What A Cartoon Movie! - Hercules
🕑 Added 2021-06-28 04:00:00 +0000 UTCIt's too cliche, we won't say it... Well, ok, fine, it's time again for our premium monthly podcast! By 1997 things we're as stable in Disney Feature Animation as before, but directors John Musker and Ron Clements were going to go the distance with this Greek tale of commercialism and insider Hollywood references. Can it all come together with an underrated soundtrack, a bland lead character, and a villain played by a guy who belongs in hell? Listen to our lengthy discussion to find out!

I’m way late , I discovered you guys so late so I’ve finally caught up with all the Simpsons / King of the Hill and what a cartoon movies the amount of times y’all shit on treasure planet 😭 I watched that movie like 10 years after it came out and I was so disappointed in myself cause I loved it so much . Maybe because I love the Jim Hawkins / Long John Silver relationship so I’m a sucker for this movie (and muppet treasure island lmao) I hope y’all watch it soon - even if you don’t do a what a cartoon on it . But id love to hear what y’all think of it without the emotional attachment. Every time I hear you bring it up my first though it “I’ve had just about enough of your Vassar bashing” 😂😂

Why doesn’t Hercules fly up to Olympus, he has Pegasus? Google Bellerophon 😂 Love the show guys! Making my way through WAC!

This was the first Disney movie that I vividly remember the promo material for. They aired a making of special before release that focused on the CG of the hydra scene specifically. My anticipation was at full mast for this one and I loved it when I saw it in theaters (though I remember wanting more Titan action). The Muses were a big hit with me and my family and honestly are the secret ingredient that puts this one over for me. Always a treat to see the majesty of black gospel vocals NOT be used in service of religious dogmatic conquest.

I know it’s not prefect but it’s probably my favorite Disney movie, the game wasn’t too bad either.
