Despite its inaccuracies with Greek mythology (which is understandable, given its dark content), it is a brilliant movie that really captures the magic that the Disney Animation Studio provides to its audience.It's soundtrack has some of the best music it's ever produced (from "Zero to Hero", "The Gospel Truth" & "I Won't Say (I'm in Love)", with the Muses nailing their roles as entertaining narrators. The humour is brilliant, the voice acting done by James Woods as Hades, Danny DeVito as Phil, Susan Egan as Megara and Tate Donovan as Hercules is exceptional. And it has an engaging story that explores the themes of heroism, betrayal, loneliness and cynicism very well!Hades was a villain we couldn't help but love, despite his evil motives and hatred towards his own nephew; Hercules. Every scene he's in he automatically steals the show, you can tell his voice actor had too much fun with the part its equivalent to what Robin Williams did as the Genie for Disney's Aladdin.Megara was also a very unique character, and this movie did something brilliant with the female lead that we don't often get to see in other Disney movies. Her whole story and development was so well written from start to finish, but what really makes us connect to her is how realistic she felt. She was more interesting than the lead protagonist himself. This movie not only did justice in creating a good female character, but it also found a way to make her role important in Hercules' journey in trying to figure out what it means to be a true hero. She redeems herself by saving his life, which regains his strengths, and in turn returns the favour of willing to risk his life for her just like she did with him.I will admit this movie does have it flaws, but I do love how it handled taking the approach in telling the story it wanted to tell. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/33AY5sN
