Disney's *HERCULES* is so STRONG! FIRST Time Watching and Movie Commentary! 

Honestly, the most unrealistic thing about this movie is Zeus and Hera being good people and parents

phil's joke about number of words is actually pretty clever; "i am retired" in greek is actually 2 words lol

I can’t believe that Disney made Zeus the good guy and Hades evil and meanwhile it’s the opposite

when the two "boys" where traped under the big rock and yell "Someone call IX-I-I" It is rome numbers... IX-I-I = 911

“Someone call IXII!” That line gets me laughing all the time! I remember as a kid asking to my uncle about what that meant and he said 911. Didn’t get it when kid, laugh now as a grown up!

Movie unrealistic, Zeus isn't cheating and he's being a good husband

The Hunchback of Notre Dame! The ultimate old, dark Disney movie with an amazing soundtrack 🔔🔔🔔

"They keep playing Go The Distance, you already know that's gonna be the anthem of the movie." lmao no, that's I Won't Say I'm In Love and no one can tell me otherwise. One of the best Disney songs EVER.

"Pegasus, you saw them...why didn't you stop them?" Because Pegasus was literally stuffed into a horn: it was right there in the film. Also, in terms with the Scar part...Zazu did say that "He'd make a very handsome throw-rug."

This movie will always be hilarious, especially if you know Greek mythology😂 Like Pegasus definitely wasn't Zeus' doing and Hercules was a demigod lmao. It's also very funny to see Zeus inviting Hades to the Olymp and Hera not hating Hercules XD

The literal translation of "I am retired" in Greek is actually only two words. Είμαι συνταξιούχος "Eímai syntaxioúchos"

MID simping for Meg is gold 😂 Let's be real, who hasn't simped for Meg at least once? She is BAE, she can step on me

It really love Hercules and just the concept of Greek mythology as a whole

This movie is so wrong in terms of greek mythology yet its still my favourite animated Disney movie

This movie was amazing - even 25yrs later it holds up as a fantastic film. I kinda wish Disney still made movies in this style tbh, especially the animations and music lol.

Fun fact: in Ancient Greek, "I am retired" is actually two words, I cannot remember which words, but it's two.

There was always a Chorus in every Greek play. Here they turned it into a Gospel Choir. Best exposition form ever! They showed the Labors of Hercules in the montage. In Lion King, Zazu told Mufasa that Scar would make a great throw rug. So they basically turned him into one here.

What I get from this is that Hades foresaw the Marvel Cinematic Universe. "Hail Hydra."

To be fair to Zeus, Hades is his big brother. Probably assumed he wouldn't do anything to hurt him or his family, even if he did have a bad attitude.

I wish there were more films about Greek (/ Norse/ Egyptian) Mythology like this bcos it's fascinating, and there's so much to work with, i.e. - the Gods & their powers - the environments/ locations and visuals - the stories - the monsters - the mythical creatures, etc

Meg is voiced by actress Susan Egan, who originated the role of Belle in the Broadway version of Beauty and the Beast. She was awesome, by the way.

The IX I I reference is because that’s the Roman Numerals for 911 😂 it kills me!

Kudos to the fact that Disney literally just left it at Hercules and Meg lived happily ever after ... because in actual mythology their story is SUPER dark: turns out he ended up killing Meg and the children that they had together by strangling them

The Road to El Dorado is so good! Elton John did the soundtrack. Also, The Emperor’s New Groove is HILARIOUS!!

Hades gets so misrepresented in modern media. Out of the big three (Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus. And that's in order from oldest to youngest), Hades was probably the most chill, second only to Hestia. Hades was faithful to his wife, loved his dog (which by the way, Cerberos roughly translates as "the spotted one", so Hades has a dog named Spot basically) and dig his job ruling over the afterlife.

Hercules is one of my favorites! Meg is my favorite Disney lady. ♥️

I’d love a live action of this, but only if Danny Devito plays Phil

Movies in depth: “hOw Is ThIs A dIsNeY mOvIe?” Me: “I never saw it like that”

My second fav Disney! Yey! Honestly Meg is best girl. Sassy and cynical, she's got so much charm! The gospel music is ace too. Such a fab film! X

There's actually a sequel book called Go the Distance where Meg in order for her to become immortal and live with Hercules, she's tasked to go to the Underworld to bring back her ex who dumped her. It's so good!

I kinda want him to watch spirit, I think he’d like it because it’s such a good movie

Um honey... you mean *HUNKULES!*

You should watch Disney's The Black Cauldron. It's one of my favorites!

