I think we all know about Disney's Hercules, so let's talk about the shipping...it was great. Fast, efficient, in tact. Great! I bought the movie for my brothers and they love it!
Rating:  - Hero at Large
Disney brings new life to the Greek epic of the powerful mythic strongman in the fun-filled animated feature "Hercules". Hercules (Tate Donavan), the son of Greek Gods Zeus and Hera, is stripped of his immortality as an infant and seeks to regain his rightful place among the Gods of Olympus. With his godlike strength and the aid of his winged horse Pegasus and his feisty personal trainer Phil (Danny DeVito), Hercules will face incredible challenges and learn what it takes to be a true hero. Though not as memorable as "The Lion King", "Hercules" is a refreshing and funny animated romp for the whole family. The thirty-fifth Disney animated movie includes an amusing story, likable characters, a catchy musical score, colorful animation and comical references to pop culture. James Woods is hilarious as the hotheaded God Hades and Susan Egan is amusing as the streetwise damsel Megara. "Hercules" also features the voice talents of Bobcat Goldthwait, Matt Frewer, Rip Torn and Paul Shaffer.
Despite its new cover art, "Hercules" Gold Collection is completely identical to the previously released Limited Edition. The thirty-fifth Disney animated feature is presented in 1.66:1 non-anamorphic widescreen format. The picture quality is the same but it's still a bright and colorful THX-Certified video transfer. Its 5.1 Dolby Digital sound is clear and quite dynamic. The interactive DVD menus are simple. Its only two supplemental extras are the 9-minute "The Making of Hercules" featurette and the Spanish version of the "Going the Distance" music video performed by Ricky Martin. In terms of supplemental material, "Hercules" is somewhat of a letdown compared to other Disney DVDs and earns a "B-".
Rating: - An instant Disney classic
When this first came out, I thought it looked pretty stupid. When I finally did see it, I was pleasantly surprised. It has a fun different feel than any other Disney movie. I dont really like a lot of the modern Disney movies with their different spin on classic fairy tales, but this didnt feel like that. Its very cute and still retains its message. To me, its actually more mature than alot of older Disney films. So, while this is not my fave Disney movie by far, its still a wonderful addition.
Rating: - One of Disney's BEST!
When we switched over to DVD from VHS, I went LOOKING for this movie in the newer format - I LOVE IT! As do my kids...terrific animation, fantastic music (the muses are a RIOT), just creativity in every nook and animated cranny there is. Easily entertains adults as well as children - both boys and girls will love it! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Rating: - Daughter Loves it
I agree with everything positive everyone else has said... so why repeat? Great movie. My 4 year old daughter LOVES this movie. She's been watching it since she was a newly turned 3 year old. As for myself, I get locked every time she puts it on.
