzan ensures the death of Kerchak's shooter, and in return Kerchak accepts him as one of his own - naming him leader of the gorilla pack. The tug on the heart strings when Tarzan finally earns the respect of the gorilla he thinks of as his leader is on a whole new scale, and the heartbreaking moment is that Tarzan and Kerchak can't spend time on earth in harmony together.
