The biggest minus was the rather dull songs by Alan Menken. The prove-you're- a-hero formula was a little unoriginal for me. Hercules himself, both child and adult, is a little bland, but Meg manages to establish herself as one of the best female Disney characters. More pluses are a genius turn from Danny DeVito as the hilarious Phil, and a wonderfully sleazy James Woods as the hot-headed villain Hades( a great villain, might I add?)Rip Torn also has fun as Zeus, especially when his statue came to life. And it is one of the funnier Disney movies with a witty and funny script.
The animation, in general, is very nice to look at, and Charlton Heston's narration is very satisfying. First of all, there are a lot of things I like about this movie.
