Trivia:
The role of Hades is one of James Woods' all-time favorite characters. So much so, any time Disney needs him to reprise the character for any cartoon show (including "Hercules: The Series") and video game (The "Kingdom Hearts" series), he has agreed to do so. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Hades is in the boat on the river Styx at the beginning of the movie, he throws a small steak to the huge three headed dog as he passes it. In the next shot, the steak is much bigger. moreQuotes:
Hercules: Meg, why did you... You didn't have to...Meg: People do crazy things... when they're in love.

"Hercules" is a cracking Disney film and for once it's not just for the kids. The animation is more like the "old-school" Disney, before the cute, big-eye syndrome and the characters are hugely entertaining. It has sly humour and in-jokes, but what sets it apart are the songs; soul, RNB, jazz and not a drippy sugar-song in sight. Quality entertainment!
