Man, the joke about Narcissus (at thr very beginning, during the party) REALLY flies over your head when you're a kid... Also, when Hades says 'It's only halftime' (when Hercules fights the beast with multipliying heads), its exactly half of the movie. Talk of precision
Hahaha, I dunno, I saw this movie when it came out when I was was 7 years old. I had an unusual upbringing because my mom read Greek myths to me as a child. I definitely missed the Oedipus one though XD
Yeah, I liked how there were references for the adults in the audience, always appreciate when a kid-friendly film mixes that in. And that's neat about the 'halftime' quote, tying in little details like that shows real passion and dedication for the work, which I love.
@@nickreacts6394 And the one about the Fates? According to the myth, the first of them makes a thread of human life (and when it tears, the person dies), the second blindly takes their destiny from a vase, and the third writes it down so that it becomes permanent. Of course, here only the first one's functions are shown... And as about the removable eye (yuck), it is from the Perseus myth. It all is twisted up, mashing up, tangled up...
@@silversunset technically no it couldn't be two words. "I'm" is the contracted form of "I am" and people write it this way to convey oral speech but grammatically speaking it is still composed of two individual words.
Fun fact! While it’s obviously based on Greek mythology, the movie creators also decided to give it the modern spin by making Hercules’ journey a ‘famous athlete culture’ kind of thing (which is why there’s so many references like having a trainer, sponsorships, merch, heroics always having an audience, etc)
Rip Torn, James Woods, Danny DeVito, Jim Cummings, Charlton Heston, and some of the best musical numbers in a Disney film Hercules was such a great 90s gift to us.
0:33 - Just want to point out that Hades isn't the god of death, he's the god of _the dead/the underworld._ The god of death is a being named Thanatos. This is the movie that got me into Greek mythology as a kid, so it'll always hold a special place in my heart, but it always hurts on re-watches now that I'm older because of how... inaccurate... it is to the source. Loved the reaction, glad you enjoyed the movie!
Thanks for clarifying that for me, that's an important distinction. And I see what you're saying about it's inaccuracy, I thought the film poked fun at itself, and it felt like the creators were real fans of the material, and the whole story seemed crafted with care and genuine passion. Glad you had fun with the reaction!
I once heard this described as a Vegas- version of Greek mythology, and while that person meant it to be derogatory, it is refreshing that the makers of this movie weren't trying to make the most serious important accurate movie and instead made something fun.
the original story is actually quite horrible Hercules is cursed by Hera who hates him as one of Zeus's bastards and because he’s a reminder that Zeus cheats on her frequently, so she sends him into a rage and he murders his wife and children in order to appease the blood debt he as accumulated, he is forced to take on the 12 labors
@@mckenzie.latham91 Yup. Though I believe you mean Heracles, not Hercules, since we're talking about the Greek version of the story. And honestly, that's the tip of the iceberg. Then again, hero myths served a different purpose for the ancient Greeks than they do for us. I mean, yes, we both use them as entertainment and imagination fuel. But we like our heroes to be paragons of the virtues our societies uphold. The ancient Greeks used hero myths as a morality tales that warned against the common flaws of man. Usually pride, arrogance, and greed. Honestly, Heracles is a bit of an unusual case, since his is one of the few surviving stories we have in which the hero's flaw is wrath. Anyways, if your hero's name isn't Perceus, you can pretty much assume the story starts bad and finishes worse XD
Technically, the ancient Greek mythology isn't the "original" - their version was an adaptation of even older stories and traditions. We will likely never know the true "original" version.
Fun Fact: Jack Nicholson was suppose to be Hades. But due to other commitments to projects, he turned it down, recommended the studio to give the role to James Woods, due to his ability to improv lines. And boy, did Woods deliver. Everything he says as Hades was improvised.
Hercules not only kills meg, he kills his own children as well after being bewitched by Hera to go into a blood rage, but why would you make that into a children’s story? I don’t get the hate for the film on not being accurate as if Disney needs an R-rated film filled with incest, infanticide, murder and rape.
I've always really liked this movie. It's just really fun. "What's the matter with these scissors" in the characters voice, is a line that I quote a lot anytime that I am cutting something and I feel that my knife or scissors aren't sharp enough. lol
6:12 I believe the story is he accidentally killed his family in a fit of delirium, and thus had to complete several trials to redeem himself. Also Hera hated him.
I love this film so much, especially Meg and how her character is written and layered. And Hades design and fire flowing is just so fun I eventually realised this movie was written to sell well with references to all the other sports/training fighter movies and popularity/merchandizing of players like LeBron but hey it's still fun
Fun Fact-Hermes is voiced by Paul Shaffer, David Letterman's famous bandleader/keyboardist, hence Hermes playing the keys at the end of the film. His banter with Zeus is reminiscent of his interaction with Letterman on the show. There are so many references to real life and pop culture in this movie, that each viewing affords the opportunity to find another. I loved your reaction to, "I'm walkin' here". A funny line on its own, but when knowing the context, brilliant. Another unrated Disney film is The Emperor's New Groove, very much in the same style as Hercules, and in my opinion, the funniest animated Disney film of all time. Thanks for the reaction. Loved it!
One of my favorites! Am I a little biased cuz my name is ALSO Meg? Maybe…..is it because I actually have MET the voice actress who played her (Susan Eagan) a few times???? Also maybe…….. It also was one of my little brother’s favs too. He had a Hercules costume when he was little that he wore EVERYWHERE. It was a struggle sometimes getting him to wear anything BUT that costume. Haha.
In the original myth, Hera actually gives Herakles "tonic" and he sees his wife Megara and their children as monsters,murders them and when he realizes what he`s done the gods punish him by making him mortal until he completes nine treacherous labours and the best part?The labours are chosen by the king of that region A.K.A. his own insanely jealous cousin.
This is my favorite movie or it was when I was in the hospital, 1997 was a rough time for me and I probably watch this movie at least 20 times a day because I was a child and it made me happy while I was in the hospital with annoying grown-ups for a year
Fun Fact: Josh Keaton (Voice of Peter Parker in “The Spectacular Spider-Man”) voiced Young Hercules, (Roger Bart provided the singing voice), While Tate Donavan (Jimmy Cooper on “The OC”) voiced Adult Hercules.
