Hercules disney hades minions names4/3/2023 ![]() ![]() To further his plans, he has formed alliances with various monsters throughout Greece. As such, he has long been scheming to overthrow Zeus and take his position on Mount Olympus, though he has been doing that in secret. Hades has long been unhappy with his commission as Lord of the Dead, hating the Underworld and all the dead people in it. Hades’ minions are two small, demonic-looking creatures named Pain and Panic. Hades is the God of the Underworld, and is forced to spend most of his time in that realm, though he is free to leave it, to journey to Mount Olympus or Earth. Hades is the younger brother of Zeus, the King of the Olympian Gods. Oogie Boogie ( The Nightmare Before Christmas). ![]() The Flying Dutchman (Spongebob Squarepants).Discord ( My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic).But I did quite like the little montage showing Hercules victories and his merchandise taking off, Air-Herc hehe nice touch. I really think these lovey-dovey songs are no longer required for these type of films, its a very old fashioned concept which to be honest I'm glad is fading out.call me uncultured I guess. I didn't like the soppy songs throughout, yeah I know its Disney but they really felt unnecessary and jammed in.plus they sucked!. The CGI moments were obvious and terrible.down to age again. Yeah sure its not perfect by any means, the animation is a wee bit dated now naturally but I can't complain about that really. On the same note, Hercules is suppose to have retained his super strength BUT he's mortal (watch the film), yet in the film he's still comes across as immortal even after that was drained from him.Īll in all I did enjoy this Greek outing as I expected I would. In the end some falling rocks killed it? even though it had its heads cut off multiple times?. Talking about the Hydra, not sure how that worked, Hercules was cutting off its heads one after another yet it kept on coming back for more. Also I didn't really like the little imp minions of Hades, typical stereotypical Disney sidekicks purely in there for silly laughs, oh wait its a kids flick isn't it.dang!. Not sure why Hercules was drawn the way he was because he looked a bit pug ugly to me, anyone notice how big his ears were?!. The Titans were a tad cliche looking (dunno what I expected) and didn't blow me away, also a shame they used full CGI for the Hydra which looked awful. In general the Gods all looked quite good visually but I was unsure about that heavenly glow they all had, I see what they were going for but it kinda looked tacky. The only other character that stood out for me was Philoctetes perfectly voiced by De Vito, casting genius. It is of course the deadpan sarcastic fiery verbal from Woods that he's famous for and he doesn't disappoint here.minus the profanity of course. ![]() Not only does he look really cool with a brilliant design and a virtually monochromatic colour scheme, he also has a really awesome flaming blue hairdo which is such a sweet touch. Yep its true, once again the villain shines through and in this case James Woods makes Hades a very likeable guy. Loved the underworld!, wanted more time down there.Īpart from the animation the characters are a big part of any film like this and would it be any surprise if I told you the bad guy was the best?. The colour palette is really vibrant too, so rich and alive, its really beautiful to watch going from the warm pastel golds, yellows and beige of Mount Olympus and Thebes to dark shades of blues, purples and black of the underworld. It comes across like a Geddy Tartakovsky project, reminiscent of his 'Star Wars: Clone Wars' series but with less CGI and generally a bit softer in tone. Disney seem to go through different styles over time and this films style is really nice in its stark angled way. the Greek mythology as already said, and 2. The two things that attracted me to this kiddie flick were 1. The loss of his immortality and God status at the hands of Hades, his young life as a mortal and how he manages to become a God again with the help of various friends in typical wide eyed Disney manner. So off I went on the day of release back in 1997, Swiss Cottage Odeon, North London (for some reason I remember, probably because this Odeon was unusually HUGE!).Ī simple tale of Hercules life from birth up to his teenage years. An animated Disney version of Harryhausen's mythic visions? count me in. ![]() Then along came this adventure based around the magic of Greek mythology and I was hooked. For some time the animated Disney films didn't really hit me with much inspiration, by that I mean none of their outings grabbed my attention, the ideas just didn't excite me. ![]()