I will not STAND for this Pegasus SLANDER! >:( Nah but for real, I forgot how much I loved this movie Edit: PLEASE do the Scooby Doo movie, I would lose my shit in the best way

Let's hope they don't mess up the live action Hercules 🤞

What has never occurred to me until right this moment after approximately 90 viewings in my 28 years of life... Why is Meg not a true hero? She gave her soul to save another and gave her life to save Hercules. She only did what she did (which was speak to the Herc because she was enslaved by "Hades." This story is so far away from the actual mythology, that they could have made her a minor Goddess just cuz. First off his name is Hercules, that's Roman. It's Heracles. Second he was born a demigod, Zeus and a mortal woman So Hera isn't his mother, and he was only named after her as an apology from Zeus, she still hated him and tried to kill him. Next Heracles does eventually become a God after his 7 labors. Hades is not the Christian Devil The Underworld isn't hell. And obviously the southern African American Gospel music.... is pure delight, but obviously not related to Greek culture. So if all that can be wrong... Why can't Meg be a heroic Goddess? But in the end, instead of saying, Hey y'all need to make this girl a hero to because she is brave, she saved my life and she sacrifices herself for the good of others. Also this movie makes me appreciate how much a series like Percy Jackson could reference the myths and keep enough of the facts in there while also blending in the fiction.

I just realized, the giant cyclops monster with the one eye is quite similar in build and appearance to the sea monster at the bottom of a deep sea trench that Spongebob and Patrick met in the episode where they sold Krabby Patties in a submarine. (It was the same episode that gave us the Spongebob meme were Plankton got into it with some Bikini Bottom townspeople and told an old lady "someone should put you in a box floatin' down the river, Grandma!")

18:07 Zazu: He'd make a handsome throw-rug. 20:32 Did nobody notice the "female Pegasus" take off her saddle?

11:47 Zeus: Don’t you think you might want to rephrase that Buddy boy

Movies in Depth AND NickFlix posting a reaction to this movie just hours apart?? ............Neat. 👀

15:50 IX I I is 911 in roman numerals, it's amazing 😂

When they were making this movie, Disney first asked my dad, GIL CLANCY, to voice Phil because my dad was a boxing trainer and announcer for CBS Boxing

I have a love hate relationship with this movie because it’s really funny and entertaining! However it is so inaccurate to the Heracles myth! (And yes it’s supposed to be Heracles not Hercules)

I love the live action Scooby Doo! I'm so down for that!

5:01 I guarantee you will be fuming how the Rollercoaster to the secret lab in Emperor's new groove hasn't been realized yet!!! (Which by the way I 100% recommend watching)

I love that Hades spoke up for the first time baby Hercules actually looked concerned as if he actually knew that something was wrong despite the fact that he was like an hour at the most.

You and Nick both put out Hercules reaction the same day this is awesome :D

Fun fact: Hades was merely a side character in the original story. The real villains were Zues and Hera.

14:19 fun fact: in the german translation instead of Nutmeg Hades calls her Chicken Meg Nugget

While there isn’t a sequel, there is Hercules the animated series that shows Hercules as a teen learning to balance going to school and training as a young hero. I’d definitely recommend checking it out as it fleshes out the period from when he was a baby to being a teen in the movie. And the line “somebody call IXII” is a direct reference to the Roman numerals for 911.

me: * Kinda distracted because I work on stuff while watching these * You: 20:51 "Why does he also remind me a lot of Beetlejuice?" Me: * Instant attention * You: * plays a clip from the MUSICAL * Me: * Instant serotonin *

Fun fact when Pain and Panic (disguised as kid) said, Call IX I I, they're saying the Roman Numerals for "911." Also Hades is by far my favorite Disney Villain. James Woods had so much fun playing the part, he agreed to reprise the role any time he ever gets the opportunity (and he does in Kingdom Hearts).

As far as I know, in mythology Hades was just another god. Even though he ruled the underworld, that was just his job. So yes Zeus would not be opposed to him showing up. Though Zeus had many children with many women/animals so the birth of a child my not have been a big deal.

The woman that voices Meg also voices Rose Quartz in Steven Universe

My fav Disney movie tbh

I love Hercules although it’s actually pronounced Herakles but I’ll let it slide since this did come out in the 90s.

I love the scene where Pegasus blows the flame off of Hades head.

