@@Kaluzaa22 right? And he is buff enough right now too. I would just pull the iron man trick in the beginning where you get a skinny dude and plaster Aaron’s face on him. No clue if the guy can sing though… if they did do a musical.
@@Fruitloop398 He was in a band in his movie "Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging" and they have a song on Spotify. I think he only sang backup for it and they mixed with the lead vocals, but I'm not sure! Either way, I think he looks the part enough that they'd just get someone else to sing for him if he couldn't do it!
Dude, that’s the first good one I’ve heard for Hercules. People also really seem to like Elizabeth Gillies for Megara and I can kind of see that working too. Edit: Autocorrect kept correcting Megara to Megan’s
I'd love that. Recently I watched ana Karina and was telling a friend this guy is just so breathtakingly beautiful I don't understand why he didn't get more famous. He's particularly stunning with lighter colored hair.
It's already beautiful, animated. Live action wouldn't do this justice. There's no other Disney film that gives off this same feeling, the same warmth that this version of Hercules has. It's a classic in my books
Yeah.. in general I love animation and I always feel like remaking animated movies into life action somewhat ilegitimizes the original, the art and craftsmanship and all the creative freedom that painted pictures can have, like its only a "real" movie when its with real actors, not just voice actors. Hand drawn animation is timeless, they could just rerelease the movies and it would work fine. And the real life remakes rarely added anything positive to the animated versions.
People are sleeping on the concept of the live action Hunchback of Notre Dame. It’s the only one I can think of that was brought down by the more cartoonish parts. It would lend itself really well for live action, plus they can add some of the stuff from the stage musical.
If it got a live action remake that toned down the cartoonish gargoyle bits (but keep the one super important line from them I can’t quote without butchering), keep the more morbid tone and absolutely NAIL the villain and Hellfire? I’d probably watch that idk
@@brytonup1551 the woman* it’s really not that hard to let go of underlying misogyny in your vocabulary. her name is rachel miner btw and yes she has a deep voice, but she also struggles with mobility issues. I’d love to see her in the role, but I don’t think disney is ready to put in the effort for a disabled lead quite yet.
Fun fact: they originally wanted the Spice Girls to be the Muses but there were scheduling issues. As a fan of them that would have been awesome but I still love the way it turned out!
I think another good choice for Meg would be Cristin Milioti from Palm Springs. She could nail the sass/attitude, and she has singing chops (she was in Once on Broadway)
This was like my FAVORITE movie as a kid, so it was really funny to me hearing him keep going "wait I don't remember this!" about, like, major plot points that I have memorized front to back. Although, I will admit, I really didn't remember the Female Pegasus bit. It's totally a My Little Pony reference, though, it's even got a cutie mark
Personally, I think that I should be cast to play Meg. But that's just me. Favorite Disney movie, the best soundtrack! If they do a live-action they need to keep the opening song, it pumps me up so much.
I have seriously been waiting for a highlights video of this!!! This is actually one of my favorite tracks to go back to and rewatch because Hercules is such an amazing movie, Danny Devito and all!!!!
Honestly this has the best live action potential bc no one expects anything from it. It was underrated in ‘97, so it’d be underrated now - perfect time to blow everyone out of the water
Honestly, this will always be the most badass Disney movie to me, cause there's something extremely cool about Herc going into, what I'm guessing is, River Styx, and pulling Meg's soul out of it, and just casually walking out. Fucking love it.
So, this is one of my favorite Disney movies ever. Go the Distance is by far my favorite non-villain song in Disney's catalog. However, when I watch this I have to ignore a lot of what I know about Greek Mythology. Oddly enough, I think this would be fantastic Superman movie.
Just watching the first one and a half minutes of the video: There is something so magical and rapturous about animated movie musicals! Thank you, Howard Ashman, for revolutionizing the genre at Disney in the late 80s!
I don't think any mainstream actress is the right pick for Meg. It has to be spot on, not close enough. She's one of the most unique Disney princess ever created, and deserves to be accurate.
we're not live anymore but you can rewatch WANGERS KARAOKE VOL 3 here: th-cam.com/video/b9xKPt5gon4/w-d-xo.html (can't edit out that intro part til Disney takes off their copyright claim... oops...)
This has always been my favourite Disney movie and no matter how good a live action movie is, I just don't think it could capture how much fun and colour the original has. It's a shame they never made a sequel because this is one of the few animated Disney movies that feels like you could carry on the story with
Hey all! Who would love to see Pretty Much It do a commentary on the Martian? They mentioned it on one of their other episodes, and I think it's the perfect movie for the show. Love the work, as always.
if devito cant make it, Stavros Halkias might make a decent replacement, aesthetically and in terms of the animal-like funny-guy behavior. Also hes greek (woke score +1) And at this point a major movie role might be the only way he can still win the break-up
This isn’t necessarily my favorite Disney movie, but there’s something I loved about it so intensely as a kid. Live-action Hercules are just never as good and idk if even Disney would be able to recreate this magic tbh. This was the whole package.
MEG AND MOTHER GOTHEL FROM TANGLED ARE THE ONLY TWO CHARACTERS IN ALL OF DISNEY TO CALL SOMEONE “Ya big Lug” and the theory goes that the sunflower that Rupunzel gets her Powers from came from the same drop of sunlight from the sky 🌌 HERCULES. Hercules is the drop of sunlight that left that powerful flower in the place of he’s landing and that’s not even half the theory covered. Meg is Mother GOTHEL!!!!!!
Sad that he would have been perfect for the role because Hercules is supposed to be 18 and Meg is nearly 30 and that's around the same age diference between him and his groomer wife. I think he's too old to play him now, in a few years the Heartstopper kid would've been perfect, he looks the part!
Hercules - Aaron Taylor Johnson Meg - Liz Gilles Phil - Danny Devito Hades - John Lithgow (as payback from getting the original role stolen by James Woods) Pain & Panic - Key & Peele Zeus - Kurt Russell Hera - Susan Egan The Muses - Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, H.E.R., Alicia Keys, and Lizzo
what im hoping for in the live action is they do a 1 for 1 remake of the cartoon but then when hercules brings meg back, she just turns into a full on zombie and the last quarter of the movie is just hercules fighting zombies
Not that I think anyone will care or think that I'm telling the truth, but my grandfather Hal Holbrook plays Hercules' human father (the old farmer man, I forget his name).
What about the whole dancing and talking frog parts though? That’s how the main characters are most of the movie and I don’t want to see “live action” CG frogs 😭
Something about Scar to note: He is worn like the Lion that Hercules killed with his bare hands because it’s hide was impervious to any attack. Which means Scar has a hide that is impervious to any attack.
Not Ariana Grande for Meg, but how about her friend/ former cast mate, Liz Gillies? She can definitely do snark and she has a great voice!
Yes Ariana and Pete Davidson as Hercules. 🙌🙌
This is my favorite fan casting🎉
Jenna Ortega!!!
THIIIIISSSS
Liz Gillies would be great for it!
i want phil to either be danny devito in a cheap satyr costume or just danny in his regular clothes. it's the only way i will accept that role
Man-cheetah or we riot
It's going to be James Corden and we all know it.
@@SnailLordNeon NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO
@@SnailLordNeon You bitch- don't you dare even suggest that
@@SnailLordNeon NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I like the idea of Aaron Taylor Johnston being Hercules… he does kind of look like the cartoon version
Holy shit, you're right

