Nostalgic, my colleague was playing songs from the original sound track of this Disney movie Hercules. I kept on saying "I know the songs back when I was younger and I could even sing with it back then.". I really love this movie since it portrayed a story of being a hero from being zero. I too am a zero and am hoping that someday, though not here and not at the moment, be a somebody that everybody would be proud of.

Disney musics are indeed very creative as this movie is another evidence of their non-dying musicals. The songs added a significant effect to the mood of the movie since its music range from being joyful to being extravagant. The music is never of no relevance and the songs do complement the messages that the writer would like to convey the audience. There was never a boring sound in this movie and I can say Disney is indeed a trademark of grandiose music and a magnificent musicality.

The story line of the movie involves the fall of Hercules as was turned into a human when he was just a baby. He lost his immortality and the claim of the throne, but it is a start of an even greater honor which would lead him to a more challenging adventures. Meeting new friends along the way, a city where he will be praised for his heroic acts and a lovely damsel in distress that would soon become his love affair. The transition of being a zero to a hero is very typical but Disney has indeed made it very interesting to eyes of the viewers that even adults could enjoy and get a lesson with.

The animation sequence itself is splendid and is very well-done. Color combination are very well coordinated and every color compliments the attitude of the character.

Character creation is very interesting, though each character is a deviation of the original since the movie itself is another version of the real Hercules story. Maybe the reason for this is to make appeal to the child auditions and to portray happy endings since it is a Disney movie.

This movie is really a fun-filled movie and to those who haven't watch this yet, bring out the child in you and view this awesome film.
