The most fictional part of this entire movie was its portrayal of Zeus as a loving, devoted family man.
I’m pretty sure the reputation zeus has is a result of everyone wanting the main guy in the myths to have him as their dad, as he’s among other things the god of fatherhood. It’s a classic case of flanderization, much like how Batman is seen as a guy who just beats up poor people now, where anyone who grew up with his stories knows that’s not remotely true.
@@comradestarbucks2726 he do be beating up the poors tho 😂
@@comradestarbucks2726 Zeus was always portrayed as a vengeful, philandering, rapist douche though. The Greek myths never shied away from it, it's just that at one time being a vengeful, philandering, rapist douche was an admired quality in a leader.
@dusranoasen3004
Which one’s poor?
I prefer Zeus this way, I read the greek myths and the only decent God is Hades, compared to the others.
"Why does this creature remind me of Danny DeVito?"
Who's gonna tell her chat?
Well guess it makes sense now 😂
@@Alyska😂😂
To this day Hades is my favorite Disney villain. I love his entire evil used car salesmen portrayal.
James Woods kills it as Hades
@@bemasaberwyn55right, he completely nailed the role
For sure Aladdin , The Emperor's New Grove , and Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Don’t forget Little Mermaid, Beauty & the Beast, Pocahontas, Tarzan
Aladdin is a must-see... RIP Robin Williams.
Definitely.
@@MatthewJamesKalasky You love Robin Williams huh?
25:29 when hades said "it's only half time" it's literally half time in the movie
Epic
Cool. Nice timing.
I thought it was about the hydra about to double it's head.
If you pay attention, you will notice that the blue blanket hercules adopted parents gave him when he left is the cape he is wearing when he grow up
Very Superman inspired.
The 3headed dog is Cerberus, in the actual myth, Heracles was the son of Zeus and a mortal woman and it wasn’t hades who tried to kill him with snakes when he was a baby, it was Hera, Zeus’ wife
And not only a mortal woman she was married and Zeus disguised himself as her husband and raped her. Zeus was an uber douche as was his wife Hera, and the rest of the gods for that matter.
Also, Megara was Hercules' first and totally normal wife. Philoctetes was human, not Satyr. If this is supposed to be the Greek version (which most of the other names point to) Hercules' name was Herakles. Also, I'm pretty sure that one of those -euses that Phil listed was also one of Zeus' kids and that was the kid that Pegasus belonged to in the mythology.
Tarzan, The Hunchback of Notredame, and Aladdin are my Disney movie recommendations.
I second these! ☝
"Olympus would be that way" is still one of the funniest lines in the movie
My suggestion: Aladdin (1992) ... Robin Williams was great as the genie 👍
🎶 YOU AIN’T NEVER HAD A FRIEND LIKE ME! 🎶
@@aaronluke1993 An iconic song! So much fun. RIP Robin Williams 🙏
The best one!
I'm old that the most unrealistic thing Disney ever did was portray Zeus as a loving family man. The "real" Zeus is on Title IX's most wanted list, as most of the Greco-Roman gods would be.
James Wood loves the character of Hades so much, not only did he offer to voice the character for free if need be, but he will always drop everything to reprise the role.
Susan Egan was the voice of Meg, and she was also the first actress to play Belle in the stage version of Beauty and the Beast, and she is the sweetest, kindest person you’ll ever meet!
She was also the English dub voice of Lin in Spirited Away
The alternate ending is crazy, Kratos shows up and the screen cuts to black as he says "Zeus! Your son has returned!"
James Woods as Hades will always be favorite and my favorite funny villains in animation history
Aye
The Big Bad Villain being a Quick Whitted, Fast Talking Car Saleman type was the best Decision ever! JAMES WOODS Killed it..!!
Hades is why I love this Movie 🎬
Hades has always been, and continues to be, the king of sass lol. also one of the easiest to miss jokes in my opinion is when they are baiting hercules to save the children right before the hydra fight. one of the kids says to call IXII which of course are the roman numerals for 911 :D
Hades is almost never depicted as even being malicious in history, he's often even helpful.
Not just the old Disney films that are worth going back and watching, there's a bunch of animated films from the 90s that were all really good. FernGully, Balto, Anastasia, the list goes on and on
Balto!🤩😭 yassss!
