Good Disney Movie, Definitely "based on characters from" mythology

Rating: 8/10 (10 February 1999)

I was a bit miffed at the movie when it started out. Hercules the son of Zeus and Hera! What the...? But, I have to admit that I ended up liking the movie. Now that I have my own copy, I like it more. There aren't as many songs but they are all good quality. The singing is well done. The animation, at time kind of spotty and generic, is well done when the main characters are on screen. James Woods performance is great and really helps to focus the movie. Altogether, a very good movie, as long as you aren't expecting the "original book".
