I didn't know if there would be a Disney movie better than "The Lion King" and then we re-watched Hercules. This movie is brilliant and textbook storytelling.
Every single character has clear motivations. What does Herc want? What does Phil want? Hades? Etc. There is no question why each individual acts a certain way because their motives are laid out.
At 93 minutes, this movie is the perfect length for the story being told. The story beats are paced precisely with every twist and turn happening at just the right time.
This is a Top 3 Disney soundtrack, with "Go The Distance" being the best Disney song ever written. I used to think that "A Whole New World" was that song, but I was wrong. "Go the Distance" is the GOAT.
Ultimately, "Hercules" is a work of art and (no joke) should be used in film school to teach how to construct a screenplay.
Best Character: Hercules (specifically young Herc) Best Quote: "A true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart." - Zeus Best Scene: Herc starting his journey.
Best Song: "Go the Distance"
Note: Rhyming "Impossible" with "Gospel" is so smooth. It was the "Sky's the limit" and "Eliza's in it" of the 90's.
