If you've seen this movie, then don't see it on DVD. I am sorry that this Disney classic was making fun of the myth about Hercules. Somebody throw a pineapple at Hercules, and don't forget to make him a local slave... Full review

| Sep 11, 2008Urban Cinefile
This Hercules is kind of like an ancient Superman, and the film cleverly pokes fun at what the studio is master of: merchandising, as well as the whole notion of heroism and hero-worship.
Technically, the Disney artists have done themselves proud, adding depth and clarity to all aspects of the film's design, from background to characterisation.

This movie is great!
Hercules is a fun, up-beat mythological (well not really on the facts so much, but if they did it would be rated R) story about Hercules.
But it's a cartoon and overall a good movie for kids.

Although the more recent ones have decreased in quality, the classic movies and the renaissance of the '90s just can't be beat.....A lot of people are quick to disparage Disney's Hercules....Even if you don't like Hercules , just about everyone alive loves The Little Mermaid ..... ... Full Review

But with its strong voice cast (most of the actors from the film reprise their roles) and fun, sometimes laugh-out-loud storylines, Hercules stands out from the crowd.
Kids will like seeing how Hercules becomes the hero we all know him to be -- and how the challenges he faces as a teen help him be a hero who not only has muscles, but also a strong heart full of integrity.
