Like it or hate it, Disney's Hercules did do something right. they managed to summarize about 90% of Greek mythology with 5 simple words.
And then along came ZEUS
@@moe3343 🎶he hurled his thunderbolt🎶
@@epictoe7179 locked those suckers in a vault
Wich ones?
@@moe3343yup that exactly it
Fun fact:
When Hades says "It's only half-time" during the hydra fight it literally is. The moment he says that is exactly halfway through the movie.
Something else strange about that Zeus can't be your dad scene is that I'm pretty sure in a time in Greece it was more common to be zeus's son than being left handed.
I joke about my friend about how half of Greece is Zeus kids
@@painvillegaming41191/2 are Zeus' kids, 1/4 are Poseidon's, and the other 1/4 are just desperately trying to avoid dating Apollo
@@CoRLex-jh5vxAnd many are multiple.
@@LiMe251 fr. Most of the 'normal' people in myths are royalty who are probably descended from nymphs or something anyway. Literally no one is just a plain old human lmao
the
"I know there's a good song here somewhere."
Me: "Yes."
Please, this is one of the movies that goes the hardest in songs.
Fun fact: Megara was a character from the original Heracles story. Meg was Heracles's wife, and, unfortunately, Hera decided to curse Heracles with madness, causing Heracles to kill Megara
And all their children 🙃
I love that James Woods said he'd always reprise his role as Hades no matter what. Even for free. He just loves the character so much. Love him in kingdom hearts too.
Michael Bolton’s performance of “I can go the distance”, is top 3 Disney performances, along with Elton John’s “can you feel the love tonight”, and somebody else can pick the 3rd one.
Our amazing Devito said the same about Phil ❤
@@vriamars Unfortunately though, I recall them basically turning Phil into a mute in most of the Kingdom Hearts games. Because his Japanese voice actor had passed away, according to what I heard. And also from what I heard, Japan supposedly hates replacing voice actors out of respect for whoever voiced the character originally.
@@gurvmlk 100% true, japan doesnt like to recast voice actors because i think they believe it's disrespectful on the person's work. The Japanese eggman voice actor passed away around 2015 or 2018.
@@mr.unpopularopinion6431 Which I just think is ridiculous. But that's probably because I don't live in Japan.
"Zeus' life could be written as a Law and Order: SVU episode."
I've never heard such a succinct summary of Greek mythology
Episode? A WHOLE FUCNING SEASON
Zazu: " he would make a very handsome throw rug"
I will always laugh at Hades getting mad at pain and panic for wearing herc’s merch
Some fun facts about the movie:
- Disney wanted it to have it's premiere on the Pnyx hill, but the Greek government rejected it. This because the Greek press watched the movie in advanced for their reviews and they absolutly destroyed it.
- Hades was originally going to be darker, more serious and menacing, but when James Woods was casted, they changed his character to be more like him.
- When Tate Donovan was casted as Hercules, he told his family, but they thought he was casted in the live action Hercules show of 1995.
- If in the film's universe only "True heros" have access to Olympus, then Narcisus did something to be one cause he's not a god. (Which makes it sad for Megara cause she saved Hercules, and she should be considered a true heroin and go to Olympus at the end along with Hercules).
- The Muses (like half the gods in Olympus) are also Zeuz's daughters. Therefore, the muse Thalia actually has a crush on her half-brother Hercules.
- When Pain and Panic are "trapped" under the rocks, one shouts "Call IXII". This is 911 in Roman numbers, but it can also be 112, the current Greek emergency number.
- It took 18 months to animate the Hydra scene.
- Director Ron Clements said the reason they used Gospel music was because this genre touches the themes of hope, idealism, and larger-than-life destinies, and that was perfect for Greek mythology.
