Hercules DVD

Taken from the gods as a newborn and adopted on earth, Hercules is just an awkward pillar of strength trying to fit in. What he wants most is to impress his father Zeus. When Hercules discovers Hades' sinister plot to take over Mount Olympus, he goes from zero to hero and, with the help of his pals Pegasus and Phil, discovers that real strength comes from the heart! With the voices of Tate Donovan, Danny DeVito, James Woods, Susan Egan, Bobcat Goldthwait, Charlton Heston, Rip Torn and Samantha Eggar. Music by Alan Menken. Directed by Ron Clements and John Musker.

Product Description

Bestowed with superhuman strength, a young mortal named Hercules sets out to prove himself a hero in the eyes of his father, the great god Zeus. Along with his friends Pegasus, a flying horse, and Phil, a personal trainer, Hercules is tricked by the hilarious, hotheaded villain Hades, who's plotting to take over Mount Olympus!

5.0 out of 5 stars A clever, enjoyable and under-rated Disney classic
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2007

It was only a matter of time until Disney Studios put their own dinstinctive spin on that mythical God-like hero, Hercules. When I first saw it on VHS format, I instantly fell for it.
This animated film follows in the same spirit of my own personal favorite, "Aladdin" (no wonder why I like it), which blends dazzling animation, a clever story filled with satirical puns & in-jokes, toe-tapping showtunes, and engaging characters voiced by talented people.
But within all the jokes and gags is the essential message that our hero must learn: That true heroism comes not from wonderous feats, but from within your heart. We watch as Hercules (displaying God-like strength, but turned mortal, thanks to the under-handed doings of the slimy Hades) evolves from gawky, clumsy teenager into a true heroic figure under the tutelage of Philotetes ("call me Phil"). A diminutive Satyr (the most unlikely trainer of heroes!) with a short fuse, Phil is voiced appropriately by Danny DeVito. Tate Donovan voices the uncertain but ambitious Herk perfectly. His Godly father Zeus is given hearty, boisterous authority by veteran actor Rip Torn. Bobcat Goldthwait and Matt Frewer have fun voicing Hades' bumbling demonic minions, Pain & Panic. One of the big surprises among the characters is the leading lady, Meg. Disney, for a change, went against the "pretty-but-useless" damsel-in-distress by choosing a brassy, wisecracking heroine who pokes fun at damsels-in-distress. But the character who really steals the show is the hot-headed but jocular Hades, Lord of the Underworld, voiced with deliciously villainous glee by James Woods.
As with most Disney fare, "Hercules" is for the whole family. But be warned: Some scenes, such as Herk's battle with a head-sprouting Hydra monster and the equally monstrous Titans, may be too intense for little tykes.
However, there's so much to enjoy in this pun-filled take on the legendary hero that you'll most likely stayed glued to the set from start to finish.

I like all Disney Animation movies. Yes, some are better then others, but they're still movies that
the whole family can watch and enjoy. Some are better for older children then younger children.
That is up to parents to decide. The older Disney movies are classics and should be in everyone's
collection along with the new.

5.0 out of 5 stars The "glad" in Gladiator!
Reviewed in Canada on August 18, 2020

While not the most serious of the 90's Disney classics, Hercules is still a movie worth watching. Like many other movies, the ultimate lesson is how the strength of one's heart is what matters most. This movie stars one of the most popular villains in Disney history, Hades, Lord of the Dead, voiced by James Woods who really steals the spotlight every scene he's in, acting as a sleazy car salesman. Aside from Woods' funny fast talking, Hercules also has pretty good music and the rest of the cast give nice voice performances as well. And while it doesn't follow the Greek myth of Hercules in the most faithful manner, there are some serious moments that contrast greatly with the scenes that are meant to be funny, but that's kind of a Disney tradition that I've learned to just roll with. Overall, I recommend this movie to anybody who loves 90's Disney.

À voir, à revoir et surtout à écouter !!! La BO est génial ! Les muses se déchaînent et on adore !
Les dessins sont très stylisés, il ne faut pas s'attendre à la douceur des ligne de la Belle au bois dormant.
Ce n'est pas le même registre non plus : on le regarde pour son action, son héros qui frise parfois le ridicule, les clins d'œil à la société de consommation induite par les succès de saga ... Très drôle ! Je m'amuse et je n'ai.pourtant plus l'âge de ce film depuis bien longtemps.
Les muses sont mes préférées !!

5.0 out of 5 stars HERCULES (Disney Animated) DVD
Reviewed in Canada on April 5, 2014

Being of Hellenic (Greek) Origin, and a Planetary Scientist/Cartographer, who has officially submitted Names to the I.A.U. for Planetary Surface Nomenclature from Various Cultures of the World, I Must Say That the HERCULES Animated DVD is a Good Way to Introduce Children to Understanding the Serious and Humorous Natures of the Human Spirit. It has Value in that it supports Children to Develop Courage, High Self-Esteem, A Will to Loath Failure and Replace It With Self-Responsibility for a Successful and Prosperous Future.
It Teaches Girls What the Qualities of Male Loyalty, Patience, and Courageous Deeds can Accomplish in a Girl's Life, and What to Look for In A Serious Man, and It Teaches Boys What Real Love and Devotion towards A Girl of His Heart Should Really Be "By his Actions for Her", Rather Than "By His Words to Her".
I Don't Rate Anything In Life As Perfect, As Everything In The Universe Is Eternal And Continuously Changing.......
.....But This One Gets a 9 Out of 10 from a Very Ethical, Moral, Serious and Very Analytical Scientist of Spartan Warrior Origin.
