Hey billy
This is the result of subscribing to both y'alls channels
I thought his voice got deep in the middle of singing
HI BILLY
HI BILLY
Hades and Meg were hands down the best part of this movie, and the fact they shared most of their scenes together made it even better!
Phil is an iconic character thanks to the legend, Danny Devito.
All I can think of is Danny Devito I love your work!! If you get it you get it lol
@@Emma_yeahitsme mean girls 🤨
@@MileyMoo8406 yes
WAIT, THAT WAS HIM!? I DIDN'T HEAR IT UNTIL YOU SAID HE DID! 🤯
“Get up on the hydra’s back!”
when meg was talking with hades and trying to convince him that Hercules was different and a good person,,, and hades just says “he’s a guy…” lmaooo one of my favorite lines from the movie, I mean, he’s not entirely wrong 😭
the movie proved he was
Hades is based
come on... HE IS A GUY
Funny because we men believe the same thing about women. "All girls are the same." The only difference is, that one's actually true. Hercules was a simp lol.
that's why y'all gals can't find a man until 37, way past your prime, they way past their prime, know your worth kings
It's weird how media usually paints Hades as the villain, perks of being the Lord of the underworld I guess. According to source material, he's probably the least problematic of the "gods".
Like, has anybody else read Lore Olympus? The man is a king. The OG Wife Guy.
Also why would he free the Titans? He helped to misprision them in the first place. If anything Hera shoulda been the villain.
Yeah in actual Mythology Zeus was a real villain.
Zeus aint problematic. He just sleeps around.
@@mannishrimp4850 he is problematic. In the myths he rapes like thousands of girls.
"call IX-I-I" is the best line in the movie. makes me laugh every time.
Hades is my FAVORITE Disney Villain, because is just so unique from the others. He doesn't have that whole dramatic Shakespearean thing going. He's more of a laid back, realist sort of villain.
I say Hades and Ursula were a change of pace.
Also, 22:54: Hades IS a man of his words. He does 2 deals with Hercules, and upholds strictly by the rules of the deals. So Hades kept his word.
The DISRESPECT on the elderly is absolutely wild 👴
It’s what you deserve
@@rxbeccarose They're called "The Fates."
I agree with how much you liked Meg and Herc together and fun fact, this is one of the few disney canon ships where the woman is older. It's also one of the larger age gaps in Disney. Hercules was supposed to be about 16/17 at the start of the film and 18 at the end after the training. Meg is in her 20s
Wait how do you know that Meg is in her 20’s? :D she does look like she is but do they mention that somewhere online or in the movie? =D
Considering she talks down to him a little it does at least sound like she’s older, but the question is by how much. Since she appears in the episode of the show “The Anatolian Amphora” and appears to be a high school contemporary of Herc’s, the “age gap” may be more of an experience gap.
@@megarakadmea The cartoon isnt cannon though
The first thing she says to him is move on junior 😂 now I don’t know whether she’s stuck in her 20s and is probably a century older than Herc or she’s actually just few years older than him. Given her story of selling her soul, her aging makes it hard to guess how long had she been working for Hades.
@@Tooba-K123 Yeah, you’re right she does call him junior. She should be in her 20’s. I always have been wondering how old she is supposed to be, also I always been wondering how old Esmeralda is supposed to be as well cause she looks like 26-30. Megara looks younger than Esmeralda that’s all I know but Meg looks at least 20 :D
So crazy this your first time watching this classic.. 1 Of my favorite movies of all Disney.
wait... Why you come for rival like that tho? Hahahah
Cuz Rival is her rival...Badum tsss
Man… tell me about it 😔
It’s what he deserves
I do love Meg’s whole storyline. It’s so interesting and complex especially for a Disney movie. The mythology aspect might’ve helped with that being complex but idk for sure if that portion was accurate to the mythology or not
It's not accurate, but it's a Disney animated film for children, so it doesn't matter. The ACTUAL tales in Greek Mythology are not something for 5 years old to be learning yet. They're fucking cool, but not things 5 year olds need to know at their age.
Meg actually died in an accident which Heracles had to do the 12 Labors for.
“I swear those are the Hades people.” Those are nymphs. Basically Nature spirits. Pain and Panic are more like imps.
she was probably talking about phil since he looks like the fat minion
More like simps.
The singer for young Hercules is actually Roger Bart. Just so you know. He is an actor/singer. He was Goerge in Desperate Housewives and Carmen Ghia in the 2005 Producers
Lion King was the blueprints for Hercules:
1. Both feature a jealous villain who wants to overthrow their older brother & nephew.
2. Scar from Lion King appears in Hercules as a cameo
Not sure if anyone here is into Steven Universe, but the voice actor playing Megara, Susan Egan, is also the voice of Rose Quartz. And she originated the role of Belle in Beauty and the Beast on Broadway!