- Just like many other films, Disney wanted it to have a straight-to-DVD sequel. This would have been called "Hercules II: The Trojan War". Hebe was going to be the daughter of Hercules and Megara. Helen would have a been a friend of Hercules, and was going to be kidnap by Paris, the villan in this sequel. And that was going to make Hercules join the Greek side. I ignore if they ended up using ideas for this cancelled sequel in the TV show.
some of these "facts" was already brought up. No need to rewrite them
I like the way Hades is always described as a bad, mean villain. But actually he’s the only one who does what he’s supposed to do and doesn’t get every living being he comes across pregnant.
The one bad thing Hades does is kidnap a girl, Persephone... with Zeus' permission because the guy was head over heels for her, but knew her mother, Demeter, would not allow her to go with Hades. Her mother threw a tantrum and caused nothing to grow, causing Winter, so Zeus had to have Hades release her so people could grow food again.
He does trick her into eating some fruit of the underworld, requiring her to remain there for a third of the year, and her mother would throw more tantrums, resulting in Winter. Even then, Persephone and Hades absolutely love one another, so it would not surprise me if she knew exactly what he was pulling, but did it anyway to give herself an excuse to be with her husband that her mother could not contest.
The game "Hades" besides being fantastic, is a more accurate telling of the Hades mythos (perhaps with a bit of fudging on the Persephone kidnapping depending on what source you draw from). It's basically an opposite telling of the myth to this movie. I enjoy them both, of course. If you're a fan of mythology, you really have to get used to different tellings of the same stories, ha ha.
@@KingofStrawberriesactually the fruit was a lie by Zeus so she stay for like a third of the years eith hades and to calm demeter
@@painvillegaming4119 Or, there are many, many, MANY different versions of different myths, and some are not more correct than others.
@@squidyminegaming3314 I mean yeah that is also true
Fun fact Megara’s voice actress, Susan Egan, also voices Rose Quartz in Steven Universe
This was the comment I was looking for.
Was hoping someone would mention this
They said that in the video... Or one of them seemed surprised that none of the others had brought up that it was Rose Quartz... Or something like that... Or is this some kind of running/inside joke that I wasn't aware of? Oh well, no biggie.
She also originated the role of Belle in the Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast.
I have no idea who Rose Quartz is lol
What’s funny about this is out of all the stories about these gods, Hades is actually the "nicest god". Good god the stories of all these gods are crazy. Zeus is crazy and “sleeps with” everything. Everything. I'm convinced that Zeus himself wrote that movie script.
The only reason he kidnapped Persephone was because he got relationship advice from Zeus.
@@nopressure6986 "Nah, just kidnapp her. Works for me."
@@nopressure6986in some versions of the story, Persephone went willingly, and in many others, Zeus did all the kidnapping and Hades was made to clean up the mess.
@@nopressure6986to be fair to Zeus he knew Demeter won’t let her daughter go
@@painvillegaming4119He would know -- he was her father, making Hades her uncle.
28:38 Little fun fact: Hercules and Scar were both animated by the same guy, Disney animator Andreas Deja. That scene is a little "hidden Mickey" referencing him. He also animated Jafar, Gaston, Lilo, Mama Odie and a LOT of Mickey Mouse.
There was a tv series of Hercules growing up and going to school. They were able to explore more mythology including Zues and Prometheus.
There was even a crossover of Hercules and Aladdin
Love the bit when the Titans show up and Hades like Bois... that way lol
The Fates knew Hades was going to fail, they said "indoor plumbing. It's going to be big".
When Hades disappeared, there's a toilet flush sound effect.
People love to repeat thousands of times that this movie isn't accurate to greek mythology, and while that's true, it's still a very entertaining movie.
Wait until they see Bambi and realize animals don't talk
I still don't understand the complain, oh gee the disney movie doesn't show the horrible acts that happened in greek mythology like what did they expect?
@@reakefit7304 Well on one side I agree that making Hades the vilain is a lazy death=hell=evil christian value that they shoehorned on a character who is a lot more complex and interesting normally.
But like, that's a short movie mostly here for fun where the muses sing jazz right at the start of the movie. So really, who cares ?
