is there any joke funnier than "someone call IXII"
Emma StefanskySep 24, 2022The only possible justification for making a live-action remake of this is to cast Bob Odenkirk as Hades

before the yeezys there were the air-hercs
clownheadDec 26, 2020Probably a wise choice by Disney to leave out the part of the story where Hercules murders his wife and kids at the end

This just barely makes it into my favorites because it truly is a perfect Disney film. Quote: …you mean IF he finds out…If…If is good. Character: Pain and Panic Moment: Herc becoming a god 10.5/10
Pao lovedHerculesi won’t say is such a mf banger
SemHex likedHerculesOne of the best movies of the renaissance era. The acting is better than I remember, Hades and Megura being standouts. However, if theres one thing I should point out, the animation (especially the faces) are drawn too extreme, and a little too silly. Still holds up well 9/10

I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would. Had no clue what the plot was about but was NOT disappointed. Gorgeous. But the soundtrack was disappointing, there was only one good song. Ending was weird, why didn’t they make her immortal too? 💀 Still cute tho! 8/10
Kaja lovedHerculesMy fav growing up
Caro likedHerculesIt literally looks nothing like the actual myth of Hercules, still a classic tho. I wish they just kept him as a mortal & maybe show the 12 jobs. Why did they make him son of Hera?? It doesn’t make sense. If u watch it without knowing anything about Greek mythology u’ll love it

I have often dreamed of a far off place with a great warm welcome will be waiting for me, where the crowds will cheer when they see my face, and a voice keeps saying this is where I’m meant to be I will find my way I will go the distance I’ll be there one day if I can be strong!
hornets_nest6 is "meh" onHerculesPretty good movie I like the mythology of this and it feels like it could actually be worked into Greek mythology. Good cinema and a good storyline too which would be believable. A man wanting to see his father so bad that he’ll fight to the end. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Mr.E189 lovedHercules9/10 My childhood favorite movie which inspired me to be the best me that I could be today. Thank you

The wonder is that it took Disney so long to get to the gods of Greek mythology. Hercules jumps into the ancient legends feet-first, cheerfully tossing out what won't fit and combining what's left into a new look and a lighthearted style.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
On any level, earthly or otherwise, the ingenious new animated Hercules is pretty divine. With inspired intuition, Hercules brings together ancient lore, gospel singing, girl-group choreography and lots of free-floating mischief into a jubilant pastiche of classical references.
Janet Maslin
The New York Times
Chock-full of celeb cameos, puns and contemporary camp, the movie is annoyingly hip. It wants to belong even more desperately than its title character, who yearns to be a god almost as much as Pinocchio wanted to be just plain human. Hercules, alas, is hardly in the same class with the emotionally compelling Pinocchio -- although on many occasions its hulking hero seems just as wooden.