Kid:“Somebody call IX-I-I!”
Rebecca: *didn’t even notice*
In the myths, hera wasn't even hercules mom not to mention she drove him crazy. and hades was the one god that actually didn't want him dead
“imagine someone coming up to you and being like I can be your hero - I’d probably just laugh in their face”
Christopher Wilde has left the chat
“Zeus is kinda lame so far, haven’t seen him do much except sit around on his little throne” and that right there just summed up most of Zeus’ mythology in a nutshell.
The best part of the movie was Meg, but the way they made Hades a bad guy in this was so infuriating because he's basically the least problematic god out of all of them, and one of the only gods that *didn't* participate in a takeover of Olympus against Zeus in Greek Mythology. That's not even the least of how inaccurate it is when looking at Greek mythology, but if I talked about everything I'd get into ranting and I don't really feel like typing out a rant rn
I think it was just disneys strategy yknow they gotta make someone bad and given the fact that it's mainly a child audience picking the guy associated with death and the underworld was the first choice.
@@JuanitoEsBonito I think that was partly the choice. I always think Hades already had a bad representation b4 this bc some ppl were like he’s the God of the underworld and works with dead souls he must kill ppl which isn’t true. Also maybe it was a bit of some Catholic and Christian ppl learning abt Hades being God of the underworld and they likely thought of the underworld that’s under ppl and associated that with Hell and thereby associated Hades as being similar to the devil. I think k with Zeus they were like oh he’s in the sky so it must be like heaven so they praised him when Zeus doesn’t deserve the praise he gets
@@maem7462 well in Greek mythology it's actually explained that people didn't necessarily fear hades they just didn't like uttering his name or being associated with him as they though it warranted an earlier death.
It's a fucking Disney Movie... Get a life. We know Greek mythology and Disney aren't going hand in hand. Yes let's tell kids the ACTUAL story of Hercules. Of him killing his family in a blind rage because of his vindictive aunt wanting revenge on Zeus... Hercules completely his 12 tasks of repentance and then BURNING HIMSELF ALIVE to join his father in MT. Olympus. 100% badass story, but not something for the kids to watch.
Also Hades literally stole a man's wife lol.
not meg being most people's sexual awakening
Mine was a Wonder woman spinning top I had when I was literally 1 year old
The kidnapping of the baby was Disney's smart idea to cover up that Zeus was a f**kboy 🤣🤣🤣
When you sung that first note of that first song, my cats started looking all over the place with fear in their eyes 😂
Oh god 😭😭
The first creature that started off Herc's hero career was a hydra.
Basically what they showed us. Cut off one head, 3 grow back. Sometimes it's only 2, depending on the story.
In the,"12 Labors of Hercules/Heracules," he had to burn the stump of the heads to stop it from growing back. 🧐
Actually it was the Hemean Lion
@@Ze_Nightwolf2005 i meant in the context of the movie
@@videohistory722 oh I got u my bad
Hercules was the Disney movie that came out after The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Hercules was made light hearted due to Hunchback of Notre Dame being so dark
Fun fact: In Greek mythology, Hades is a man of his word typically, he just knows how to push things into his favor with the tenacity of a loanshark, like when He hustled Persephone to be his wife because She ate seeds in the underworld
Hades is a man of his word in this movie, too. Both deals he makes with Hercules, he holds up his end of the bargain. Hercules, on the other hand, doesn’t keep up his end of the bargain he makes about saving Meg.
Funnily that’s the worst thing he’s done. He’s one of the chillest gods there is. I won’t say the most chill because Dionysus is literally the god of wine and pleasure.
The hilarious thing is that in actual mythology, Hades was the nicest of the gods.
Also, the original story of Heracles(Hercules) is VERY tragic and I can see why Disney took the route that they did and changed so much to make it happy.
Remember, Zazu once said "He'd make a very handsome throw-rug." about Scar. XD
Aw man, this movie has always been one of my favorites. The art style and the shapes, the settings, the songs, the drama, and of course pegasus! I LOVED seeing your reaction to all of it!
I’m sorry for the “well, ayachtuallyyy” but Hercules’ singing voice was done by Roger Bart. Michael Bolton did the pop version of I Can Go the Distance.
This was so fun! I love seeing a first time reaction.
Fun fact: The name Cerberus comes from the ancient Greek word "kerberos," which means "spotted." That pretty much means that Hades named his three-headed guard dog "Spot."
James Woods as Hades is a VIBE. Literally my entire adult existence.
So happy you’re reacting to iconic Disney movies now! This is definitely is going to be the best era of you’re channel, I’m also surprised you haven’t watched this yet
Hercules is similar to Moana if you think about it. Both movies feature Demi gods with great strength.