Now if a whole book series supposedly trying to do a "modern take" on greek mythology like percy jackson did the lazy Hades=hell=demon christian values shoehorn, now that would be a shame...oh wait
@@naproupiI hope your not saying he is looked at that way in percy jackson. It was like that in the first book, but demigod opinion on hades changes throughout the books, from him being the way you said to him being just another God, also in the books percy says as his reward for saving olympus, he wants Hades and Hestia to have their own thrones on Olympus, so that they are honored the way they should be.
@@bendysbrother7447 well I saw movie one where he is 100% that and that was one of the reason I never checked the books
The other to be honest was probably that I was already too old to appreciate it the same way I appreciated other books targeted at teenagers.
If you say it gets better on that side then that's great I guess
25:18 Not seeing anyone else touching on this, but to explain the Lion: It was the Nemean Lion, whose fur and skin were supposedly unbreakable. It was wreaking havok in Nemea until Hercules killed it via strangulation after he realized his weapons couldn't do anything to it.
I miss animations like this, not just from Disney but animation studios. My favorite animated movies are Treasure planet and Atlantis lost empire.
Yeah that was a golden age.
Mint fucking movies. Atlantis is my favourite animated movie and I only with the sequel was better.
I bawled my eyes out watching treasure planet as an 8 year old because one day a few years earlier my dad left.. I related so much to the protagonist. Now I'm almost 27 and I still haven't seen my dad since then and treasure planet is like a switch, if I watch the intro I just cry.
Brother bear is another weak spot of mine lol
Hercules still holds up good to this very day, the animation and the music were the best.
Honestly I hate this movie now due to growing up loving mythology and this movie has so many timeline changes, story changes that don't make sense, good movie but bad mythological accuracy
Also hercules is roman, heracles is Greek due to him changing his name to appeal to hera, his actual name is alcides
@@duskthegamer4129eeeeh nobody really care Disney never fallow mythology and the movie is still good
@@duskthegamer4129dude this movie was made suitable for kids and adults, do you really think they could have shown this movie in its 100% accuracy? Could they present Hera in a positive light and give her more screentime without pissing off people who know the real myths about her?
“Feelthosetitties”. What a perfect name for a satyr. 😆 Unintentionally perfect too, since he didn’t know yet what Phil was gonna be.
I love how you guy's appreciate the older 2-d animation movies.
Fun Fact: in the movie The adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, during the chase scene near the end the background is actually painted Paine Glass so during filming the stage hands had to seamlessly change the glass panels as the scene progressed. Time, effort, and love like that is hardly seen today in newer animations.
Once I saw this comment that said "the biggest historical inaccuracy that Disney has ever committed is portraying Zeus as a happy family man" and that gets me every time. And making Hades a bad guy sucks!
Hades has a loving wife that he doesnt cheat on, the trials he gives are fair, he isn't a serial rapist and kidnapping his wife was technically an arranged marriage since zeus said he could and even brought up the kidnapping in the first place
You've only seen the comment once?
I love Greek mythology but I also love this movie. I think watching it as a kid is what made me interested, just saw it for the first time in 20 years or so the other day..
Even Disney can only stretch the truth so far- they didn't actually managed to turn him into a good dad. The best they managed to do was a kind of clueless, enthusiastic arm-chair quarterback guy who doesn't offer actual guidance or support. You'll note that there is not one line of actually good advice given by Zeus- it all comes from either Hercules's adoptive father, or Phil.
i love how Hercules bought his parents a mansion 😭 such a good son.
The concept art for this movie was done by artist Gerald Scarfe, who also made the animations for the Pink Floyd movie "The Wall", great artist with a unique style, and it shows, that's why these characters are completely different from other classic Disneyesque style movies we see over and over.
Hades is one of the few Disney villains to survive falling of a cliff and unlike Scar nothing killed him afterwards.
Uhm he's literally immortal.
@@MsAngelique Yep, and he will probably regret that fact since he will be stuck in there for centuries if he doesn't get out of there.
