Amazon.co.uk Review
Not the egregious foul it seemed to be in cinemas, Disney's IHercules/I (1997) stands up as an entertaining spritzer of an animated feature. The continual peppering of in-jokes and cultural references becomes less irksome on the small screen. That there is no majesty or awe invested in the beloved Greek legends also seems less of an error. Also on the plus side is the bounciest Alan Menken music since ILittle Shop of Horrors/I. With Zeus's blood in his veins, young Hercules's amazing strength makes him an outcast (sorry, that still doesn't fly), so he trains with a satyr named Phil to become a hero. Along the way Herc meets Meg, a common mortal who falls hard for him. They are both against the jocular Hades, who has to destroy Hercules to take over Olympus. The hydra is the computer-animated set piece for this little number, a no-chance attempt to beat that wildebeest herd from IThe Lion King/I. --IKeith Simanton/I

 A First Class Movie But... January 2, 2009
I bought this DVD for my 3 year old Grandson based on customer reviews except the oldest review which I unfortunately missed out. If I had read it, I would have chosen another DVD.br /br /I do agree that this movie is for slightly older children (6 or 7 +). My Grandson was very attentive to most of it but kept losing interest as he found it difficult to concentrate on the story, unable to relate to the humour and ancient Greek setting (temples, muses etc). Also, although humourous and funny to us, some of the 'nasty' characters and monsters that play a major role in the film with impressive effects, made him quite scared.br /br /However, I feel this movie is fantastic all round and superbly produced. It is a must see but I would recommend Toy Story and Monsters Inc for the little ones!
 Hercules DVD November 3, 2008
One of the better Disney movies releasedbr /at the price which i got it for (7) it was a MUST BUYbr /i think its a great adaptation of the original story of hercules with great music and hilarious scenesbr /worth considering!
Hilarious March 25, 2008
I just watched this the other day, for old times sake. It was brilliant - better than I remembered. Whoever said that you can outgrow disney couldn't have been more wrong. I laughed and laughed along with my friend, and even if we were laughing at new found jokes, it didn't matter. It's definately worth buying. But if you're older, watch it with a friend to make it more enjoyable.
THIS IS A NUMBER ONE DISNEY CLASSIC . October 20, 2007
THIS MOVIE HAS EVERYTHING HAPPINESS SADDNESS AND GREAT SONGS. MEGARA IS MY FAVOURITE DISNEY CHARACHER. THIS IS BETTER THAN MULAN 2 LITTLE MERMAID 2 AND POCAHONTAS 2 AND MORE. I WOULD NOT RECOMEND THIS FLIM FOR ANYONE UNDER 7 BECAUSE IT IS NOT A PRINCESS MOVIE AND IT IS SET IN THE GREEK TIMES.AND IT MIGHT BORE YOUNGER CHILDREN. THIS MOVIE IS THE BEST DISNEY MOVIE OF THE 90'S. AND IF YOU LIKE DIFFERENT DISNEY MOVIES SUCH AS MULAN TARZAN ATLANTIS ALADDIN AND POCAHONTAS.YOU WILL LIKE THIS MOVIE.
Witty and likeable July 1, 2007

There's a lot to complain about with "Hercules". It mishandles Greek legends to a scandalous degree. The hero is something of a lug. Even the songs aren't much to write home about, with the exception of "Won't Say I'm In Love".br /br /And yet, the film manages to be likeable - good, even. It's very much typical of the "wacky" comedies Disney began making in the '90s and onwards - "Aladdin", "The Emperor's New Groove", and "Lilo and Stitch" are other examples of this - and, like the others, is genuinely funny. The story is interesting, the hero has a goal (and a moral dilemma), and the secondary characters (Phil, Pegadus, Panic, and Pain) are in fact a step up from run-of-the-mill sidekicks. The artwork is very interesting as well - like "Sleeping Beauty", it is subject-appropriate. Every frame (and character) looks as though it could have stepped off the side of a Greek vase, so great job there. There are also a lot of visual gags and several real historical places, which are both entertaining and interesting to anyone who's ever studied ancient Greek temples!br /br /Meg, Hercules' love-interest, is probably the most fascinating character in the film - and probably one of the most interesting Disney heroines created. She's cynical and sassy - a real break from the Cinderellas and Ariels who have stretched across the years. Hercules is far from being her first love (which far from making her imperfect actually serves as a plot point early on to prove her loyalty to the audience), and she's even on the "wrong" side to begin with. This is great stuff, and I'm really impressed that Disney wasn't afraid to create a flawed heroine, and managed to do it successfully as well.br /br /"Hercules" is a good film, although probably not Disney's best. Like "Aladdin" and "Pocahontas", it's very much of the '90s, which makes it entertaining as a cultural artefact if nothing else. Don't watch it if you want the true facts about the Greek legends, obviously, but anyone with a sense of humour should find it easy to like!