Prince of Egypt. El Dorado
Let's not leave out the iron giant
I love Anastasia (plus it’s partially historical and musical version)
Suggestions for Disney Renaissance films, eh? I mean, you should probably work your way through the entire era. However, since you've seen The Lion King and Mulan, I highly recommend you start with Beauty and the Beast, then The Little Mermaid and Aladdin in no particular order. Those tend to be everyone's favorites.
And tangled!
The original "What are those?!" hahaha
If you want some old school animated movies, I would recommend "Watership Down", "Black Cauldron", "Secret of Nimh".
Black Cauldron definitely, but I don't recommend Watership down, that's the stuff of nightmares 😏😏😏😏
It's kind of funny that they took every evil thing that Hera did in the original Labors of Heracles myth, and had Hades do it instead.
In the original myth, Hades was frankly one of the most honest and helpful gods Heracles encountered along the way!
Danny DeVito did play the goat guy that trained him.
Hercules being “old” feels like a slap in the face when I remember watching the likes of the original Disney Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Pinocchio, & Sword in the Stone as a kid. 😩😂
“Being famous isn’t the same as being a true hero.” That line always stuck with me.
This is gold even for today's time.
Man... Hercules will always be my favourite Disney movie, my dad took me and my sister to the movies back when it was released and it was my first timw ever in a movie theatre. Love that movie, shame they don't make films like that no more... I'm glad you enjoyed this movie! And Hades is just the best villain ever...
Ooh the classics, you've gotta watch Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Pinocchio. I also agree with Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast. Oh! an often forgotten one; The Black Cauldron. And, one of the funniest things I've seen in my life, The Emperor's New Groove.
The dog's name is Keberos, although it's known by its Roman name, Cerberus
Gotta do Aladdin if you are watching older disney movies. Almost forgot to mention Jungle Book as well. Those are my top 2 disney movies all time
Hunchback of Notredame
I like Disney Hercules series even though it's not canon. But my favorite episode is a crossover between Hercules and Aladdin.
Poor Scar (The Lion King) 30:27 😂
Right😂😂
He’s a psychopath who murdered his own brother.
@@nathancruz9172 Nobody's perfect.
@@carm3d that’s what my dad said.
@@nathancruz9172 This is standard King shit.
Aladdin, Lilo & Stitch, Pinocchio, Beauty and the Beast.
hey Alyska i suggest you watch Aladdin, The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, Pocahontas, Tarzan, Beauty and the Beast disney had so many good movies in the 90s i grew up on all these
I second this list
Personally, I think that you picked the best one to start with. None of the other ones stand up to the pure unadulterated joy- the music is outrageously fantastic, the animation is and was groundbreaking, unique, and mature, as far as I know only two(?) other movies were ever made that look like this and to my knowledge Susan Egan has never voiced another Disney character, I may be wrong about that.
This is the most unique Disney movie ever made I think because it mixes Roman mythology and gospel music and the most funky fun edgy art style❤ this is my favorite Disney movie. Hercules has become a lot more appealing to me as an adult because he’s not technically in the Disney lineup and therefore he isn’t a generic Disney prince but he is a super sweet and naïve guy and Meg is just amazing…
Absolutely perfect, best Disney princess ever at least she was in the Disney lineup back in her day I used to watch this movie all the time, like multiple times a day I was obsessed and sometimes I still get obsessed with this movie
She was in a few Disney-produced English dubs of Studio Ghibli films, if that counts.
And she was the original Belle in the Broadway adaptation of _Beauty and the Beast_ if you count that.
@@christopherwall2121 oh yes, I do remember her doing Lin from spirited away and I didn’t know about the Broadway production, beauty and the beast I wouldn’t know I was mostly talking about mainstream Disney animated Stuff but I mean, it makes sense to have her in a singing roll on Broadway. I just didn’t know about it prior.
Such an underrated Disney film!
If you haven't seen Prince of Egypt, it has an absolutely stunning soundtrack
Also yes
A few suggestions:
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)-fiiled with some of the greatest animation and music ever to come from Disney
Fantasia (1940)-Disney's magnum opus of animation, a series of experimental animaions all set to classical music
Pinocchio (1941)-a black comedy of a movie, filled with evil puppeteers, foxes who are con men and delinquent boys who are enslaved in salt mines
Bambi (1942)-another contender for Disney's crowning achievemen of animated beauty, being an epic chronicling the growth of a young fawn as he struggles to survive the seasons and the presence of Man
101 Dalmatians (1961) rougher styles of animaion, bbut very humorous tale of a London couple and their litter of puppies
Hunchback also has a KILLER score
Herc's swim to Meg is my favorite scene in the movie. The music, the way rapidly ages the deeper he swims, and the way transition to the Fates readying to cut his thread...I love it.
