	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Hercules (1997)
		Nonetheless, it's to the film's credit that a non-irritating modern spin could be put on the character without sacrificing her vital role in the story.

	Hercules (1997 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Disney took considerable liberties with the myth of Hercules, since some of the original material and characters were deemed inappropriate for younger viewers, such as Hercules being conceived through a god posing as a mortal woman's husband, and of his stepmother Hera's attempts to kill him.
		Rather it is a spin on the character and the culture of ancient Greece.
		During the 'Zero to Hero' sequence, the Muses are portrayed as singing busts with one bust laying broken on the ground.

	Hercules (1997)
		Hercules the man (or is that the god?) lends himself well to the Disney treatment.
		While his twelve labors are conspicuously absent from the film, he does put in a full day's work, battling hydras, cyclops, and a love interest with ambiguous allegiances (Meg, voiced by Susan Egan, who looks like she was modeled on Fran Drescher).
		Coming as late in Hercules as it does, this message is not too intrusive, although the film's "zero to hero" theme seems to have been shamelessly borrowed from The Mask.

	Film & TV: Film Reviews (Austin Chronicle . 07-08-97)
		Director Martha Coolidge, whose wonderful early films such as Valley Girl, Real Genius, and Rambling Rose starred such strong teen characters, is stumbling badly in her more recent work (Geena Davis' star turn as Angie, the film version of Neil Simon's Lost in Yonkers, and the fantasy romance Three Wishes).
		Although the film tends to suffer from a severe case of overt preachiness in the third reel (shades of James Cameron's The Abyss), it's still a wonderfully visual, exciting ride.
		Despite his adoption by a kindly couple, Hercules is quite the misfit among regular mortals, and therefore beseeches a statue of Zeus for answers regarding his identity.

	Making Film History: 1998's Animated Features
		Although 1997 was a meek year for animated feature films, it did represent the coming of a new revolution for animation.
		DreamWorks marketed their film as an adult feature that would be suitable for children as well, but even with the help of leading voice actor, Woody Allen, Antz lacked the magical spark that cartoons typically bring, and instead left a dark and claustrophobic impression.
		This film is a visually captivating tale set amidst 16th century Mayan culture about a couple of roguish swindlers who get their hands on a map to the fabled city of gold, El Dorado.

		Told in a fluid stream-of-collective-consciousness that skips with mounting gravity between points-of-view and from past to present to future, the film describes a bus crash that devastates a small Canadian town, and what's disclosed after ambulance-chasing claims lawyer Mitchell Stephens (Ian Holm) starts asking questions.

	Hercules (1997)
		Hercules failed to strike a chord with the summer's audiences, and it ended up a near-flop; it pulled in almost $100 million, which might be great for Antz or The Prince Of Egypt but is an enormous disappointment for Disney's summer blockbuster.
		I had that problem with the many computer-animated portions of The Prince of Egypt because they disrupted whatever spell the film had established; the CGI looked incongruous and, though it was of high quality, the dissimilar nature of the images distracted from the story.
		Hercules lacks in many supplements, but I liked the featurette, and my affection for the film itself continues to grow.

		In the scene where Hercules rushes into the town with a carriage, containing Amphitryan, Penelope and a tall bail of hay, The bail hits the top of the entrance to the town, and two men carrying a stone block fall off the top.
		And the greatest and strongest of all these heroes was the mighty Hercules.
		I have never understood the panning this film got from Disney fans, as I have never comprehended what there is to dislike.

		Hercules saves Megara (Susan Egan - Belle of Beauty and the Beast) and falls for her but Meg feels "I Won't Say (I'm in Love)" (This is the best song in the show and should have been nominated for an Oscar).
		In this film he is quite smart and intellegent, but in the myth that told his truth: he was a dum brute who killed Meg resulting in to the twelve labors of hercules, wich we get a glympse of in the song: Zero to Hero.

		Hercules then has to choose between his mighty strength to return to his real parents the Gods and his true love a Grecian beauty Meg, to then learn that it isn't the amount of strenght that he has to prove or show, but it is the strenght of his heart.
		Hercules is a brill disney film for all ages, my friends and I are all 17 and we all love singing along to the groovy songs from this film.
		The film doesn’t come without it’s soft spots either, due mostly to the beautiful and seducing female heroine Megara, the warm relationship between trainer Philoctetes and apprentice and the desire for a young boy to find out where he belongs.

	Review: Hercules (1997) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The majority of the film centers on the adult Hercules performing all sorts of grueling tasks to clean up the ancient city of Thebes ("the Big Olive" -- if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere) and establish his status as a hero.
		Hercules comes close to being a remake of the The Little Mermaid with a male hero.
		One could easily argue that all Disney animated films are similar (for example, the hero is always a loner who proves herself/himself through some deed of self-sacrifice), but Hercules is a little too blatant in its cannibalization of past themes and plot points.

	New Zealand Film Odyssey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The film begins with a tale that is almost familiar; a tragic love story of a passionate young woman and a dashing, daring man that has the patina of an ‘oft-told’ romance.
		Serious concerns (old age, welfare, dependency, loneliness) are presented in a light hearted and entertaining manner as a determined and manipulative elderly widow meets her match in a troublesome mother and son who becomes her tenants under false pretences.
		At the center of the film is a towering performance by Danielle Cormack whose (obviously real) pregnancy gives an unexpected veracity to the film (and one of the funniest birth scenes you’ll ever see in a film).

		Wednesday night, on the eve of the Austin fest and conference, the film community here is buzzing, not only about the upcoming weekend of screenings, seminars and panels, but on this night one of Texas' favorite filmmaking sons is in town for a special screening (not connected to the festival or conference).

		The film blended sword-and-sandal adventure with the fantasy elements and special effects for which Pal was known.
