Hercules (1997)

9.0

2021-12-30

Wow, such good animation and details in my opinion. The plot is really good, although it is a shame Hercules didn't visit at the end his parents' house.

I think Meg's design is perfect. You kind of smell something stinky going around with her the moment it is presented. Her facial expressions are perfect to explain how she feels at every moment and which are her real intentions and are her nature.

What about Hades? What, this guy is amazing. I didn't expect him to be so funny, he is a god yes, a really bad one, but yo, his jokes and way to express himself are perfect, both in animation and script.

About the gods, they are kind of foolish. They let Hades do whatever he wants and they even let Titans get into Olympia. Will Zeus defend their mountain? Nope. He just throws some arrow kind of lighting bolts that supposedly sealed them once, but now they are pretty much useless, until Hercules arrives to save all prisoners (all the gods) and somehow then his lightnings start to take effect. Hey Zeus! Too much time sitting in your throne or on top of some lady made you lose your qualities or what?

I had a good laugh with the "Air-Herc" and "Herculade" games of words. Although I would've called the sandals brand "Air-cules", you know. Of course you know I know you know.