Some of the most iconic Disney animation scenes are from Fantasia, and is well worth a watch. It isn't many people's favourite, and it early bankrupted Disney but had grown much in popularity over the intervening years. It was an experiment to give free reign to the animators and have them animate musical scores as they saw them with no actual story. In fact only one scene is really recognised as a 'story' and that is the Sorcerer's Apprentice, but some of the animation elsewhere is stunning.
This is probably my favorite 90s Disney movie, and there are so many good ones. I still watch it occasionally and find it funnier now as an adult than when I was kid lol. Danny DeVito and Adam West are perfect in their roles as Hades and Philoctetes, and the songs are great too!
Technically, in the story of Achilles, in order for the invulnerability of the River Styx to work after getting the mother’s blessing and still keep yourself mortal, you have to dip your whole body in the river except leave out the one place on your body where your enemies can’t kill you in the least likely weak spot. For Achilles, it’s the heel where his mother had hold of him when he was a baby, but that didn’t end well in his case.
This is definetly top 5 Disney movies for me just because of the soundtrack . And I was, and still am, obsessed with Meg. I 100% stole most of my personality from her ngl. Probably the reason I'm so snarky now. Got it from Ms. Meg lmao. Also, shoutout to Hercules for being such a himbo it's so great!
Also, Hades and Herakles are uneasy allies,not enemies, in the original myth, in fact Hades actually helps Herakles with his final labour. Also, Hades at his worst in Greek Mythology would not free the Titans, for one thing Hades resented being god of the Underworld due to how lonely the job was(Hence his semi-consensual kidnapping of Persephone, that`s not an uncommon theme in Greek Mythology sadly).Also, Philoctetes was not only not Herakles` trainer in the myths, Philoctetes was a child when Herakles met him towards the end of his mortal life!(Also not uncommon in Greek Mythology)
a Hercules movie that I have liked above the others is the one with Duane Johnson (2014), where he plays it down and tries to be humble. "Was he the son of Zeus? I don't think it really matters. As long as you believe you're a hero...."
This guy is a real awesome dude. Literlly allowing people who are on the struggle bus to enjoy his full concent. Truly admirable. Im not very religious, but in this case, bless ya.
I've seen this on Patreon but I had to watch the highlights cause that's how much this film makes me laugh haha...and it's so nice that you get the jokes. Hades has some amazing lines. This is not in my top 3 but it honestly makes my miss my childhood so much. I remember rewatching the songs cause the Muses were so much fun and I was so intrigued by Hades and Meg too. These days we have this Shrek style of humour in most 3D animations but in the 90s it was still quite original cause the films prior to it were a little more serious. I also remember feeling awkward when Meg tried to seduce Hercules cause I was too young to really understand and I was more use to Princesses like Cinderella and Belle 😂...but I do love Meg. I feel like out of all the "Princesses" she is the most realistic/ relatable in many ways.
Yeah, Hades and Meg were both fascinating characters. In the collection of Disney Princesses, I think Meg is so unique in both her character traits and her mannerisms, and I agree, she feels grounded in a way that many others don't. Also... I'm imagining you being confused by Meg and Hercules as a kid hahaha
@@nickreacts6394 hahaha yeah it was specifically the part where her strap was off her shoulder...pretty risqué for Disney but it's funny looking back on it now :)
I love how this is a Greek myth, but it's told through Soul music, and most of the side characters use Yiddish terms like "Furshlugginer" "Yutz" and "Schlemiel"
I LOVE this movie. Hades is one of my fav Villains if not my fav. I have to be honest I prefer the Spanish version (doblada Al Castellano). Ricky Martin does Hercules's voice and the actor who does Hades's voice is SO talented and well known in Latin America. I guess that kinda makes the difference. If I didn't know the Spanish version I'm not sure I'd say this is one of my fav Disney movies. It's so amazing how in these kinds of movies voice-overs are SO important. The animation of this movie is not one of my fav 💔 (I'm referring to Hydra's animation I feel it's just not good enough)
Hiya Nick! I watched this earlier today but forgot to comment. I'm fostering 2 kittens recently rescued. Anyways, this is a basically fun movie, the art design is great and pretty much what you would expect being Greek based lol. It's not one of my favorite Disney films, pretty much on my- B shelf I think. You had fun watching I could tell lol. 😁 Have a nice week. 🌻🍂🌻🍁🌻🍂
In the original myth Hercules or actually Heracles is one of Zeus MANY bastard children with mortal women. Hera making his life a hell from the get go cursed him with madness were he killed his wife which I think was Megara and there children at one point.
This isn't one of the most classic of the Renaissance titles, but I love this movie. The song Go the Distance got me through some really hard times as a young adult, trying to figure out my gender identity and what I wanted to do with my life. It's up there with Reflection as a song that brings different comfort to queer people.
There was a 2 part mini series that is more like 2 different movies about hercules in 2005, it was actually really good!!, also tries to stick close to the the "True" story and myths of Hercules. :)
the hydra thing always kinda bothered me cause it was supposed to already have 9 heads not just 1 and although I hate how Hades is always portrayed to be a villain it was a fun movie overall
I was thinking the same thing about the Hydra heads, although I thought this film took liberties from the source material in a humorous and respectful way, and like you said, it was fun
Dude you cut out a huge part in the middle where Hercules and Meg fall in love and she and the Muses sing one of my fave songs. Was it cuz of copyright or what....?
As a kid I hated this film so much. I was a Greek Mythology need and I was like: "Hades didn't hate Hercules. Hera was the one who kept trying to ruin his life! Hades and Hercules were actually kind of bros! Stop trying to make Hades into Satan, Hollywood!" As an adult, I've mostly gotten over it. Although, I do think making Megara his main love interest is a little weird considering what happens to her in the original myth.
@@nickreacts6394 I was hoping you would answer this question. My personal choice would be the "Black Magic" for films but it has a lot of cons. The FX3 is really great though and it shows. It's honestly so commendable how you manage to juggle work plus learning this camera, plus editing, plus learning about lighting as well....if you're new to the technical stuff it can be seriously overwhelming so good on you for taking on the challenge :)
As an adult, my favorite line is when the trapped boys say, “Someone call IXII!”
Same! My bro and I quote that all the time. So funny and clever
One of the rare instances that you need to know Roman numerals! This, the Superbowls, and movie copyright dates. 😆

