Hercules

HERCULES is a rollicking, tongue-in-cheek Disney film based on the Greek myth. Forget those legendary labours--this teenage Herc is the goofy and lovable adopted scion of mortal parents, toiling on earth to prove himself to Zeus, his Olympian dad. His demi-god gifts score him money, fame, and product endorsements, but he can't attain full deity (or "True Hero") status--and defeat a jealous Hades--without the help of his satyr friend, Phil, and the true love of beautiful Megara. This entertaining animated fantasy features the voices of Tate Donovan, Danny DeVito, James Woods, and more.

    Rated - 5 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    One of the best

    usaul disney tale of the ancient greek hero hercules as he battles against hades so he can go back to being immortal with zues. Bigs up to danny devito as phil adding lots of humour to this flick as he is perfect as the short and stumpy phil trainging hercules (its strange they really do look alike)

    I think the humour really stands out in this film hades and Phil really add to the laughs, the only downside i feel is the musical score which is one of the weaker entries for disney on this front

    Great stuff
