To this day my headcanon is that the narrator at the beginning is going to tell the _actual_ story of Hercules, and then the Muses cut in saying, "What are you insane? There are children in the audience. We're going to take some... creative liberties."
James Wood loved being Hades so much he's had a standing offer to Disney to voice him for any adaptations, including the cartoon, commercials and random appearances in House of Mouse.
Not to mention the fact that Hercules was never Zeus's favorite son and Hades being a bad guy even though in actual mythology he's actually a good guy.
@@amethystimagination3332Tbh the extent of Hera's hatred for him in mythology changing to being a loving mother is definitely the biggest inaccuracy in the movie
Disney Renaissance movies hit different musically, even if the film wasn't exactly the best you could trust the music to carry everything. (Except you, Tarzan, sorry Phil Collins.)
Hades was not actually the bad guy in the original story of Hercules, it was Zeus’ wife Hera who tried to kill Hercules when he was a baby by sending the snakes to kill him and was also the one who caused him to go mad, which as a result caused Hercules to kill Megara and their children.
He also didn't have Pegasus that was a guy called Bellerophon. We get it you read a book in school, NONE OF IT FUCKING HAPPENED there isn't an "accurate" version there's no consistency between the stories of Hesiod, Homer and Euripides

Yeah, but she’s an animated character. Most of the time, characters in animation aren’t meant to look realistic, their designs are supposed to convey what type of character they are. Sorry if I’m coming off as rude, I just like ranting about animation
Fun little fact: in the Lion King, Zazu (The Bird) says to Mufasa after he confronts Scar about not being at Simba’s christening “He’d make a very nice throw rug.” And what do you know? HE DOES, IN FACT, MAKE A VERY NICE THROW RUG!😂😂😂
3:51 I know those are jokes but... he (Hercules) has all the reason to be sad, imagine being so strong that everything you might touch it will broke. How much damage Hercules when was young would have done to things that society would want pay back from his adopted parents? Hercules and his family being ostracised by the people is not cool or Chad, he know his family suffer because of him...
One fun fact about _Hercules (1997)_ is that it's the second of the Disney Renaissance films the male leads of whom would go on to voice Spider-Man: Christopher Daniel Barnes was Prince Eric in _The Little Mermaid,_ and Josh Keaton starred as Hercules, well, Young!Hercules.
The whole ‘getting famous’ part of the movie was kinda the point. They were making fun of Hollywood or Vegas. Like he went from a hero for the fame and recognition to a hero that sacrifices himself for Meg. 🤷🏽♀️ also the music is amazing and they went with a gospel route on purpose if you watch the behind the scenes.
This Disney movie wasn’t that popular back then, but it quickly gained a cult following. I personally don’t like watching the movie so much often, mainly because I’m not that into Hercules. The only advantage I got from the movie was James Woods as Hades. He’s like the best character out of the whole movie. 😅

Does anyone else remember the animated show Young Hercules? It was one of the weaker ones if I recall of the Disney animated universe. He even had the goth girl high school friend.
Pain's kid disguise: *deemed scary by STM crew member* Next frame: *the Hydra, aka: The true scariest thing* Fun fact: When Hades says "Guys relax, it's only halftime", he says it at the exact halfway point of the movie.