Hercules is one of my mom's top favorite disney movies! Glad this movie got most votes for the next movie reaction 😄
Also yes... Disney (like always) are planning to make a live action remake of hercules 🙄
And fun fact! Meg's voice actress is Rose Quartz's voice in Steven Universe! 😄
Whoever decided to mix a Greco-Roman myth with Gospel Music deserves a bigger raise then they probably got. I also kinda like the subtle undertone of Hercules being a Rocky-esque character, Phil is his Mickey and he coaches him like a boxing match.
Yes a lot of the movie covers elements of the Hercules/Heracles mythos, with a mix of some others, though of course they are also very liberal with the canon given how problematic all the key characters are and a lot of grisly fate, including Meg who was murdered by Hercules with their children in a house fire after Hera drove him mad, thus begetting the 12 Labors.
Also yeah the Olympians are Hades' siblings, nephews and nieces (and because inbreeding also cousins and in-laws) but the titans - and cyclops - are also his uncles given how they were children of Gaia, plus Aphrodite since in some cases she is born from the severed testicle of Cronus.
'Go the Distance' is sang by Michael Bolton btw
Also Zazu did say that Scar'd make a handsome throw rug
"My man is collumn blocking!" 😂 Hilarious underrated joke here, how did the other guys not catch or laugh at that!?!
28:16 Titbit: Scar being put in this movie was building on a joke Zazu made about Scar in The Lionking, stating:
"He'd make a very handsome throw rug"
Such a great classic Disney movie and one of my favorites cause I'm a huge mythology nerd and I will always find it hilarious that they made the snakes be sent by hades
I'm guessing Meg is a stand in for Megara a Theban princess and Hercules first wife that he killed when Hera drove him mad, depending on the source material.
In the actress's IMDB they list the character, for various appearances, as Megara... Either they are assuming or it actually was meant to be Megara... Although her story is pretty different in this version, it seems.
There’s a little detail I like at 6:52 which is it’s beginning it’s storm, which tells us just how angry and worried Zeus is over his son’s disappearance.
I remember watching this once with my cousin, back when my family used to have us visit them. I later watched this a lot at home.
The songs still slap till this day. 😌👌
Alan Menken is just the GOAT for Disney movies. All his movie scores just bang.
35:52 What if Meg got a paper cut and Hercules got his strength back and beat the cyclops? 😂
She literally could've immediately slapped herself hard enough that it hurt, and he gets his strength back.
@@PaulW_ftPAULKdidnt say self harm doesn’t count. That’d work!
@@ThatNerdKM and if self harm doesn't count, then Phil slaps her.
(At 4:54) And I *definitely* like Typhon and Echidnes second born child, and everyone's favorite… "Cerberus"
Though, I am a little annoyed that all of his siblings were murdered by demigods… for entertainment, Three of them were killed by Hercules or "Heracles" as it was pronounced.
His brother opeaus " not sure thats how its spelled" survived. He had 2 heads and a mane made of snakes.
@@matthewchristian9591 No, he didn't. I know for a fact "Orthus" was DEFINITELY among the three of Cerberus's siblings that were killed by Hercules. Along with is three-headed master "Greyon", before having his cattle stolen.
So, during his 1st, 2nd, and 10th (The one where centered on) labors, Hercules killed three of Cerberus's brothers.
Fun fact. Josh Keaton who voiced Spectacular Spider-Man also voiced Hercules. Also Meg is 38 while Herc is 18
One great moment I remember from the German version of this movie was when Hades called Megara his 'Chicken Meg Nugget'.
I LOVE this movie, It's maybe the movie I've seen the most times cause I used to watch it every time I went to my moms work as a kid.
Fun Fact: The whole dramatic reveal of Hercules' thread becoming un-cuttable because he achieved godly status wouldn't have worked in actual mythology AT ALL.
One of the most important aspects of the thread being cut is that it is possible for every living being INCLUDING deities (and of course inevitable for mortals) however their destinies generally don't forsee them dying so it doesn't happen. The point is that they totally COULD kill a deity by cutting their thread.
