Hercules Storyline
After Zeus fights and sends the Titans to the underworld, he becomes the ruler of Mount Olympus, home of all greek gods. Hades is sent to rule the underworld, but he makes plans to throw Zeus out of Mount Olympus with the Titans’ help. The three Fates warn him that his plans would be endangered if Hercules, Zeus newborn child, is still around by the time he tries to take over Mount Olympus. Hades sends Pain and Panic to turn Hercules into a mortal and kill him, but they fail in their attempt and leave him on earth with his divine strength to be raised as a human. Hercules grows up but later learns he is the son of gods, and in order to return to Mt. Olympus he must turn into a “true hero”. He is trained by Phil the satyr and becomes the most famous hero in ancient Greece after battling monsters of all kinds. He even saves Mt. Olympus from Hade’s take-over, but he only becomes a god again after he offers to exchange his life in order to save Meg, his love, from Hades’ underworld and shows that a true hero must have a strong heart and not only physical strength.

Hercules Movie Reviews
It all depends on your perspective,…
Whether or not you like this movie really depends on your perspective. For the casual viewer, it’s an entertaining film, though few would place it among Disney’s best. For obsessive history teachers like myself, the film is so problematic that enjoying the film is next to impossible, as the film bears very little similarity to the Hercules myths. In fact, when the film debuted, I remember hearing about protests in Greece because many felt that Disney’s “fast and loose” attitude towards the source material was cultural offensive. I can understand and appreciate this, though frankly, sometimes I wish I weren’t as well-versed with history and could just turn off my brain and enjoy the film from a completely mindless perspective. Sorry, but if historical accuracy means anything stay away,…but at least the films are better than the Steve Reeves films or the god-awful Trans-lux cartoons of the 1960s!
Enjoyable, but not Disney’s best!
First of all, there are a lot of things I like about this movie. The animation, in general, is very nice to look at, and Charlton Heston’s narration is very satisfying. And it is one of the funnier Disney movies with a witty and funny script. More pluses are a genius turn from Danny DeVito as the hilarious Phil, and a wonderfully sleazy James Woods as the hot-headed villain Hades( a great villain, might I add?)Rip Torn also has fun as Zeus, especially when his statue came to life. The incidental music is lovely as well. However, there are a few negatives. Hercules himself, both child and adult, is a little bland, but Meg manages to establish herself as one of the best female Disney characters. Also, there isn’t much of a story. The prove-you’re- a-hero formula was a little unoriginal for me. The biggest minus was the rather dull songs by Alan Menken. The songs, especially “Zero to Hero” were a real disappointment, as Menken had so much better work before this, namely Beauty and the Beast. However, Michael Bolton’s rendition of Go the Distance(the only song I had no problem with)was a joy to behold, as was “I won’t say I’m in love”. It wasn’t a good idea turning gospel, should’ve stayed with the classical. However, despite the flaws, I did enjoy Hercules, which is a 7/10. Bethany Cox
second tier Disney
After imprisoning the Titans, Zeus and Hera have their son Hercules. Zeus’ brother Hades in the underworld plans to overthrow Zeus by freeing the Titans. However, he must stop Hercules before growing up and his fate to stop the release. He sends his evil minions Pain and Panic to steal baby Hercules and feed him a potion to make him mortal. The baby fails to drink every last drop and he’s adopted by a kindly farmer couple. Hercules grows up to be a bumbling part-mortal trying to control his powers. After yet another accident, he is banished from his home. Along the way, he is befriended by Pegasus sent by Zeus and recruits trainer Phil. He is joined by femme fatale Meg who had actually sold her soul to Hades. With Pain and Panic, she sets Hercules to Hades’ impossible labors.
This is second tier Disney animation. It is really a referential cartoon at heart. It tries very hard to be irreverent. I’m not sure about making young Hercules a bumbling teen. Setting him young does detract from any chemistry with Meg. He’s a child while she’s all woman. The movie mixes the origins of Superman with the classic Greek. Seeing how Superman steals from Hercules, it’s par for the course. The only truly great character is Hades. He is deliciously evil. The songs are relatively forgettable. Despite being second tier, it is still very much Disney and has an overall competence.
