Reflection on Disney's Hercules

I welcome a number of the choices made for Disney's adaptations that make it far easier for audiences to understand. Although I recognize that the 12 feats of strength are central to the original myth of Hercules, depicting all of them in such a manner as Disney would animate them in wouldn't be feasible for a feature-length film, so getting it down to just the hydra, the most recognizable, is a good choice that gets Hercules's strength across as interestingly as possible while still remaining at a brisk pace. I also like the removal of Hera's fits of madness, as for adapting the myth into a movie, it makes the story unnecessarily convoluted and removing it doesn't affect Hercules' character in any major way. I do not like the reducing of names down to more typical western names, however, as it appears to almost utterly whitewash the film. Also, although his performance is incredible, Hades as a villain is incredibly cliche and doesn't create any significant relations between the hero and the villain, such as in The Lion King, and I feel that altering this from the myth is a detriment to the story.
