Disney Princess Article: Thoughts on Hercules

2

posted by MaidofOrleans

I've been absent from Fanpop for a while due to the end of school, but I'm back! And I figured it was about time I wrote another article. So after wanting to watch it for YEARS, I finally got around to watching Hercules. I know it's not officially a DP movie, but I've heard it mentioned a lot on here and I wanted to share my opinion of it.

Overall Impression
Fun to watch! A bit cheesy as Disney Filem go, but still a good story. It was an interesting take on the original legend, and though they changed a lot I found that I was still able to lose myself in Disney's version. I liked most of the characters, especially Megara and Hades. Their dynamic was great! She knew how far to push him but didn't aggravate him too much. I liked several of the songs, though a few of them were rather bland (pretty much anything sung sejak Hercules got on my nerves). I really enjoyed the animation. It seemed very Ancient Greek to me and set the mood for the entire movie.

Favorite Characters
I absolutely ADORED the Muses!! They were amazing singers and it was a great idea to make them the narrators. I loved every scene in which they were featured. They each had their individual personalities which their movements and actions reflected. They were just a really great part of the movie for me.

Megara of course was another highlight. She had such a great personality! I Cinta how strong she is - she even saves Hercules at one point! I can relate to her in that I don't like to admit to myself when I've fallen for a guy. I tend to stick to the belief the boys will only hurt anda - until of course I fall for another one. I've also had a boy dump me for a different girl so I know a bit of what Meg is feeling in that regard. I enjoy her Singing voice quite a bit, though it's not one of my bahagian, atas favorites.

Also, Scar's cameo was pretty awesome. Just sayin'. ;D

Favorite Song
Definitely I Won't Say I'm in Love! It's a song I've grown up with, even though I'd never seen the movie before now, and I've always adored it. I completely understand where Meg's coming from, and it's so much fun to sing along to! The back and forth argument between Meg and the Muses is both funny and touching, not to mention that it's sung incredibly well.

Should Megara be a Disney Princess?
This is a tough one. Though I wouldn't mind it if she was a part of the lineup, in many ways I'm glad she isn't. sejak dating the son of a god, that technically gives her princess status, but because she isn't born of royalty atau married to a royal, she really isn't a princess. Also, I didn't enjoy her movie as much as I enjoy the DP movies. Something about it just didn't grab me the way those do.

Sorry this is so short. I'm working on some other projects away from Fanpop right now and I want to focus on them. I hope anda enjoyed it!

OMG it's Scar!

laylastepford and dclairmont like this

dclairmont I'm one of the few people that has Hercules in my top 10, if not my top 5 favorite disney movies. I absolutely loveeeee it!!!! Meg is one of my favorite characters of all time. Anyway, nice article!!! c:

MaidofOrleans Thanks dclairmont! I love ancient Greek things so this movie was fun to watch. :D

rosemina I agree with dclairmont. Nice article!

LibelluleBleu Nice article! I really love Hercules! And I adore Meg and the Muses

Jayden-G Yeah, I love this movie too, but I have to admit, it is not very strong. The characters and songs are entertaining, but there are A LOT of plot holes. It is still entertaining, and is a good COMEDY. Good article.

MaidofOrleans Thanks everyone! Jayden-G I totally agree with you there. I mean, the entire battle scene makes no sense. Zeus hurls his lightning bolts and they do zero damage, then he gets captured, then Hercules frees him and he gets his lightning bolts back, and all of a sudden they do the job? Seriously? That was definitely not my favorite scene of the movie.

princecatcher93 MUSES!!! I want them to tell my life story when I die.

MaidofOrleans ^^ I have never agreed with you more haha

Newbiehere13 Interesting thoughts, Phil's my favorite character in the film but I love the Muses too. It's a good film though it reminds me of Aladdin too much. Great article.

