I absolutely love this film! It's just everything. You know the rest, the songs, the characters, the music and the animation which you can't really go wrong. From the creators of Aladdin and The Little Mermaid. It's the one, the only, by the famous name of all, Hercules! i actually like the song which is sung by Michael Bolton, Go The Distance. I love the characters. Oh god, I can say it all the time while I'm doing reviews by Disney. I can't explain this much enough. The characters from every Disney movie is just Nostalgic and fun to like. I especially like Philoctetes played by Danny DeVito and James Woods playing Hades, Lord of the Underworld. There's also other characters like the female damsel in distress Megara. Zeus, Hercules's father, Pegasus, Hercules's pet, Pain and Panic, Hades Henchmen and then wonder boy ( which Meg called him) Hercules. I love the songs in it, I can't remember what they're called apart from Go The Distance, Zero to Hero sung by black people and One Last Hope which I love. The animation, what can I say? It's by the same guys who did Aladdin and The Little Mermaid which they wanted to make it so smooth and colourful like the other Disney films. I can't say more about the story because you know the story already from years so I'm gonna have to leave it there. Yes! Disney has done it again making the movies go to renaissance to brilliance. Filled with awesome scenes for audience to enjoy like myself. Expand

Overall amazing movie but definitely on the lower end of Disney classics Expand

Having been Kidnapped by Hades as a child, Hercules has to prove himself worthy of living amongst the Gods as he grows into adulthood.

One of the last movies of Disney’s 90’s revival, Hercules doesn’t have the memorable tunes of some of the company’s other movies, but it’s still fast-paced, funny and entertaining.

Hercules will always be one of my top 5 Disney animated movies. The music, The beautiful animation and the stellar cast all very much live up over 20 years later. It's a classic.

Though wonderfully animated, the story is quite weak for a Disney film, the songs not very memorable and again we have another story of a damsel in distress.

Another Great Disney Movie Of The 90’s
Hercules is hilarious, terrifically casted (Especially James Woods as Hades), beautifully animated, and clever.

Disney's Hercules is a fun and entertaining family movie, with great characters, beautiful animation and very good songs. However, the connoisseurs of Greek mythology will not be happy with the changes to the original story.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. an amazing movie for a more classic time

pros
thieves is set like new york
but the movie is heavily kid friendly
amazing enemies
hercules becomes a true hero
hercules was already a famous hero
that included the actual zeus in the movie
disney's 3rd best film under lion king and frozen
but it can be argued for first place despite other ratings
extremely creative
the fights are cool
intensely imaginative
teaches you positively about the greek gods, love, and history
they even made an amazing series off it
the songs are just amazing too

cons
little to none
