Hercules and Disney....

I think that Disney did a good job of cutting out the parts that would turn away audience members. I liked the fact that Disney decided to make a good parental relationship between Hercules and his parents. It was so cute to see Zeus and little baby Hercules happy together even though we know that is not true. If Disney would have included Hercules' true colors and showed him having orgies and murdering people, it would have definitely turned away a big audience. I enjoyed the cutesy way the story was depicted. I think that when watching, it should be made clear that the actual myth of Hercules is very different than the wholesome and sweet story that Disney created. Overall I liked the way Disney changed the story in order to fit the family friendly atmosphere.
