Hercules (1997)

Arcata Theatre Lounge

Hercules (1997) is an American animated musical comedy film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation. Disney’s animation team dipped into the rich well of ancient mythology for this musical comedy. The son of Greek gods Zeus (Rip Torn) and Hera (Samantha Eggar), Hercules (Josh Keaton) is stolen as a boy by the minions of Hades (James Woods), lord of the underworld. Forced to live among humans, Hercules is turned into a half-god and half-mortal after drinking a forbidden potion brewed by Hades’ right hand men, Pain (Bobcat Goldthwait) and Panic (Matt Frewer). Now Hercules has the remarkable strength of a god, but is trapped in the body of a human, and before he learns how to use his power properly he goes through a typically adolescent awkward period. In order to become a god and return to his home on Mount Olympus, Hercules must prove himself a true hero on Earth. With the assistance of Philotes (Danny De Vito), a plucky satyr known as “Phil,” the grown-up Hercules (Tate Donovan) learns to use his strength to his advantage and becomes a famous and benevolent protector of those around him, successfully battling a variety of gods and monsters. However, Hades sends Megara (Susan Egan), a seductively beautiful woman under Hades’ control, who is to win Hercules’ heart and render him helpless against the forces of the underworld.