One of my favorite Disney movies. Hercules is still a blast! Love the Muses
Hercules did have a TV series, which also used From Zero To Hero as its theme song btw
Also the series had a crossover episode with Aladdin called Hercules and the Arabian Night
I definitely recommend checking out the Hercules animated series. It was pretty good it takes place somewhere in between Hercules training. It's not canon giving that Hades knows Hercules is alive in the series despite the movie showing that he thought he was dead at first than finding out he wasn't. But all in all really good series to do a reaction to there's even a crossover episode or episodes where Hercules teams up with Aladdin from the Aladdin movie.
Fun fact: The story is partially straight up based on Superman’s origin story
That makes sense
Well you can’t show actual Greek Mythology in a Disney movie. It’d get cancelled sooner than you can say the name of your favorite myth
The soundtrack for this movie is amazing
Somehow, Go The Distance by Ricky Martin was my favorite over Michael Bolton.
@@Samgreen90 I like both
(At 33:30) well I can say one thing about Hades he does keep his promises, even if they do backfire on him and if he's manipulating from the sidelines.
If you guys haven't checked it out yet, Akira is probably the best example of cell shading animation.
Thanks guys for reacting to this. This is one of my favorite Disney movies of the time. Interesting tidbit, this is pretty much similar to Superman and Rocky.
I mean think about this:
*Hercules's parents Zeus and Hera (Disney wise) - Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van (DC): Superman's Kryptonian Parents*
*Hercules's adoptive parents Amphitryon and Alcmene (Disney wise) - Martha and Jonathan Kent (DC): Superman's Adoptive Parents*
*Hercules's strength and Pegasus (Disney) - Embodiment of Superman's powers (Strength and Flight, along with his other powers)*
*Hercules's trainer Phil (Disney) - Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen (DC) and Rocky's trainer Mickey Goldmill/Duke/Apollo Creed (Rocky)*
*Hercules's love Meg (Disney) - Superman's love Lois Lane (DC)*
*Hercules's foe, Hades (Disney) - Superman's foes, Darkseid/General Zod/Lex Luthor/Brainiac/Metallo etc.(DC)*
The Song Go the Distance and the quote from this movie was also similar:
*Go the Distance (Hercules) - Going the Distance (Rocky)*
*"For a True Hero is never measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart/But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part, for a hero's strength is measured by his heart" (Hercules) - Back on the beat, back to the start, trust in your heart, That's the measure of a Man." (Rocky)*
Looking back to this
This is literally just Supermans story in disney form
(At 22:55) Cerberus's little brother, The Lermian Hydra.
Originally Disney wanted Hades to sound similar to Jafar or Scar. So James Wood auditioned doing a car salesman voice as a joke and Disney liked it and gave him the part.
1:13 can relate 😂 I tried playing KH1 again after years and it was so painful 😭🤚
Hades is the best character
(At 25:05) Cerberus's baby brother, the Nemian Lion.
Love this movie!! Disney renaissance (90’s) is definitely my fav era! Pls do the hunchback of Notre Dame!
It’s Notre french is hard
This was my absolute favorite Disney movie growing up (mostly because of Pegasus), and I will always enjoy this movie
6:20 Unfortunately, this will probably never happen as Disney has completely dismantled their 2D animation studio, and everyone who knew how to do 2D animation is either retired or dead. It took them considerable effort and several favors to make The Princess and the Frog as a last hurrah to the medium. It would be even harder now. They'd basically have to start from square one.
If you want 2D animation, watch anime. That's all you're getting.
Image this:
Zeus, Hades, Posiden are all brothers that defeated their father, Kronos, God of Time, and leader of the 20 titans. Sounds like the plot of a good Shounen anime. Love that.
No, the primordial god of time was Chronos, Kronos/Cronos was the Titan of The Harvest.
@@LiMe251 Spelling mistake
@@tommcburney301 No.
