The best of Disney's worst

Rating: 6/10 (3 July 2000)

First, if you're a mythology fan forget everything you know and just enjoy the story. Secondly, if you're an animation buff...give up now. SIGH The story is nice. The acting, adequate. The music, fun. But the film stands as an example of Disney's decline in animation quality. It is one of the first crossings of animation and computer animations from Disney the latter standing so far out in superiority from the already bad artwork that it makes the rest of the imagery look out of place. Disney films since have only refined on this ludicrous art of crossing breath-taking imagery with almost lampoonish artwork.
It is clear that the artist's intent was to produce a film which attempted to reproduce and modernize the ancient Greecian style seen on "vahzes" (GRIN), frescoes, etc., This would have worked had they not chose to cross this with a pseudo-realistic computer generated hydra which almost looks like something from a sci-fi flick. Briefly we witness, "Hercules Meets The Hydra From Mars."
Furthermore, if you're of a Paganistic path you might be offended by the interpretations of the Olympians which look completely ridiculous and exaggerated.
