One of the best

Rating: 9/10 (30 March 2010)

An excellent entry in the Disney animated stakes.
Hercules takes some liberties with the stories of myth, but all in a good cause - the tale constructed for the movie makes use of myth while telling its own tale.
Gerald Scarfe's highly individual artistic vision, as filtered through classical Greek art and architecture, means that, while still recognisably Disney, the production design on this film means that it looks quite different to any other Disney movie - and this, I think, is a good thing.
Hades is a great villain with a truly memorable vocal characterisation from James Woods.
The song "I won't say I'm in love" is one of the very best.
Highly recommended.