If only this were Hercules' real story

If we are talking soundtracks ( Tarzan hands down Phil Collins went HARD on that one 🔥) but all around I LOVE princess and the frog just everything about tiana is amazing! Plus it was about the only other movie with soul in the music 😂

Hades can only be stopped by mal’s cousin Damn that girl has got some top good tier genetics lmao even if her parents were evil

Requesting "Hunchback of Notre Dame" and "Emperor's New Groove" *BOOM BABY!*--Two very unDisney Disney movies.

there's no Hercules sequel, but there is a TV series, it's sort of a "Herc goes to school while still in hero training" thing and ofc the animation is only TV show quality, but it's a fun watch, explores more Greek Mythology aspects within the Disney Hercules world (for example, Herc's best friends at school are Icarus and Cassandra), ofc it also has more Hades (they retcon the fact that Hades only finds out about Herc after his training is complete) along with other mythical monsters and stuff They even did a crossover episode with Disney's Aladdin called Hercules and the Arabian Night, a must watch just for the Jafar & Hades interaction XD (should have seen all three Aladdin movies before though)

They used roman numerals for 911 and I love it "Call IX I I"

Watch The Great Mouse Detective And Treasure Planet PLEASE

I was absolutely FLOORED when I read that you haven’t seen this movie! It’s so up your alley!

Hell yes to the live action Scooby-Doo

Lol the joke with Phil counting words is that their translation to Greek actually turns the phrase into two words.

Congratulations on your new place!

I LOVE Hercules. . Meg is my favorite She is literally a QUEEN 👑💕❤️

19:44 our theather group did hercules the musical! It was my first show ever and I fell in love with the music. I played the one eyed witch with the sissors 😂💖💖

Don't worry, everyone is a simp for Meg, even ten year old straight me sixteen years ago lmao

I was a major mythology nerd in elementary school so I always hated this movie and to this dy though there are parts I like about it now I still can't stand the fact that they changed Heracles' name! 😂 Why?! Why, Disney?! Why would you do this?! Stop!

5:02 "Where's my Disney ride for this?" RIGHT?!?

Meg was my first Disney crush. If I ever have a daughter, I want to call her Meg. (And hope Family Guy hasn't ruined it)

Hi! I'm from Hungary, and I'm a fan of your videos, especially the cartoon/animation ones. One of my favorite movies as a kid was The Magic Sword - Quest for Camelot, and I still think it's a brilliant piece. If you like, could you watch it and make a commentary about it? :)

YOUR FIRST TIME???!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Please react to all the live action Scooby Doo movies! :D

so, the original heracles married four times, his first wife was megara, but he sort of killed their children in a mad rage and some authors say he killed her too. he became immortal after his third wife, deianira, in a jealous fit, made the poisoned shirt of nessus which caused heracles great agony, prompting him to choose death.

Another Disney attraction I feel like they dropped the ball on. Why is there not a Tiana’s Palace in the parks? They already have a section dedicated to New Orleans.

Please react to the new movie Cruella, Honest to Godesses it AMAZING!

Hades is voiced by James Woods

Welcome to Chicago....its amazing

U should watch The Road to El Dorado next. Me and my sister rewatched it after many years and we had a blast.

Yes, do scooby do. I loved that movie when I was a kid

Nice video! I'd suggest also watching the Emperor's New groove

Well Hades and Zeus are brothers, right? So...why not invite yo bro?

literally uploaded on the same day as nickflix! it’s a good day for hercules lol

19:41 Disney actually is bringing it to Broadway; they’re also reviving the musicals of Beauty and the Beast and The Jungle Book

I just realized how similar the relationships and personalities of Zeus & Hades and Thor & Loki are XD

Aladdin is my favorite Disney movie

The centaur cyclops is voiced by Jim Cummings

Zazu did say that Scar would make a very nice throw rug 😂😂

Have you seen "Gargoyles"? It's a show, but the first episode/movie can be a stand-alone. Pretty good story!

Oh and there are many ways to turn gods mortals it was ZEus' favorite past time of punishing his children.

Disney Hades is super fun, but really man, the original ancient Greek Hades is the coolest family man with a huge three headed dog named Spot and GREAT COSMIC POWER he only uses when someone threatens his wife or kingdom. It's such an unfair treatment of him.

One of Disney's best ideas. Doing gospel style music for a greek myth. 🙌 😍

Yes do Scooby-doo

I am coming to enjoy watching you watching these.

Hi, I've been a silent viewer and if you do show reactions, can i suggest Gravity Falls? (If u havent seen it yet) It's been so long, and i still cant forget about how good it is. I swear, Disney allowed so much sht, that's why it was good due to freedom of creativity.

Loved this movie and loved this reaction. Thank you so much!