The whole “Indoor Plumbing...it’s going to be big" line stuck with me to this day.
One of Phil's first lines, "Two words: I am retired," was actually a reference to the Greek translation which is only 2 words (Είμαι συνταξιούχος)
I always wondered if that phrase in Greek was two words.
It could be only two words in English if Phil phrased it as “I’m retired”

It’s so weird how Disney turns gruesome stories into children’s movies😂. Like Heracles legit kills Meg in the original story😂
So true! Next in the Disney lineup: "Oedipus Goes on a Field Trip... and learns a Valuable Lesson"...
Also, Zeus wasn’t such a great family man, and Hades was a lot more of a saint.
@@osmanyousif7849 I still think Hercules would have gotten Phil's respect quicker if he'd told him he was Hera's son. Now THAT'S actually special!

“I am retired” in Greek is actually two words so Phil was technically correct

Great choice! Definitely worth buying on Blu-Ray
The two best Mythology movies that involve stop motion are Jason and the Argonauts and Clash of the Titans.
My two favorite Hades... Disney's version and Lore Olumpsus' version... although they are completely opposite 😂
the only way they could've made this better is if they gave Hades a song

It's a Sony Fx3.. quite the investment, but as an aspiring filmmaker I think it's a good choice
@@nickreacts6394 I was hoping you would answer this question. My personal choice would be the "Black Magic" for films but it has a lot of cons. The FX3 is really great though and it shows. It's honestly so commendable how you manage to juggle work plus learning this camera, plus editing, plus learning about lighting as well....if you're new to the technical stuff it can be seriously overwhelming so good on you for taking on the challenge :)
it's cerberus
He accidentally kills his wife and children. Hera sends a blight of a rage down upon him.
I am retired actually is 2 words in Greek
Phil shouldve really been Chiron im just sayin
Why do you do that with your closet?!? Lol 😂it's scary
V E R Y LOOSELY based on the mythology of HERCULES.
This movie is genuinely so good until you start comparing it to the actual mythology and then it's infuriating
