Trivialidades:

In the scene where Hercules rushes into the town with a carriage, containing Amphitryan, Penelope and a tall bail of hay, The bail hits the top of the entrance to the town, and two men carrying a stone block fall off the top. These two men are caricatures of the directors John Musker and Ron Clements.

Goofs:

Factual errors: Narcissus is not a Greek God, and therefore would not be on Mount Olympia.

Quotes:

Meg: He comes on with his big, innocent farm boy routine, but I could see through that in a Peloponnesian minute.

The last of the new classics

Although I know I have heaped praise on several other Disney films...Hercules stands out as my favourite among them all. After this movie the Disney features once again seemed to slip downhill. However I can watch this movie again and again, it has a spectacular Greek chorus, gospel type score, which will ring in your head for days (and you will like it!). The characters are all likeable, even the villain and it is absolutely hilarious!

I have never understood the panning this film got from Disney fans, as I have never comprehended what there is to dislike. The animation is beautifully done, although it is done in the style of Greek art, which may not be to everyone's taste (very similar situation to Sleeping Beauty which was disliked by some because it was animated in the style of a medieval tapestry), but it works wonderfully for the film.

Take a chance and watch it...and when you're done watching it for the sixteenth time, go out and buy the soundtrack!