Hades in actual mythology : just trying to do his job at home taking care of underworld for all the dead people while his family members causing utter chaos on earth😂
I was six when I saw this film in theaters and became obsessed with it for years afterward. My parents got me so many of the toys, especially the Hydra which remains one of my favorite Mythic Greek creatures. I drew it countless times. In my opinion, its animation holds up well specifically BECAUSE the animators wanted it to stand out. It was very deliberately stylized, and they approached it with the goal of creating something both cartoonish & visually stunning. It's difficult to articulate exactly, but the motion of it gives my brain this feeling of it walking this uncanny line between 2D & 3D. I like that aspect of it partially because it made the monster look scarier to me which benefitted its impact. Could it have looked better within the film's world in pure 2D? Perhaps, but I don't think it would have been realistic to try that in 1997. Considering how ambitious the film's vision for this monster was, particularly with the amount of heads onscreen at once towards the end, animating it in 2D only would likely have required drastically reducing their number. This is one main reason I'm glad the animators stuck to their guns. Part of what makes this sequence so memorable is PRECISELY all those heads. It's a defining element of what made the monster so intimidating to me as a viewer. Since I knew nothing about the mythos on my first watch, I worried how Hercules could possibly win against this seemingly unkillable behemoth. Him fighting inside that mess of giant, bright serpent eyes & snapping teeth terrified me. Most depictions of the Hydra in books or other media only have it regenerate a few heads. I'm glad this was my first exposure to it because, as far as I'm concerned, Disney's incarnation is far and away the most visually badass. Then, I got the PC game and was addicted to that for a while (The Hydra boss being my favorite part). I'd sit at my monitor almost every day after school and try to finish it. It was awesome to feel like I was playing through the film. I loved seeing the cutscenes from the movie, listening to adaptations of the music throughout the levels, and felt like I was on cloud 9 when I finally beat the game. My folks even took me to see Hercules on Ice at the Richmond Coliseum. For my young self, seeing the Hercules actor's sword cut slime out of the puppet Hydra was epic. On our way out, we got a mug based on the one he drinks from in the movie which I kept & used well into high school until it finally broke. So yeah, this remains not only one of my top favorite Disney movies but one of my favorite films in general. It kickstarted my interest in Greek Mythology. Hercules, while some criticize him as a bland protagonist, was fun and wholesome. I wanted to grow up to treat the love of my life (whenever I meet her) with the same love, respect, devotion, and kindness he showed Megara. James Woods as Hades is still one of my favorite villains. Danny DeVito as Phil was hilarious. Some of my favorite Disney songs are in this. Lastly, as someone who grew up feeling like an outsider in my own ways, I pleasantly related to Hercules' arc of wanting to belong and realizing by the finale that his place was on Earth. It was with the people who already loved & accepted him. And Meg loved him for who he was, not for his power or fame. He didn't need godhood to become the best version of himself because his greatest strength was his good heart.
4:21 no bro, this is our average protagonist character and our avatars in videogames. Let not forget Zeus banging everything else under the sky an beyond so if I were the strongest Human ever until now, then I would suspect the mofo is my father (and might her mother lie to her husband, lol)
I never got the hate for this movie. I know a decent amount and used to actively try to learn about mythology, but I still love this movie so much. It has a great soundtrack, a fantastic badguy, and a good story. This movie also debuted in theatres saying “this is not a lesson in mythology”.
Corey Burton voiced this Zeus in the show and also another Zeus from God of War who is a foil to this Zeus. What a nice moral compass example, also Rip Torn voiced him in the movie, who is also Hephasteus in GOW 3
I'm surprised Kor and Eden used to be knowledgeable on Greek mythology as kids but forgot most of it into adulthood, because that's exactly how it was for me.
Fun Fact: Hercules is actually his Roman name, the Greek version is named Heracles. He was also not born a god but rather a demigod of Zeus (Hera was not his mom) and was made a god so that whole like becoming a hero to win back your godhood thing doesn't exist in Greek Mythology and the Gods can turn anyone into a god for any reason. For example, demigods like Dionysus and Heracles were turned into gods and even Ganymede who was born mortal.
When I was like 11 this movie was on tv while I was at my grandma’s and, I love my grandma so much but goodness! She thought that it was blasphemous and would convince me and other kids to worship idols and false gods and wanted me to turn it off😅 I had to explain to her that this was just about Greek mythology, *inaccurate* Greek mythology, it wasn’t evil, nor was it trying to indoctrinate kids into believing in “false gods.” It was just a kids movie lol She let me watch it still but didn’t keep her eyes off me like she was worried I’d be brainwashed. She probably prayed EXTRA hard for me that night hah I also explained to her not long ago that a lot of what people think Greek mythology is is actually very biblicized (I’m making that a word now.) Like how Zeus violated MANY women and yet he’s seen as the God of Greek mythology. Hades was actually probably the most sane out of the main 3 and he just got unlucky with watching over the underworld and he only oversees the dead pretty much, AND he had the least toxic marriage of the gods. It’s alright tho since everyone has to start somewhere and she grew up in a very strict Catholic household and is a pretty strict Born-Again

Fun Fact: Megara in Greek mythology was a Princess of Thebes, which technically makes her a Disney princess.
All girls in Disney are Princesses, that's literally their rule.
she’s a disney QUEEN. an icon
Also, in mythology Hercules went mad and killed her.
@@esmeecampbell7396So Nani is a princess ?

