In 1994, "The Little Mermaid", "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin" producer Jeffrey Katzenberg (Jeffrey Katzenberg) left to establish DreamWorks, and in 1998 with "Prince of Egypt" to Disney A loud slap in the face. It can be said that Disney started to go downhill after Katzenberg left. "Hercules" is Disney's work in this period of decline.

After all, it is Disney. The ancient Greek mythology of the yellow storm has to be changed into a version that children can watch, so there is no need to complain about the adaptation.
The plot is still Disney’s traditional family carnival route. Although it is old-fashioned, it can still be played by supporting roles, and various farce can feel Disney's iconic style.
Alan Menken's music is very good (Go the Distance, I Won't Say I'm In Love), while continuing the Disney musical narrative (Muse's creativity is very interesting). The background is ancient Greece, but the inner core is still modern.
The character image of the male protagonist is too thin, the heroine Meg has more personality instead, has a Femme fatale temperament, the mature and experienced heroine and the unsound male protagonist have an inexplicable sense of coordination, the villain Hades's humor The feeling is so brilliant that people can't hate it. Both the instructor and Pegasus can find their shadows in Disney's previous roles.
In general, this film is a very Disney animated film, but it was not at the right time. Oscar met "Titanic" that year, and the flaws of the film itself, so it seemed to have no sense of existence in comparison.
Subjectively, as a diehard Disney fan, this movie did not disappoint me.
