It electrified me, I though it was such a happy movie, thanks to the soundtrack, which I purchased a few weeks later. I love the artwork, the ancient Greece theme, the sacrificial theme as well. My favorite scene is when Hercules goes to the Zeus temple, and there this giant staue of Zeus is looking at him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGgnNge8BTU<br /><br />It's pretty touching, he finds a sense of identity at this point.<br /><br />One of my favorites animated movies.<br /><br />BTW: would it be possible, nowa days to create a nice looking film like Hercules using ToonBoom, or other animation programs? If yes, what is the best software outthere for top quality films, if DIsney was to re-open a hand drawn animation studio?David Mussethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636842118803981107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-49497979442516080052021-06-27T10:48:43.745-07:002021-06-27T10:48:43.745-07:00Hi!

It's a film that has an amazing art direction, the character design is unique, the whole atmosphere of the film is contagious and it comes from an era when Disney took a lot more risks in their animated films.<br /><br />It's one of my favorite movies and I see it constantly to this day.<br /><br />I really love 90s Disney. You guys made the best movies in Disney history.Fred Spositohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01756641066407436951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-11151572732301494872021-06-03T06:58:39.848-07:002021-06-03T06:58:39.848-07:001997 I went with my ten years younger cousine to t...1997 I went with my ten years younger cousine to the cinema to watch "Hercules". <br />When I heard the German voice of the adult Hercules I had a big image problem with the actor who speaks this character. Before his cooperation with Disney this German actor was very popular to play "The Fool". Because of this association I don't understand that Meg fell in love with Hercules. :D<br />Years later I was so glad to hear Tate Donovans voice on DVD. :)<br /><br />I like the fresh style of this movie, the creatures, monsters and characters like Hades, the Three Fates and Pain an Panic...<br />Now Hercules seems for me the grandson of "your Atlas" and a nephew in law of Mr. Scarfes first version of Hercules. ;)<br />But the grandson version is the perfect boy for a though girl like Meg! :)<br /><br />Yes, Hercules is a perfect feel good movie! :)<br />Nicole Klementzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02503150874041866798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-3856121591136884522021-06-02T04:24:05.789-07:002021-06-02T04:24:05.789-07:00I had never seen that one before.

I can imagine it must not have been easy to apply Scarfe's very unique and exaggerated style to a character that had to be "the pretty protagonist" (maybe it was a little easier to achieve with Meg). I really like how this film and Mulan, among a few others, took some liberties from the "house style" and experimented with something a little different,visually speaking.