@@amethystimagination3332Tbh the extent of Hera's hatred for him in mythology changing to being a loving mother is definitely the biggest inaccuracy in the movie
You want to know what’s funny, Pegasus in Greek mythology was the son of Medusa and Poseidon, which makes Pegasus and Hercules first cousins.
And Ariel is Hercules' cousin! (King Triton is based off Poseidon)
@@donovanlocust1106Triton is actually the son of Poseidon and Amphitrite, which also makes Pegasus Ariel’s uncle.

Why did Kor seem so happy in the very beginning like “happy saturnalia everybody” you could hear him smiling
Kor wishing happy Saturnalia, the December holiday of a Roman god, while watching a movie about Greek mythology in March

Key Moments by Agent Gold AI
Does anyone else remember the animated show Young Hercules? It was one of the weaker ones if I recall of the Disney animated universe. He even had the goth girl high school friend.
5:29 this is a very hazardous phrase to use in regards to Zeus.
Pain's kid disguise: *deemed scary by STM crew member*
Next frame: *the Hydra, aka: The true scariest thing*
Fun fact: When Hades says "Guys relax, it's only halftime", he says it at the exact halfway point of the movie.
Hades in actual mythology : just trying to do his job at home taking care of underworld for all the dead people while his family members causing utter chaos on earth😂
And getting a wife through kidnapping and stockholm syndrome so he aint fully innocent
And does the occasional kidnapping and shit like that just for kicks
9:23 he forgot to GET UP ON THE HYDRA'S BACK
I was six when I saw this film in theaters and became obsessed with it for years afterward. My parents got me so many of the toys, especially the Hydra which remains one of my favorite Mythic Greek creatures. I drew it countless times.
In my opinion, its animation holds up well specifically BECAUSE the animators wanted it to stand out. It was very deliberately stylized, and they approached it with the goal of creating something both cartoonish & visually stunning.
It's difficult to articulate exactly, but the motion of it gives my brain this feeling of it walking this uncanny line between 2D & 3D. I like that aspect of it partially because it made the monster look scarier to me which benefitted its impact.
Could it have looked better within the film's world in pure 2D? Perhaps, but I don't think it would have been realistic to try that in 1997. Considering how ambitious the film's vision for this monster was, particularly with the amount of heads onscreen at once towards the end, animating it in 2D only would likely have required drastically reducing their number.
This is one main reason I'm glad the animators stuck to their guns. Part of what makes this sequence so memorable is PRECISELY all those heads. It's a defining element of what made the monster so intimidating to me as a viewer.
Since I knew nothing about the mythos on my first watch, I worried how Hercules could possibly win against this seemingly unkillable behemoth. Him fighting inside that mess of giant, bright serpent eyes & snapping teeth terrified me.
Most depictions of the Hydra in books or other media only have it regenerate a few heads. I'm glad this was my first exposure to it because, as far as I'm concerned, Disney's incarnation is far and away the most visually badass.
Then, I got the PC game and was addicted to that for a while (The Hydra boss being my favorite part). I'd sit at my monitor almost every day after school and try to finish it. It was awesome to feel like I was playing through the film.
I loved seeing the cutscenes from the movie, listening to adaptations of the music throughout the levels, and felt like I was on cloud 9 when I finally beat the game. My folks even took me to see Hercules on Ice at the Richmond Coliseum.
For my young self, seeing the Hercules actor's sword cut slime out of the puppet Hydra was epic. On our way out, we got a mug based on the one he drinks from in the movie which I kept & used well into high school until it finally broke.
So yeah, this remains not only one of my top favorite Disney movies but one of my favorite films in general. It kickstarted my interest in Greek Mythology. Hercules, while some criticize him as a bland protagonist, was fun and wholesome.
I wanted to grow up to treat the love of my life (whenever I meet her) with the same love, respect, devotion, and kindness he showed Megara. James Woods as Hades is still one of my favorite villains. Danny DeVito as Phil was hilarious.
Some of my favorite Disney songs are in this. Lastly, as someone who grew up feeling like an outsider in my own ways, I pleasantly related to Hercules' arc of wanting to belong and realizing by the finale that his place was on Earth.
It was with the people who already loved & accepted him. And Meg loved him for who he was, not for his power or fame. He didn't need godhood to become the best version of himself because his greatest strength was his good heart.