Y'all really went the distance with the harmonizing in that intro ✨
Alllison's voice is incredibleee
If Liz Gillies isn't meg ill riot. She's got the voice, looks, and attitude to do it perfectly
It's not attitude, it is bored tactfulness
It's already beautiful, animated. Live action wouldn't do this justice. There's no other Disney film that gives off this same feeling, the same warmth that this version of Hercules has. It's a classic in my books
I agree with you 100% they just wouldn't be able to capture the magic.
Especially since they want it to be inspired by TikTok for the songs
@@littlesparrow303 what now

And the real life remakes rarely added anything positive to the animated versions.
Not history books, but books nonetheless
I kind of like the idea of Willam Dafoe as Hades. His portrayal as Ryuk was the only decent part of that terrible live action Netflix Death Note
I was just thinking he’d be perfect!
Omg yesssssss pls that's the only way I'd watch the live action remake
"Zeus?" "Zeus is on sabbatical, honeyy."
I will literally not accept any other casting for Hades besides Bob Odenkirk like COME ON IT'S SO OBVIOUS
Holy shit your mind ✨
bruh true, he’d be incredible. live action disney movies, prepare for dissapointment
That’s amazing! Never thought of him.
FUCK yes, this is IT
better call hades

If I wanted a live action version I’d watch the stage play.
Personally I’d want them to do Emperors new groove but everyone’s in Mayan face
That's what I've been saying! I want a live action version so bad.
OH MY GOSH YES
If it got a live action remake that toned down the cartoonish gargoyle bits (but keep the one super important line from them I can’t quote without butchering), keep the more morbid tone and absolutely NAIL the villain and Hellfire? I’d probably watch that idk
@@creed8712 i had gag reflex reading your comment 😢
i always felt like the only live action version of this that would do it justice would be broadway… i just wanna see the muses on stage please 😭
'I Won't Say I'm In Love' gets stuck in my head on a regular basis whenever the topic of romance comes up. It's just so good
Aubrey Plaza is literally how I would imagine Meg in live action. Can't believe I didn't think of it before.
The chick who played Meg on supernatural has the same voice as this Meg i stg
@@brytonup1551 def the same attitude. I can see it