According to Hercules from KH2 game: I didn't hesitate to give my life for Meg's. And then, I remembered: A true hero is measured by the strength of his heart.
I’ve always loved this movie & probably the most frequently watched Disney film I had on video next to The Lion King. I don’t just know every line by heart but to this day I’ve likely listened to the soundtrack 50+ times. The choice to use Gospel Music for a film about Greek Gods & Myth was absolutely inspired
Do Pocahontas, Aladdin, Tartan, a bug's life, toy story 1+2
The Little Mermaid (1989), Beauty and the Beast (1991), and Aladdin (1992) were the (start of the) Disney Animation Renaissance. As for classics before that, you've got the O.G. "princess stories" Snow White (1937), Cinderella (1950), and Sleeping Beauty (1959), and there are tons of other films, but I want to be sure you don't overlook Pinocchio (1940) and The Jungle Book (1967).
My favorite detail is that no matter how desperate Herc is to get to Olympus, he never forgets his adoptive parents. He sets them up for life in thr Zero-To-Hero musical number!
Fun fact: Cerberus means "Spotted", so Hades literally named his three-headed Hellhound "Spot"
Ratatouille, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, A Bug's Life
One of my favorite Disney movies! You should read the actual Greek mythology and the 12 labors he had to do for what he did to Meg
My personal favorite Disney film was "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". It is a classic.
If You are looking for more Star Wars content, check out some of Your past videos: I leave suggestions. Or at the very least offer to leave some in the future should You be interested.
Let us keep in touch!
‘I think most of the gods are meant to be Buttheads to be honest!’
If you want a more accurate idea of what the Greek Gods were like, you might take a look at "Epic: The Musical"
Think Hamilton The Odyssey, but better (maybe my opinion)
So, the musical is being released in sets online, and it's gained a following of animators that are taking each song and giving it a visual medium. It's been pretty impressive.
...but yeah, The Gods are a bit more of themselves in those.
Hades is one of the best characters in Disney, PERIOD!❤
He is just SO MUCH FUN!😂
Fun fact hades was one of the least cruel/evil gods of the Greek pantheon. This movie is still awesome though.
"Why does this creature remind me of Danny DeVito?"
Me: cause it is 😂😂. He does phenomenal in this role though
The animated robin hood, Sword in the stone, 101 dalmations, Tarzan, Treasure planet, Aladin
React to all of the Disney Classics, you cannot go wrong with them. My personal favorite is Aladdin.
Personally I would say Aladdin, The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Beauty and the Beast are the best Disney movies ever made.
Little Mermaid, Beauty & the Beast, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Hunchback of Norte Dame, Tarzan… those are all the animated Disney movies from the 90s. So you should watch all of those
Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Tarzan & The Emperor’s New Groove!
1:15 When THAT bass line kicks in… 👌🏻😊 The music of this film just SLAPS and you can see it on your face 😄
The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin are amazing
I loved this movie growing up still go back and watch it every now and then
Aladdin and The Hunchback of Notre Dame are definitely up there.
Atlantis and Treasure Planet are often overlooked, but also belong to my favorites.
Technically not a Disney film, but think you'll love 1997's Anastasia ✨✨ one of the best animated princess movies ever!
One thing I love about the movie is that Hades was originally written as a dark, more brooding villain. When James Woods came in to do a reading, he played the part more like a sleezy car dealer. They rewrote the part just for him.
Old classic Disney films that I think are MANDATORY for you to react to, Alyska, are The Lion King, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty And The Beast, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Cinderella (the personal favorite Disney Princess of Walt Disney himself). Two others that came around the early 2000s but I would still consider nothing less than classics that I also feel you need to react to are Dinosaur, and Tarzan.
Here's a fun fact that popped into my head after you mentioned the God of War games: Rip Torn, who voices Zeus here, was in those games as Hephaestus. Furthermore, Corey Burton, who replaced Torn as Zeus for the various spinoffs and merchandise for this movie, reprised that role for rhe GoW games
Alyce you need to see all the old Disney movies 🥺🙏
Fun little explanation. Phil is such a oervert because he's a Satyr. Theyre beings of carnal pleasure and wild nature.
