I was listening to Disney's Hercules soundtrack, and gosh, I love it! :D
It was such a ingenious idea to combine gospel with Greek mythology! The Zero To Hero sequence is a great representation of its soundtrack as a whole and combine such beautiful visuals, amazing animation with this perfect tune:
No wonder they took this catchy musical number and used it as opening theme for the Hercules cartoon series that followed the movie:
"even if it did take everything from Greek Mythology and change it completely" one) it's just a movie (and a cartoony one at that) two) because other movies (and specifically Disneys) do respect their own mythos? Like Pinnochio or Peter Pan are faithful adaptations, right? :P
Silly Frob~ Hercules' EPIC! In every and all aspects! The adaptations in the plot are there because, well, it is an adaptation, period! ;)
But that's what all (Disney or not) movie usually do with their own mythos :P (seriously go back to Snow White, going through Aladdin, Peter Pan & co!) The only difference is that people tend to have better knowledge of greek mythology more so than knowing perfectly their litterateur.