@@Justhppy2behere is she disabled? Didn’t know that I coulda I sworn she did an action scene or two in supernatural
@@Justhppy2behere casually calling a woman “chick” is misogynistic?
I never thought of Aubrey Plaza before that is good but omg my head goes straight to Elizabeth Gillies for Meg
You’re so right omg, Liz would be such a great choice! She’s beautiful and she can sing
Omg so trueeeee
I just commented saying Elizabeth Gillies for Meg just before I saw this. 100000%
Exactly who I was thinking of. Liz Gillies look is perfect for Meg
I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS!!! Liz would be the perfect meg, I feel like every character she's played have a similar personality
Fun fact: they originally wanted the Spice Girls to be the Muses but there were scheduling issues. As a fan of them that would have been awesome but I still love the way it turned out!
I think another good choice for Meg would be Cristin Milioti from Palm Springs. She could nail the sass/attitude, and she has singing chops (she was in Once on Broadway)
omg i LOVE her!! She could nail it
Cristin is a fucking banger choice mate. Or Jenna Ortega.
Personally I'd put Alan Tudyck in as Hades.
Ooh that’s a great pick
Wow I like this suggestion cause their facial features are even similar
Not to mention she played bass at Maria Hill’s wedding, which is a total Meg move
Middleditch and Schwartz as Pain and Panic is GENIUS
It's been over a month since this was posted and I have to say I cannot stop thiking of Aaron Taylor Johnson as Hercules... it's just too perfect
The singing was fire!!!! Eric and Allison great job guys!!!Y’all sounded so great harmonizing together❤❤❤
“Zendaya is already on the Disney payroll for Spider-Man”
I’m 100% ok with erasing Shake it Up, if y’all are
& KC undercover or whatever it was lol
This was like my FAVORITE movie as a kid, so it was really funny to me hearing him keep going "wait I don't remember this!" about, like, major plot points that I have memorized front to back.
Although, I will admit, I really didn't remember the Female Pegasus bit. It's totally a My Little Pony reference, though, it's even got a cutie mark
Am I high or is Allison an amazing singer?
You are not alone!!!! She has a voice on her
I thought the same thing!
Aaron Taylor Johnson is SUCH a good choice for Hercules. Omfg that’s PERFECT and I’ve never thought of that before!
I reckon Natalie Dormer could do an excellent Meg! She's got the sass and snark for sure
Personally, I think that I should be cast to play Meg. But that's just me.
Favorite Disney movie, the best soundtrack! If they do a live-action they need to keep the opening song, it pumps me up so much.
I have seriously been waiting for a highlights video of this!!! This is actually one of my favorite tracks to go back to and rewatch because Hercules is such an amazing movie, Danny Devito and all!!!!
Now I need you guys to do full covers of these songs cause both you have great voices
Honestly this has the best live action potential bc no one expects anything from it. It was underrated in ‘97, so it’d be underrated now - perfect time to blow everyone out of the water
People love Hercules to this day, how would it be underrated? Back then it was new which is why it was underrated then..
Bro, Willem Dafoe as Hades would be sick
that harmony at the beginning was beautiful
The part at the end where they finally say "that's Phil's boy" has me weeping reliably every time
Can we just take a sec to talk about Allison's runs in I Won’t Say (I’m In Love)? HEAVENLY
WAIT allison has a drop dead gorgeous voice 😭
Dude I've seen this movie a million times and I just got the joke when Hades said "it's a small underworld after all." Hilarious!!
alice actually has such a nice voice woah
Love the commentary. This is one of my favorite Disney movies. Underrated if you ask me. Sang Go The Distance at my High School Graduation 🎓
okay come on VOCALS 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Man somebody was singing a beautiful harmony in the beginning!
My favorite Disney film hands down. It basically the plot of the Christopher Reeve Superman with some elements of Rocky thrown in for flavor!
Honestly, this will always be the most badass Disney movie to me, cause there's something extremely cool about Herc going into, what I'm guessing is, River Styx, and pulling Meg's soul out of it, and just casually walking out.
Fucking love it.
Okay for pain and misery you gotta go with Key and Peele. Like the only duo that can bounce off each other perfectly and have the same comedic timing!
10:23 funniest moment in the whole video. A bunch of weird sighs and the look on both Hercules and Eric's face, a laughed for a full 7 minutes 😆🤣
So, this is one of my favorite Disney movies ever. Go the Distance is by far my favorite non-villain song in Disney's catalog. However, when I watch this I have to ignore a lot of what I know about Greek Mythology. Oddly enough, I think this would be fantastic Superman movie.

totally agree!
god i had to paus a bunch to recover because HOLLY SHIT Allison has such a gorgeous voice!!! honestly gave me chills
tell allison to post a full cover of wont say im in love bc omg