Fates: "Indoor plumbing is gonna be big" is good, in germany we have : "Elvis lebt, aber erzähl es keinem" in english it would be: "Elvis is alive, dont tell anybody".
For other Disney movies, The Little Mermaid is a must watch. It's maybe a tad more dated than Hercules, but it was the first one to really be done as a Broadway musical and is a stone cold classic in its own right. It also has a lot of the same kind of goofy humor, sometimes campy, sometimes slapstick with some great visual gags. Other personal highlights would include The Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Great Mouse Detective (a very underrated one imo).
Atlantis: The Lost empire, The Emperors New Groove and Treasure planet are my old disney recommendations
21:37 when she thought hercules just got flashed by a random dude lol
Oh man the 90s! Do I miss that era! Born in 1984, I was 5yrs old in 89, the 90s was my thing
Glad you liked the movie. This Era was called the Disney Renaissance for a reason.
Great to see you back Alyce! This movie was a great one for kids and parents alike. James Woods as Hades stole the show
Being someone who loves the original mythology, I love this film, also you should watch The Hunchback of Notre Dame
This was my favourite Disney film as a kid. Great reaction!
Aladdin or Tarzan should be your next destination for more of this era Disney with incredible soundtracks
THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME! Definitely an eye opener of a darker Disney movie. One of my all time favorites ❤
A lot of people are suggesting Aladdin, and rightly so, but you really gotta do the whole Aladdin trilogy, including the two direct-to-video sequels, The Return Of Jafar and Aladdin and the King of Thieves.
So... I usually don't go "YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS?!" to peoples reaction vids... but this was the video that made me react that way.
I just love that they made the muses gospel singers
The Fox and the Hound is an absolute must. You would also love The Black Cauldron I think. Real different with nice dark fantasy vibes perfect after Elden Ring SOTE! And OF COURSE You gotta watch the first big Disney movie, Snow White. An all time classic.
Bless my soul, Herc is a on a roll does float around my head from time to time 🎉❤
i'm kind of surprised you haven't seen old school disney. Honestly, most of the ones from the '90's: Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Emperor's New Groove, Aladdin, Little Mermaid, Pochantas, Tarzan, Atlantis (even though that's from the 2000s but thats one of my favorites)
Achilles was shot there by an arrow bro, I'd hardly call that a nick🙄
Even though this movie is no where near accurate to the actual story of Heracles (Hercules is the Roman way of saying his name) it’s still ranks among my all time favorite Disney classic movies
If they ever do this in live-action, Elizabeth Gillies needs to be cast as Meg. She’s perfect for it.
Aside from the Little Mermaid, Lion King, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast which everyone will recommend, I suggest you watch Tarzan, The Princess and the Frog, Atlantis The Lost Empire, and The Emperor's New Groove.
The movies i'd recommend are Aladdin, Tarzan and Atlantis. If you haven't seen Treasure Planet that's another pretty good watch. And a personal favorite The Fox and the Hound.
This movie has amazing soundtrack !!! This nearly 30 years later I listed to it regularly.
please watch Anastatia. I think its technically a disney film now but it has one of my favorite songs in an animated film " once upon a december " idk why I love that song so much but its hauntingly beautiful to me. lol
Ooooh, if you haven't watched Disney growing up, then you definitely need to react to all of the 90's Disney movie.
Little Mermaid (even though it's 89 and not 90's), Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Tarzan.
When your said "old school Disney" were you trying to hurt me?😂
32:54 Also Altivo from Road to El Dorado.
Obviously, you should watch Beauty and the Beast. It's usually considered the best Disney movie, and was the first animated film to be nominated for Best Picture. It's great.
Go the Distance is in my top 3 Disney songs of all time. It’s usually in my #1 spot but it sometimes fluctuates to the #2 spot. The other Disney song that is in my top 2 is treasure planet song “I’m Still Here” by John Rzeznik
the name of the 3 headed dog is Cerberus Alyska.
There's a bit more of Hades (James Woods) after the credits.
Disney hired the art designer from "Pink Floyd's The Wall" to create the distinct look of this film.
Meg’s hips are _out of control_ , early animators were wild lol
Beauty and the Beast & Hunchback of Notredom are a must.
Treasure Planet is a 100% must watch. Atlantis is also another pick.
Lion King 2 ia also on the list for me
