    I absolutely loved Disney's take on this Greek God! The romance was so much fun to see unravel and the characters were so vibrant. Honestly so shocked I hadn't seen this gem sooner. Enjoy :)

    3:26 - Yeah hades in the greek legends is actually pretty chill, he just got stuck with a bad job. Infact i think in heracles' actual story he asks to borrow cerberus and hades is just like "sure, just take him for a walk and bring him back before night time". Despite what this movie shows, its really zeus who was the iffy one. Lets just say he liked to "get around"... with basically everything he could find

      Poor Hades. One of the few decent gods in the Mythos, yet because of his job, he's always painted as a bad guy. Your job and/or appearance always gets you labeled. Same with Frankenstein's monster. Very few people know that the original creature is actually very intelligent and speaks perfectly fine.

      @@michaelparham1328 Fun fact: _”The Rape of Persephone”_ isn’t the same definition of "rape” nowadays, kinda… It also meant to be pillaged, robbed, and/or kidnapped, being hostage against your will. It still sounds *horrible* (and it is), but as far as the mythology goes, it was never directly specified he s*xually assaulted her, so bonus points? 😵‍💫🤷🏻‍♂️ Zeus and Poseidon are the legitimate rapists that should be arrested for their crimes. Hades needs therapy because he and Persephone luckily had a happy ending, which never happens in real life.

    Not my favorite of the Musker/Clements films (as I enjoyed Aladdin more than Hercules) but I do prefer this over _Pocahontas_ in terms of ranking the renaissance films, but the soundtrack and the voice acting were my favorite parts of the film.
    Also Megara is voiced Susan Egan who played Belle in the original Broadway production of _Beauty and the Beast_ and voiced Lin and Gina in the English Dubs of _Spirited Away_ and _Porco Rosso_ along with Rose Quartz in _Steven Universe_ and Hercules is voiced by Tate Donovan who played Joshua Burgin, the love interest of Rachel Green in Season 4 of _Friends._ Finally Andreas Deja is the supervising animator for Hercules and an interesting story was that Deja was originally offered to be the supervising animator for Hades given his history of animating the Disney Villains Gaston, Jafar and Scar, but Deja wanted to do a different character and asked he can do Hercules instead which was a shift from his previous characters he animated Gaston, Jafar and Scar, all villains. In fact Hercules was Deja’s first non-villain he animated since King Triton.
    Hopefully you do a reaction to _Aladdin_ as it has _Robin Williams_ involved as the Genie.

    Hades wasn’t forced to become “The God of The Underworld” or the “Lord of The Dead”. After the Titanochamy (The War of Olympians vs Titans), Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades drew straws to see who would rule which domain and spheres. Zeus won and drew the straw that granted him title of “King of The Gods and Heavenly Skies.” Poseidon drew and won the title for “Ruler of The Oceans & Seas”, as well as “The Great Earth-shaker” (God of earthquakes and tsunamis). Finally, Hades drew and won his appropriate title. Hades was also “The God of Wealth” because he has access to all the rare gemstones, treasures, and metals beneath the earth, including also fertile soils and wellsprings. He *won* if you ask me.

      @@user-mk3zm6fe4s Hestia was the firstborn female and oldest out all the Olympians, but Hades is the second-oldest and the eldest brother because he was the firstborn son. However, it all depends on who you ask. Hesiod, Plato, Homer, Vergil, etc. All had their own versions and interpretations of mythology.
      In my opinion, Gaia wouldn’t have given Zeus the title of “King of The Olympians, Gods, and Heavenly Skies” if he went to war with all of her children. The deal was only to overthrow and usurp Kronus for his tyranny, not the entire Titan pantheon. She felt betrayed seeing and feeling all of her children suffer and in misery, wrongfully imprisoned when it should have been just Kronus. That is why she mated with Tartarus and begotten Typhon, the Father of Monsters and Deity of Chaos & Natural disasters. What she spawned could neither be classified as an Olympian, Titan, or Giant, but perhaps a final generation Primordial, an abomination that nearly killed Zeus and almost destroyed the world.

    "Megara and Hercules had a happy marriage that produced several sons, and her role in mythology is really to set up tragedy for the hero. Megara is killed by Hercules after he is turned mad by the goddess Hera, Zeus' wife, vengeful because Hercules was a product of her husband Zeus' infidelity."

He wasn't so much MADE a God after he died, he got seriously wounded and threw himself into his own funeral pyre, burning away his mortal half and ascended to Olympus as a God. If you want to know more about him I highly suggest OSP's video about him.

      ​@@HannahB09Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades and Poseidon were born of Rhea and eaten by Kronos in that order. Zeus, the youngest, was saved by Rhea substituting a stone wrapped in swaddling cloth to trick Kronos. Zeus was taken to Crete to be raised in secret by nymphs in a cave on Mt Ida. When he came of age, he became lovers with an oceanid named Metis (later the mother of Athena), who was a handmaiden to Kronos. He convinced her to feed Kronos an emetic potion, and he vomited out first the stone (omphalos, which became the foundation for the Oracle of Delphi), and then his swallowed children in reverse order. Hence Hestia, being the first born and last ejected, was called oldest and youngest of the kronides.

    This was my favorite Disney movie for years and years, up until I discovered Treasure Planet when I was about 16. And Go the Distance will always be one of my favorite songs. Speaking of which, I'd like to recommend Treasure Planet for you to watch some time! It's based on a pretty simple retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, but in my personal opinion, it's a far more compelling story than the original. The animation is absolutely gorgeous, and it's home to my new favorite Disney song, "I'm Still Here." It's not remotely as well known as a lot of other Disney movies from its time, and it's a real shame that it doesn't get the attention it deserves.

Egan played the sassy, best friend to the main character). And in case you didn't noticed, Hades is voiced by James Woods. And If you recognized Pain's voice, that's Bobcat Goldthwait.
    The older Hercules is voiced by Tate Donovan (mostly known for playing Mischa Barton's dad in the show The OC).

    What I love most about Hercules is that no matter what project the voice actor for Hades, James Woods always comes back to revoice him anytime.
    He's voiced Hades in the Hercules TV show, pretty sure he's done some Hercules games and of course every Kingdom Hearts game that had Hades in it (which I think is like the main 3 titles).
    He does not need to at all but I give him such props.
