Plot Summary

An outrageous odyssey of fun, fantasy, and adventure unfolds in the hilarious hit film Hercules. Taken from the gods as a newborn, adopted on earth, Hercules becomes an awkward teenage pillar of strength. Trying to fit in, he discovers his dad is Zeus and home is Mount Olympus -- if he can move from "zero" to true hero! Hercules teams with babyhood pal Pegasus, the flying stallion, and Phil -- a feisty personal trainer -- for the mission. But it's no easy task as he must match wits with Grecian beauty Meg and a comical hothead named Hades. With the help of Pain and Panic, Hades plans to rule the Universe with only Hercules standing in his way! With a bold animation style, colossal voice cast, and spectacular music, Hercules is unmatched in strength -- delivering something for everyone.

Who put the glad in gladiator?!?!

Hercules!!!!! I absolutely love this movie!!! The integration of Greek gods and goddesses was really good, and so was the overall plot!!! I would definitely recommend this movie!!! (Also the songs are some of the best songs that were ever made for a disney movie!) ZERO TO HERO!!!!!!!

LOVE THIS MOVIE!

Hercules is one of my all time favorite movies and childhood movies as well. This movie is amazing and I love the music in the movie.
Hercules is a movie that you can watch over and over again. Also Hercules is a funny, cute, and wonderful movie for all ages. I love Meg, Hercules, Hades, and Panic they are my favorite characters. <3 10/10 and 5 stars!!

I've Never Been Sure What to Say About this One

On one level, this film is pretty flimsy. Most of the characters aren't very interesting, the story is fairly insulting at times, and it doesn't really hold up as a good representitive of the Greek tales. It's isn't as though Disney could adapt such stories without removing much of the content, but this is pretty much an entirely different story. It isn't like The Princess and the Frog, where they took a story and gave it an overhaul to achieve a longer and more complex story. Instead, this is the opposite.
That being said, this film is insanely fun to watch. The animation is great, the colors are great, the designs are FANTASTICLY UNIQUE and they just keep flying at you without letting up until this film is done. The voice-acting is also top-notch, and I'll admit that characters like "Hades" can be rather enjoyable.There's never a point where the film is BORING. It may fail to achieve the epic feel that a Herculese animated film should have, but it's still worth a watch.