MaidofOrleans Thanks Newbiehere13 :) Yeah Phil was funny, and it did remind me of Aladdin a lot, which is one of the reasons why I didn't like it as much as some of the other Disney films I've seen.

laylastepford I LOVE this movie so much! This has always been one of my favorites. I love all the music (all songs including Hercules' Go the Distance), it always gets my energy going. I love the witty lines consistent throughout the film from Meg, Phil, Hades, etc. I love ancient greek mythology culture and I thought they did a wonderful job Disney-fying it and taking out the overly negative stuff. I love the opening with Charlton Heston into the narrating muses, they are so great throughout the film. "I Won't Say I'm In Love" has definitely always been in my top 5 Disney songs and I love Meg's performance of it with the muses. The back and forth definitely does add to it and make it more fun. Hercules has long been one of my favorite films and I personally do think that Meg should be a princess. My reasoning is that if Jasmine (non-Titular character) and Mulan (not married or born into royalty) fit then I think Meg does too. Hercules was a God who gave up on that to be with Meg. I think refusing the title/status for love makes it even more powerful and encouraging. The movie was fun, clever and had many elements that the other Disney princess films have. I'm sorry that you didn't find it as entertaining. Personally I find it to be one of the most entertaining. I love all the clever lines like when Pain and Panic are trapped under the boulder and one of them says "Help! Someone call "IX-I-I" which is "9-1-1" in roman numerals. There were tons of little things like that, that I just loved. Perhaps it was the geek in me.

MaidofOrleans @laylastepford nice to hear your opinions on it! I'm betting that one of the reasons I don't like it as much as other people is because I didn't see it until I was older so I don't have any nostalgic feelings for it.

My Princess Lineup (updated)

posted by madisonsavanna

I was thinking about it at this morning and I realized it's different, the other one wasn't so planned out. Plus, I watched PATF yesterday (LOVED IT :D)

9)Pocahontas

"This is the path I choose Father, what will yours be?"

Choosing my least kegemaran is always the hardest part for me. Pocahontas is just too serious for me, it's weird because she's the rare type that's kind of boring but still has a sense of fun at the same time.

8)Snow White

"Want to know a secret? Promise not to tell?"

I Cinta this girl,so perky and sweet, just a little.....too perky and sweet. I find...

My own princess lineup

Here is my opinion on the best and worst princesses.
I know some of the imej look dumb but I edited some of them. Many fanpoppers know that I do not make imej and I have just started.
I might change this order one day.
Remember that I don't hate any princess.
Please comment.

Kind sassy original

No. 9 Cinderella
I know there are many Cinderella Kekasih out there but she is my least favourite (she doesn't have a merah jambu dress sejak the way.) I admire her sassyness and I think out of the 3 originals she is the most sassy. I also Cinta her line "I have the other slipper" and the song "Sing sweet Nightingale"....

Prettiest Princess senarai (IMO)

9) Snow White
Ahh, the famous line, Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest one of all? The mirror berkata this young lady, but I beg to differ. She is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, just not as pretty as the others. But hey, this was made in the 30s, ideas of beauty change over the years.

8) Mulan
China's heroine. Her hair is very pretty at the beginning, even still cute when it's short. She has an excuse for not being as pretty as the following, Disney had to make her to be able to pass off for a man.

7) Pocahotas
This girl is absolutely beautiful, graceful, and mature. She has long pure black hair that...

Imaginative Princess Countdown Results!

Imaginative Princess Countdown Results!

Disney Princesses vary in multiple ways, and how much they imagine is no exception. Some of them are very down to earth, and quite realistic, while others are very much in their own world, constantly dreaming and creating new visions and ideas in their heads. This is a rank of the least to most imaginative Disney Princess.

9. Pocahontas

Pocahontas was determined to be the least imaginative princess. This is mostly because she doesn’t having the flaming ideals and dreams that most of the others have, because she was generally unsure for most of the...

Here are my bahagian, atas ten kegemaran Princess songs.

10. "Honor to Us All"

Wait and see, when we're through, boys will gladly go to war for you...

I like this song so much because I adore this scene where Mulan is getting ready to meet the matchmaker. I like watching her get dolled up!

9. "So This is Love"

My hati, tengah-tengah has wings, Mmmm, and I can fly...

