Absolutely fantastic

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2006)

This is by far one of the best Disney films of the bunch. What can you expect from a film created by the same geniuses who did The Little Mermaid and Aladdin? Although there are a few errors in terms of the mythology it's based on, it's a fantastic watch. The comedy is flawless for all ages- I saw it for the first time when I was 9 years old and nine years later I'm still finding the jokes hilarious and discovering more gags that I hadn't spotted before. The songs are brilliant- the composer is a complete genius. I watched Hercules on DVD two days ago and I'm still singing the songs at random. They're catchy and just... wow. I love "I Won't Say I'm In Love" (Megara's solo). I'm still impressed with Susan Egan's singing voice to this day. The Muses... wow. I love the choral touch they add to the songs. And the fact that they're actually telling the story is really unique- it's kind of an advance from Aladdin where the stall owner is telling the story, except the Muses appear throughout the film whereas the stall owner only appears at the beginning of the first film and the end of the third. My favourite character is definitely Megara- what's not to love about her? She's tough, she's funny, she's sarcastic and she has a heart of gold. A classic Disney girl. If you haven't seen Hercules yet, I strongly recommend that you do- you shan't regret it.