I really wasn't expecting this crossover
PAIN AND PANIC BEING MIDDLEDITCH AND SCHWARTZ?? ICONIC
How they could fuck the remake up:
1. Makes Hades a serious character
2. Remove the Hydra and Titans fight
3. Remove the songs
Love the genuine reactions from the parts you didn't remember, that made my day
This isn’t necessarily my favorite Disney movie, but there’s something I loved about it so intensely as a kid. Live-action Hercules are just never as good and idk if even Disney would be able to recreate this magic tbh. This was the whole package.
Jasmine in the hourglass was my first “don’t ask me the color of anything” moment. I remember so little from that movie, but I sure remember that.
i literally was in the middle of typing what about thomas middleditch and ben schwartz as pain and panic when eric said it lmaooo
You guys popped off in the opening and I love it
8:00 the Scar pelt has the actual SCAR over his left eye to confirm it is a legit nod to The Lion King’s Scar
Jack Black would be a good and funny replacement if they don't want Devito back

Holy shit alison killin that harmony i never knew i needed.
BLESS MY SOUL, ERIC'S ON A ROLL 💪 damn I love this movie
The BACKGROUNDS in Hercules are so fucking good.
Aaron Taylor Johnson is actually the perfect choice for Hercules
Even though I wouldnt even watch it lmao
Sad that he would have been perfect for the role because Hercules is supposed to be 18 and Meg is nearly 30 and that's around the same age diference between him and his groomer wife.

Jesus how do you know when I’m on a PMI binge? Unbelievable timing
Lord what are you doing here?
same???!
That's my secret captain... I'm always on a PMI binge
I honestly think Stephanie Beatriz could pull off Meg in live action.
you see kick ass in the Hercules movie ," FUCK YOU MR. BITEY!!!"
The gasp i gusped when Allison started singjng
Hercules - Aaron Taylor Johnson
Meg - Liz Gilles
Phil - Danny Devito
Hades - John Lithgow (as payback from getting the original role stolen by James Woods)
Pain & Panic - Key & Peele
Zeus - Kurt Russell
Hera - Susan Egan
The Muses - Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, H.E.R., Alicia Keys, and Lizzo
this gives such strong drunk disney vibes and i love it
I mean I think Allison would crush it as Meg just saying 🤷🏽♀️
what im hoping for in the live action is they do a 1 for 1 remake of the cartoon but then when hercules brings meg back, she just turns into a full on zombie and the last quarter of the movie is just hercules fighting zombies
Eric, how can you try to fan cast for the live action while Allison is killing the Meg song right next to you?
Eric freaking out about "What are those?" SENT me
"that's josh gad let's be honest" in such resigned defeat has no right to be that funny lmao
Damn y'all can sing. I loved that. Do it again but more
theatre kid eric rly jumped out in this in one
I can't unhear Oneyplay's "Herculad" rendition of Feel like I belong
Jelani Alladin did a performance of Go the Distance like 3 years ago and he’s been my dream cast since. (he played kristoff in frozen on broadway)
i think liz gillies would make a good meg as well
Not that I think anyone will care or think that I'm telling the truth, but my grandfather Hal Holbrook plays Hercules' human father (the old farmer man, I forget his name).
thats so cool!
LOVE
I can’t believe I didn’t see this two days ago when I also watched Hercules!
other film students dreams :win an oscar
mine: have eric react to one of my future movies
a true dream
Thomas Middleditch and Ben Schwartz is the absolute perfect casting oh my god
My favorite disney/comfort movie of all time!!!!! Thanks for doing this one 👏
Ok but I’m not gonna act like your costar was not NAILING those notes during “I Won’t Say I’m In Love” cuz I definitely noticed, beautiful voice!
This single frame 4:17 after what he said killed me😂😂😂her reaction is great
If they made a liveaction Princess and the frog movie it could be the best one, since it's more realistic to begin with.
What about the whole dancing and talking frog parts though? That’s how the main characters are most of the movie and I don’t want to see “live action” CG frogs 😭
My first pick as Meg would probably be Aubrey Plaza if not then maybe Kat Dennings? 🤔
Edit: just heard you say Zendaya, I could see it ☺️
Go the distance is hands down the best Disney song ever written
Surely you’d get James Woods back for Hades?! Also it would be Key and Peele as Pain and Panic
Key and Peele wouldn’t be a terrible option. I thought of Bill Hader and Nick Kroll.
Something about Scar to note: He is worn like the Lion that Hercules killed with his bare hands because it’s hide was impervious to any attack. Which means Scar has a hide that is impervious to any attack.
The girl commentating has beautiful singing voice!
Hercules - Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Meg - Liz Gillies
Hades - Bill Hader
I bet the neighbours are like "what are they doing next door" 😂
PLEASE make them Thomas and Ben, oh my god I’d die