I definitely see resemblance! Ron and John were directors for this film as well, and I’m probably biased cause I LOVE it 😂
So is Ariel technically...
@@HazbinCovenWitch a demi goddess??
Hercules is probably my second most watched fav Disney movie and I am so excited to watch your reaction! I was and still am obsessed with Meg she's such a strong independent lady that's also sassy? 👌🏻 Yes M'am!
Also the whole soundtrack 👏🏻SLAPS👏🏻 and I haven't heard any other movies compare to Hercules. In the sense that no other Disney property has used gospel to my knowledge🤔
Agreed! whats your first fav?
That’s Roger Bart singing. Bolton did the single release, but not the theatrical version. Like how there’s a version of Circle of Life that Elton John sings, but it isn’t in the film (played during the credits though).
The Scar skin is a reference to what Zazu said in the lion king, he'd make a very handsome throw rug and when he gets dirty you can take him out and beat him
After reading mythology for a summer and watching The Mythology Guy's review of this movie, it's now hard to watch this movie without constantly correcting it.
Meg and Esmeralda were my biggest Disney crushes when I was younger and I am still so involve with Esmeralda but I love Meg, Elsa and now Mulan
Omg yes. I had a huge crush (I probably still do) on Shang from Mulan but I still have a thing for Raya and Namaari alike from Raya and the last dragon, I can’t quite decide who I like better. I do like Naveen as well.
Yeah both Esmeralda and Meg have that good vibe =D they’re amazing and gorgeous
7:13 i love this fangirl scream
20:49 Phil was unconscious! O.O He was knocked off a horse with a branch going way too fast for that not to have knocked him out. They show him waking up just as Meg and Hades are getting into it with their conversation. Then he left just before he could see Meg stand up to Hades. Bad timing.
One thing to know about this movie is that is basically has no consistency with the original Greek myth. They even got the name wrong, in Ancient Greece he was called Heracles, named after Hera in an attempt at appeasing her since he was the product of one of Zeus’s many extramarital trysts. He was called Hercules in Ancient Rome.
Meg was my role model while growing up. It's no wonder that I'm so sassy and sarcastic all the time. 😂
16:01 when he was slurping his drink while the other gets yelled at 😂😂
I still stan Tarzan over Hercules, but it's bloody close.
Top 2 reasons I enjoy watching this movie is 1. MEG and 2. the MUSIC !!!
In the original myth, Heracles killed Megara and their three sons while under the influence of Hera, so movie took some liberties. Also their children were the result of trickery, as Meg was deceived into sleeping with and eventually forced to marry Heracles against her wishes.
Greek mythology in a nutshell: someone gets force sexed.
Okay now you HAVE to watch Sinbad. If you simped for Meg, you'll freak with Eris
Eris is sooo stunning. I had a cartoon crush on her when I was a kid :D also on Meg
As a major fan of Classical Mythology, this film and I have such a love-hate relationship. They have enough obscure references that it is obvious they did the research, but so many glaring flaws that it is also clear they didn't care to be accurate. For the best, I suppose, the actual myth of Hercules is FAR from family oriented (he got his first murder in as a kid when he smashed his lute over his music teacher's head, for starters... not counting the multiple rapes, pillages, beating his own wife and kids to death, multiple sex partners of both main genders that they were *not* putting in a 90s film, etc)
If it makes you feel any better, I’m out here and I speak Greek and Latin because of this movie. I went on two tours of Greece and my professors would occasionally ask me for help remembering stuff. The movie’s influence was good for something.
Well duh. Seems obvious they'd need to deliberately change the details what with the murder and rape rampant in the actual mythology..
I know you were playing around, but the lion wasn't Scar (well they drew it that way) but in the original stories he had to do a bunch of tasks, one of which was killing the Nemean Lion and wearing its head as a hat/cloak thing is part of his classic iconography.
"Only gods can live on mount Olympus." Incorrect in both real mythology and within the canon of disney's version.
Going off at Phil for missing the song: You did catch the bit where he fell off Pegasus and got knocked out right? He only came to in time to hear the end of Meg and Hades's conversation. I mean given only that information I'd be inclined to warn Hercules too.
17:30 "He'd make a very handsome throw rug"
Meg was so sassy
4:12 lol this is something that I always questioned. If Hercules is so strong, how in the world did a mortal throw that dice so hard that it was able to toss him in the air and make him hit a stone piller hard enough to make it fall. It's as if one of those kid is also a "god". Lol I might just be thinking to much 😅
If Herc said, “ I can be your hero “ and I would be like, spread eagle, surrender 😅😅😅
17:30 "THAT'S SCAR!"
"He'd make a very handsome throw rug." - Zazu
8:02 Roger Bart dubbed Hercules's singing voice. He also went on play Carmen Ghia in the original Broadway cast of The Producers in 2001! :)
This movie is such a classic and one of my favorite Disney movies ever. Also, I'm pretty sure Hercules just becomes a demi-god at the end and not full mortal.