4:09 How f*cking dare you! Son of a bread
4:10 this literally killed me. That song is amazing and you just compared it with "Here I are"
Interviewer: what is your weakness?
Saitama: i’m too strong and i’m always late to get groceries
15:30
"Dude, how do you feel?"
7:00 he went through that Steven universe future 3-day time skip
Y’all made my day better thanks again guys❤😊
4:21 no bro, this is our average protagonist character and our avatars in videogames. Let not forget Zeus banging everything else under the sky an beyond so if I were the strongest Human ever until now, then I would suspect the mofo is my father (and might her mother lie to her husband, lol)
Oh that’s why you always have new episodes right after school THE END OF MY SCHOOL IS WHEN YOU POST THE GODS SMILE ON ME
They named the movie Hercules wich is the Roman mythology name instead of the Greek one Heracles because Hercules is way more popular
This movie captivated me as a child and got me interested in Greek mythology.
And BOY WAS I MISLED-
4:16 I just realized Hercules and Superman have the same backstory in this
I never got the hate for this movie. I know a decent amount and used to actively try to learn about mythology, but I still love this movie so much. It has a great soundtrack, a fantastic badguy, and a good story.
This movie also debuted in theatres saying “this is not a lesson in mythology”.
0:50 u damn know that disney itself would be make such a scene by that
Perseus which was one of the heroes he named didn’t let him down because he killed Medusa,a ton of other monsters and had seven kids with a hottie
Hercules? Honey, you mean HUNKules!
How is it that Hercules could kill all of the Titans so easily, yet Zeus and the other gods couldn’t do anything?
Well, the Titans are deathless, like the Gods, so none of them should be able to kill them.
12:23 I love that they know what a cutie mark is xd
I think they have watched MLP on the channel
@@SyiepherzeTheir still haunted by it
Corey Burton voiced this Zeus in the show and also another Zeus from God of War who is a foil to this Zeus. What a nice moral compass example, also Rip Torn voiced him in the movie, who is also Hephasteus in GOW 3
1:12 That's the most nerd emoji thing i have ever heard 🤓
He's not wrong though
I'm surprised Kor and Eden used to be knowledgeable on Greek mythology as kids but forgot most of it into adulthood, because that's exactly how it was for me.
Zeus’s sister is his wife and he cheats on her with his other sister 😭
EDEN’S BACK!
scrolling through the comments and immediately spotting all Percy Jackson readers. i know what you are.
Fun Fact: Hercules is actually his Roman name, the Greek version is named Heracles. He was also not born a god but rather a demigod of Zeus (Hera was not his mom) and was made a god so that whole like becoming a hero to win back your godhood thing doesn't exist in Greek Mythology and the Gods can turn anyone into a god for any reason. For example, demigods like Dionysus and Heracles were turned into gods and even Ganymede who was born mortal.
Hades character is fire (pun intended).
10:49 Out of all the songs the editor could use, Sand Planet by Miku was the last thing I expected
Got me barking like a dog. Whoof whoof
You know a fun fact, Hercules va in the movie is the same va for Hercules in GOW, the dude that got his face beaten into a pulp by kratos
0:35 facts
James Woods loves playing Hades so much that he voices him in the tv series & the Kingdom Hearts games
Cool
Ah yes, one of my favorite Disney movies!
When I was like 11 this movie was on tv while I was at my grandma’s and, I love my grandma so much but goodness! She thought that it was blasphemous and would convince me and other kids to worship idols and false gods and wanted me to turn it off😅 I had to explain to her that this was just about Greek mythology, *inaccurate* Greek mythology, it wasn’t evil, nor was it trying to indoctrinate kids into believing in “false gods.” It was just a kids movie lol She let me watch it still but didn’t keep her eyes off me like she was worried I’d be brainwashed. She probably prayed EXTRA hard for me that night hah
I also explained to her not long ago that a lot of what people think Greek mythology is is actually very biblicized (I’m making that a word now.) Like how Zeus violated MANY women and yet he’s seen as the God of Greek mythology. Hades was actually probably the most sane out of the main 3 and he just got unlucky with watching over the underworld and he only oversees the dead pretty much, AND he had the least toxic marriage of the gods. It’s alright tho since everyone has to start somewhere and she grew up in a very strict Catholic household and is a pretty strict Born-Again