Have you guys seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit? That's a good movie for a reaction and it's _really_ impressive. You can tell it was a labor of love.
If you ever watched Hercules the Legendary Journey with Kevin Sorbo growing up, that Hades (and Ares) were pretty badass too
Classic show! That and Xena Warrior Princess need major reactions on youtube!
7:15 "Should Hercules fight, you will fail"
21:10 There's another notch in the scissors, does that imply something like this has happened before?
In Lion King Zazu exclaims that Scar “would make a very handsome throw rug”
Lola was deffo a childhood crush. Growing up in the 90s-00s meant there were quite a few. Roxanne from the Goofy Troop movie was definitely also on the anthropomorphic side.
If you notice the little detail. At the start he walks sorta pigeon toed. A sign he lacks confidence and is a very timid awkward kid. But by the end he's brimming with confidence in himself and has stopped pigeon toeing
oh you guys are gonna love this, especially the narrators 😁
Fun nerdy fact about one of the jokes in this movie. When Phil says "I got two words for ya" gets zapped and goes "Okay." The greek equivalent of Okay is actually 2 words.
(At 24:47) the Aramantian Boar. I don't remember Hercules killing this pig.
Hearing you yelling, "GET UP ON THE HYDRA'S BACK!" just made my day. I do agree that Kingdom Hearts 1 is rough, but Kingdom Hearts 2 is a masterpiece!
Im with SeeOhKnee, every time I watch a Disney movie I think how it would be with Sora, Donald and Goofy. Love this movie still.
Also fun little KH3 fact, you can find the little herc figures all around Coliseum, and a few other references straight from this movie.
When top right said “did he make you fight a lion” I lost my shit 😂
2:32 Bro literally just described Hercules' actual origin on accident, that's crazy.
(At 3:55) Bullshit! Pegasus was born with Medusa got decapitated by Perseus, after Poseidon knocked her up before his niece, Athena, cursed her.
This film might be completely different from the myths it's based on, but it is without a doubt adored by my family.
I quote "You are correct sir" on a regular basis.
"I know there's a good song in here"
Yeah, it's the entire movie.
"This movie is 26 years old."
I didn't come here to be personally attacked.
2:31 Zeus famously changed into a swan so he could have “fun” with another swan, yes Zeus “did” a swan just cause he thought the swan was pretty. Also the reason Hercules had to do the trials in the first place was because he (under mind control) killed his wife and children.
"This is really victim blaming when you get down to the core of it" well, that's nothing new for Hercules. He got those 12 labors for under shady circumstances.
Disney made this movie because they got such backlash from people on the way they did “Pocahontas” and “Hunchback of Notre Dame” saying they were too dark. James Woods is such a great actor for Hades. After he was cast as Hades they had to rewrite the character cause he was written as a slow menacing character. Woods told Disney anytime they need this character voiced in a video or a game to call him and he will do it. When he found out that Disney was going over budget on this film he offered to refund his salary to make sure the film was completed. Disney declined his offer and found another way to complete it. When he’s slurping his drink Woods is eating a watermelon to make the slurping sound. 22:53 the Hydra is the only CGI in the film. Everything else is hand drawn. It would’ve taken too many hours for the artists to draw and animate all the heads. 25:28 yeah because later you see him with Scar’s pelt posing for a picture.
(At 2:30) neither is his brother Poseidon. I mean he forced himself on Medusa, and look what happened!
