Heracles?
One feature that he has that makes him an unlikely hero is that he brings harm to innocent people. Although it is unintentional that doesn't usually happen in Disney movies. This coupled with his fits of madness that compels him to go on rants of destruction does not make for a very good Disney hero. His anger makes him do harmful things to people around him even killing him. Hercales also killed his wife and children. All of death that surrounds him does not make for a good Disney movie of character. Disney had seriously revise the plot line of the Hercales story to make it an apporpiate story for the disney franchise.

I really like what you said here. This is a really good description of Hercules and how his story needed to be altered to be a Disney movie.
ReplyDeleteEven in the Disney movie, interestingly, Hercules' super powers are not completely unproblematic although they do refrain from showing him as a murderer.