I Cinta this song because it reminds me of when anda first fall in Cinta with someone. Everything seems brighter and sweeter. anda literally feel all lit up inside. This song pretty much sums all of that up.

8. "A Whole New World"

A thrilling chase,...

Part of Your World (Parody)

posted by princesslullaby

So back in my junior tahun of high school I was obsessed with Tigi Bedhead Products.

Bedhead products.

These are bedhead products. Me and my friend used to be obsessed with hair and obsessed with Bedhead's stuff. We bought their products with ferver. I made a checklist of all the stuff I needed to get. I got close to having the whole collection. Sadly, but probably better for my mental health, I am no longer obsessed with their products like I once was, though I do use some of their stuff still. One hari I was bored in one of my classes and decided to write a tribute to Bedhead Products....

Wow....when anda think about those lyrics you... well i dont know....i guess anda have a realization.

If anda havnt noticed before those lyrics send the message "No matter who anda are rich, poor, whatever....your dreams CAN come true!"

Disney was giving us life lessons before we could even tell that they were helping us in life...every single movie has a message to remember all great and important and just plain beautiful.

They hid this stuff well underneath the cute Muzik and the fun characters but watching when im older like now i catch...

    As the five princesses arrived at their new destination, Belle opened her eyes in shock. “I have never seen such a beautiful place.”
    Where they arrived at was a beautiful, heavily wooded area with no buildings at all. The area looked to be completely natural, and there were beautiful skies, swirling winds, and a gorgeous waterfall.
    “And what type of princess is supposed to be here?” melati, jasmine asked. “Let’s go investigate, shall we?”
    The others nodded in agreement. Cinderella soon though,...

Princess kacang, pea was not your ordinary princess. She was not sweet. She was not all that graceful. In fact, her own royal subjects really couldn't stand her. anda see, the thing anda have to understand about kacang, pea was that she didn't know she was obnoxious. She considered it helpful on her part to ask her royal advisor if he's ever considered going on a diet. She thought she was being considerate to imply that the visiting duchess smelled like a sweaty armpit in July. Quite truthfully, Princess kacang, pea had never known a world where people told her she couldn't do something. Everyone always seemed to sit...

I was on YouTube recently link]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx1MmY1Bb50[/url][/url] (If anda go down to the 60 replies). Someone thought Belle didn't have a job (and the triplets did) because she had enough 'free time to read and became delusional about life in 'poor provincial town' (not my words). The exactly wording of what the user berkata was "I'm wondering that Belle are doing then even those triplets have their own jobs and responsibilities. Maybe idleness made her delusional? That life can be found outside of her town? " I pointed out that in historical speaking in those times women were...

Merida Support

posted by purplerose17

A lot of people on Fanpop say that Merida is selfish and not not a good role model. Personally, I think that is far from the truth.

Merida wasn't being totally selfish when she went to the witch. Impulsive, yes. Her mind was clouded sejak all the emotion she felt and acted before she thought things through. When she asked for a potion that would change her mother, I think she wanted something to change her mothers MIND. Not her personality.
I think Merida is actually quite selfless. When her plan to change her mother went awry, she didn't even hesitate to help her mom. She went totally out of...

Since the last time I wrote this artikel my senarai has changed a bit and I also decided to write this artikel again so that I could include Anna and Elsa. Also want to point out none of these screencaps are from disneyscreencaps.com, I found them on Disney Wiki so I don't know their original sources

I like Tiana despite having her as my least kegemaran Disney Princess, but she's a person that I'm not striving after being lebih like and of course I can't relate to her at all except we both have a passion for food, other than that we're each others opposites and I find Tiana too realistic...

I just had this crazy idea - In the seterusnya months, I'll write a series of 8 artikel-artikel (well, I'll continue only if anda like them, of course). The first 7 artikel-artikel will be about separate aspects of the DP Filem (Score, princess, couple, screenplay, villain, sidekicks and animation/art), and in the final artikel I'll make the average of the grades I gave the Filem in each aspect and make my kegemaran DP Filem senarai = )

The first artikel is about the scores! Enjoy =D BTW, all the pictures I used feature my kegemaran song from each movie.
