I wasn't too interested in this one in the past, but earlier in the year, I discovered that the character designs for the film were done by Gerald Scarfe, who did the artwork for one of my all-time favorite albums:The Wall by Pink Floyd. Somebody even made a video for the film with "Hey You"! The video was good too. I haven't watched the whole film yet though.

Ahh Hercules. I absolutely adore this movie! I actually got into a debate with someone about it a few days ago, concerning the fact that Hercules is a Greek myth, and how Disney changed the story. But that proves my point. Hercules was not a real person, he's from Greek mythology, so what's the big deal if Disney puts their own spin on it? I can understand someone being upset over a movie like Pocahontas, since the events in her life actually happened. I don't mind Disney taking a creative spin on that one either.
Anyway, Hercules is one of my all time favorite Disney movies. I love the music, the animation, and the characters. Meg is one of my favorite Disney heroines, not being the typical damsel in distress. And I think the character Hercules is just so perfect. Here's this sweet, caring guy, with this huge muscular body. Oh, and he's also a God. It's just amazing. And the comic relief is great too: Pain and Panic, and also Phil.
I actually recently bought Go the Distance and put it on my iPod. Such an inspirational song. Fun to sing along to as well. ;D

Awesome movie. Personally, I like Disney's version better than the myth, which can get quite gruesome . Hercules is awesome, and I can see a lot of Eric in him personality-wise. He's a great Disney hero. And Meg is awesome as well.
