This is absolutely NOTHING like the actually tale of Hercules. Hercules is actually the child of Zeus and a human woman, and Hera, who is mad at Zeus for cheating on her again, punishes Hercules by casting a spell on him that causes him to kill his family. To atone for this, he does these 12 tasks and yada yada yada. While this movie strays from the story on which it's based a little TOO much, it still is a fun movie. Watch out for violence though, Hercules decapitates a Hydra at one point.

It`s an awesome movie though Disney did change the story a lot to make it for younger ages.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MOVIE!i agree it isnt very similiar to the real story but its fun, and awesome. Hades is hilariouse and i love MEG she is awesome. and so is Pegasus. its a classic disney film and i love it.. so if u havnt seen WATCH IT!!!!

i luv this movie i dont care if it is ment for little kids it is a great movie

I first saw it when I was 5 and today I saw it with a three year old and she loved it!!! I highly recmend it. it shows you to be ture to your heart

A movie about the Gods & Goddesses and greek mythology without all the blood, cusses, and plain old boringness. Hercules is the story of an outcast who finds out he is the son of Zeus, and that to be with the rest of his family on Mt. Olympus he must prove himself worthy by bieng a hero. Parents might want to talk about how the Underworld and Hades represent h.e.double-hocky-sticks and the devil. Philitites, a satre training Hercules is a player in this movie and flirts a lot, but nothing goes farther than his come-ons (besides a smooch at the end) Hades; the villain in the movie may be scary to the youngsters. spoiler alert for parents: The scariest part is somewhere towards the end where Hercules must swim through a sea of moaning dead bodies to get to his dyeing love Megera. You see him slowly ageing and beging to die. He doesn't though, and niether does Meg. Parents should also be advise of a fight where Hercules cuts a gooey head off a monster repeatedley.

This might be the third best disney classic after Mulan and Aladdin (but they're all good!) Hades is a very funny villian. Of course, younger kids may be frightened by Hades and the whole underworld thing. Kids 7+ can probably watch it

This is a really good movie. There are some parts that would be scary for little kids (mostly the underworld scenes) but you can always fast forward those parts. Meg acts a little sexual but it's not that bad. And it got me interested in learning about Greek mythology.