Hades: uh guys. Olympus would be that way.
TITANS realizing their mistake, then “Zeus!”
😂 funniest moment of the movie!
loving the pink eyeshadow for once lol
Michael Bolton Soundtrack for this is pretty awesome
*My favorite, calling out my other favorite while watching one of my favorites. *
Me: ... Why yes this is what I ordered.
yes
Hades is one of the best Disney villains and it’s so bizarre how he never gets a song!
baby hercules is cute, but baby pegasus is on another level 🥰🥰
“She’s working overtime” ✨💅👏👏
The side characters were my fave in this movie. The muses, Phil, Pegasus... I was (still am) obsessed 😩
Actually that's Roger Bart providing the singing voice of Hercules, not Michael Bolton. The Bolton version of "Go The Disctance" can be heard during the movie's end credits.
12:33 Rebecca is a pretty name, there's nothing to be ashamed of. It fits you perfect!
Scar represents the Nemean Lion which was one of Hercules' labours
Everyone talking about how they made Hades a villain when he's not, let's talk about Hera and how she was the one who tried to kill Hercules.
“Older Hercules” is still only 15-18 at the most. Likely more around 14 at first when he’s skinny, and 16 after training.
17:53 Disney loves putting Easter eggs in their movies
Meg basically showed her feet to Hercules because I’m Greek mythology Achille only weakness was his heel and he died by an arrow hitting it. I guess they made that reference as normal as possible since it would be hard for her to show him her heel in that position 🫠😂
This movie is seriously underrated.
I actually don’t love this movie, but you made it really fun to watch, lol. Thank you so much for the amazing content, love the videos. Hopefully we’ll see the Zombie Movie reactions soon! 😁
Hercules was a huge part of my childhood, I'm shocked this was your first time seeing it! I'm so glad you loved it!
So I know the Scar pelt was traumatizing, but it's accurate to the myth in a sense. Hercules defeated a lion and did wear it's pelt, they just threw Scar in as a reference to their other movie. Disney did that even back then lol
Plus in lion King they do say scar would make a good rug
@@permets2apollox453
Lol, right?
This is one of my favorite Disney movies, I love the style and I absolutely just love some of the lines.
Also Hercules just turning into a big simp for Meg, yes, I mean same
If you like Meg, her voice actor also played Rose Quartz in Steven Universe, and had a few good songs in that, too.
Hercules is one of my favorite movies thanks for reacting! ❤
Love from Greece 🇬🇷
THIS MOVIE was one my favs growing up haha the character design was an obsession for me hahaha 🤣 that Greek art Inspo 💕💕🖤🖤 TY for uploading
The "Jason" thing is a joke about the story of the Argonautai haha, I haven't watched this movies in years and only just caught that now
I love your energy, you’re awesome! And Meg is definitely a hottie!
Unrelated: anyone notice the side who was singed in the fire always looks that way the whole movie. Like, he could have bathed in a river or something 😂
This movie is slightly less enchanting if you know the myths behind it. I always felt terrible for Meg, knowing the future she has waiting for her.
The Mythology Guy does a very good analysis of this.
i love that you’re friends with Rival, it’s so fun
It's so weird how they use the Greek name for everyone but Hercules himself.
I can't believe this British girl really just said he fumbled the bag LMAO😂
18:35 Just like you, I found Meg very strange with her feet when I watched it as a kid. But this scene with Meg's foot has a reason: ACHILLES' HEEL!!! Yes! Meg probably knows the story of Achilles, who was defeated by being hit in the heel. And she was looking for a weakness in Hercules and thought that he might also have a weakness similar to Achilles. Today I understand this, now as an adult.
"Strong Independent" Meg: Relying on a contract with the God Of the Underworld to fulfill her wishes.
Hercules: Hard training and giving everything of himself to deserve the title of "Hero" and return to Olympus.
It's so cute.
Hi Rebecca hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
We're all simps for Meg
Yes I'm a simp for meg
Aladdin, Mulan, and Hercules are my top 3 favorite Disney movies. There all tied for #1 though. Can't decide which one I love more.
Meg was my first "Movie Crush" and to this day she is still attractive as all hell
"Not because of my brain cell because of Descendants" 😂
Loved this video! You remind me of internet mom ash but more low key and with glasses, bangs and an accent
the best line (in my opinion): “honey you HUNK-ules!”
Okay okay fine. I guess I'll subscribe. You're pretty funny. And this is the first video I watched from you. 😅
Hercules' singing voice was actually provided by Roger Bart. It was originally supposed to be Josh Keaton, the speaking voice of teenage Hercules but they recorded over it with Roger Bart
Jason is one of the most famous heroes in Greek mythology.
