Hercules

O.K so Pocahontas was the beginning of the downfall of people's interest in Disney animated movies, Hunchback of Notre Dame didn't exactly help... Hercules saved it. I heard a lot of critics liked it and it did do pretty well at the box office. What's the story? It's Greek mythology and all the gods are up on Mount Olympus and "Zeus" is happy because of the birth of his son "Hercules." But "Hades" the god of the underworld wants to see his son get destroyed because he's apparently going to stop him from taking over everything in the future. So he gives him a potion that takes away his godly powers. He sends his two henchmen named "Pain" and "Panic" to give it to him then kidnap him and then kill him. But they mess up and while he doesn't look like a god anymore he still has his strength and an old couple finds him and raise him. Over the years Hercules turns into a boy who seems to be an outcast with everyone except his adoptive parents. He decides to journey on to find out where he truly belongs. He finds out his real father is a god and that he himself has supernatural powers. And so he goes to save the day where ever he can with his incredible strength now as an adult with his flying horse named "Pegasus" and his goat trainer named "Phil." Along the ay he falls in love with a woman named "Megara" or "Meg" for short. But once Hades finds out Hercules is alive he tries to use Meg to take away Hercules' strength and that's exactly what he manages to do. Leaving Hades to release the titans and rule the land and Hercules to try and stop him in which ever way he can. So what's good about this movie seeing how I've said before how it's one of my favourite 2-D Disney animated films ever. Well first off there's a lot of really good comedy in this film, especially with Hercules, Phil (who's my favourite character) and Hades. Just the way they talk and what they say is hilarious. Another thing that I think is really impressive is the animation. It's really bright and even the character design is great. And even the rest of the side-characters like Zeus, Pegasus, Pain, Panic and the towns people of the town "Thebes" that they go to visit are all really fun. Another thing I was impressed with is the action scenes and how fast they ere was what I thought was impressive. And I also found the relationships between the characters was genuine and now I'm going to talk about the characters. Hercules himself is pretty good. He's kind, he's polite and he even does have good relationships with the characters around him. Meg is alright I guess I mean yeah during the beginning she does use Hercules as a way to be free of Hades but I think she does get her redemption at the end when she sacrifices herself to save him. Phil is my favourite character because he's funny and he does have a pretty cool design. Hades is a cool villain as well, he's funny and has a really cool and unique design especially with the fact that he does seem to be powerful. I just think this is a really good film. I'd say this is a defiant watch.