In the original story When Hercules finally died, his mortal form was burned away. And all that was left was his godly form. And it was then that he ascended to mount olympus. I would assume that once this Hercules lives out his mortal life. The same thing will happen. His mortal self will be burned away and he will be elevated to the ranks of the gods. Also, it was originally 12 labors, but he accidentally cheated on 2 of them. So he had to do another too so technically it was fourteen labors But nobody counts the fact that he had helped on 2 of them. I believe the both of them are when he accidentally ended up deposing his own Cousin's dad and then put the cousin on the throne Because he was angry about the way the cousin's dad treated the trial and said that he cheated just because he did something smart by diverting a river to clean out the stable. And then when he went to haphestus To have a magical device that was essentially a bell. Clapper made to get the herpes to fly up so he could kill them With his bow. But because he had to get secondary help that one did not count towards the actual trial ether
The hydra in this movie is supposed to be the thesel hydra. It was locked away by the gods out of pure fear. Its venom could kill even a titan herc even dipped some of his arrows in its venom to use later. Its claws and teeth could actually tear them apart. It was one of the most dangerous monsters in greek mythology.
Lola Bunny was my first cartoon crush. The concept of furries doesn't apply when you're under 10 years old, okay? Stop giving him shit for a perfectly valid crush on a hot rabbit 😂
In other news, Hercules is my favorite Disney movie of all time, and I really hope whenever they do the inevitable live action remake, they don't entirely fuck it up.
I mean the reason why they don’t do classic animation like this is because it’s INCREDIBLY expensive, a whole minute of hand drawn animation can cost 1,000 to 10,000 dollars, it takes a lot of time because they have to hand draw every frame.
I FUCKING LOVE THIS MOVIE!~ SO HAPPY YOU GUYS WATCHED IT!~ Q_Q every song is amazing, i met the muses at disneyland one year and they were totally shocked they were recognized, i cried. Love to the Sorta Stupid Squad!~
"Lola B." was in my list. ("Space Jam" only)
Since Meg getting hurt broke the contract, and returned Hercules' strength, couldn't a lot of what happened been avoided by Meg waiting until Hades had left the scene, and then convinced some random passerby to give her a black eye?
Awesome reaction guys this probably my favourite Disney movies great imagination awesome songs love the gospel and rock twist!😊
I forgot how much I love this movie. Thanks for reacting to it!
Meg did exist in the mythology. She was Princess of Thebes, and married to Hercules.
There actually IS a thing at the end of the movie credits, but it's just audio of Hades ranting if I remember correctly.
A little fun fact in regards to Cerberus, Hercules actually tamed him to gain entrance into the Underworld. To do this you have to give a honey cake to each head of the demonic canine.
Also about the snakes and Hercules...yeah, in the original mythology Hera sent them. She did not care for the fact that Zeus was sleeping with another woman(even though he slept around with other women, men and anything thay breathed by this time) and sought revenge against his son. Ironically enough Hades was considered the most benevolent Greek deity among the pantheon.
But Greek mythology is very confusing and pretty adult rated. So Disney had to take a lot of creative liberties out of necessity. I can't even say the rest without getting my comment removed so take that for what you will...😅
I love the idea that the muscles and hunkiness do nothing for Herculess, since he already has super strength, but Phil trained him to look better for the action figure deal.
14:57 I find it funny that Phil is laughing about how Hercules could be Zeus’s kid, when in reality most people in Greek mythology are probably his kid
I noticed a few years ago that Megara is 10 years older than Hercules in the movie. She's 28, he's 18, which TOTALLY explains how she was acting towards the guy.
The voice actress for Meg is rose quartz (Steven universe) 😁
Fun fact: Of all the Olympians, Hades is one of the nicest... which is saying a lot.
He also never had the wish to rule over the world, he knew that someone had to take care of the underworld and through the history of the greek mythology, he helped Humans, Gods and Heros.
He even went out of his way to go to the Olympus and warned the Gods of upcoming evil.
So the portrail of Disney is realy downwashed just because he is the ruler of the Underworld.
On the other hand, they give Hera a way to good look, as she was the one that wanted to murder Hercules.
I agree that at least 90% of the people had a crush on THAT lola bunny
Hman, meg is based on megara, heracles first wife. Hera made him go mad and kill her and his 2 sons in the myths, he went to the oracle of delphi after, and she told him to complete 12 labors for his cousin, who was a king.
So It turns out in the movie, when Hercules says, it's only half -time, we are actually half into the movie
