neutral · AI labelView post →Megara from Hercules This movie was reponsible for making me obsessed with Mythology, alongside Saint Seiya of course.
neutral · AI labelView post →Also, raise your hand if *this* is how you learned that they made a Hercules movie with Dwayne Johnson in 2014...
neutral · AI labelView post →Red Robin Colossus Burger (2014-2014): A burger patty topped with chopped smoked brisket, provolone cheese, lettuce, grilled onions, and Red Robin's "Campfire" and "Triple S" BBQ sauces, served on a sesame seed bun. Released as a promotional tie-in for the Dwayne Johnson "Hercules" film
neutral · AI labelView post →Susan Egan says she would cast Tom Holland and Zendaya in a live-action adaptation of ‘HERCULES.’ (via DEADLINE) Egan voiced Megara in the 1997 animated movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Hercules is such a fun animated movie. They really don’t make them like this anymore
positive · AI labelView post →The English-speaking world has developed a huge overeducated cohort at the same time our mass media has abandoned even aspirational middlebrow entertainment like the erotic thriller. We're stuck talking about the equivalent of a Police Academy sequel, or a Steeve Reeves Hercules movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Finally got some time to film another process video! Enjoy making a Hercules friend with me! 💚
neutral · AI labelView post →Went to an LA Opera performance last night where they played a campy Italian film called Hercules vs. Vampires, with subtitles, stripped the sound, had a live orchestra play and live opera singers song the subtitles.
neutral · AI labelView post →Hercules doesn't have a song that I can point to that tops out every other Disney song ever, but every other Disney movie has at least one or two stinkers *except* Hercules. The slow "I'm in love" song is a bop. The goofy sidekick song for the VA who can't sing still slaps. It's all so good.
positive · AI labelView post →In Hercules (1983) Lou Ferrigno hurls a frickin’ bear into space. Why bother shooting films anymore when cinema already peaked in this moment?.  
neutral · AI labelView post →"Hercules Footage Report". The final weekly report. We used "footage" to asses the work total. (1 foot = 16 frames of 35mm film). The goal was to average 5' a week (16x5 =80 frames). My own animation total was 4 minutes of the film. Along with supervising others, and attending countless meetings.
neutral · AI labelView post →Some of you probably remember this himbo Hercules from the 1997 film. Let's reimagine the scene where he regains his god-glow after becoming a true Hero. Hercules' muscles expand as the glow intensifies. His bulge inflates as his cock and balls strain the fabric that used to cover it comfortably...
neutral · AI labelView post →I've probably talked smack about Disney movies or even about "Disney adults" on here at some point, but Hercules has legitimately slapped since I was 8 years old, to this very day this movie is *good*
positive · AI labelView post →I know it is hardly a fresh take at this point but god it is wild how much this movie is just "we mushed up Hercules with Superman" and how much it rules
positive · AI labelView post →My son is finally moving away from wanting to watch Nightmare Before Christmas nonstop. We've moved on to Turning Red, Mulan, and Hercules. Hercules is my absolute favorite Disney film, so I'm glad he's enjoying it.

positive · AI labelView post →Remember when the movie Hercules did "What are those?" before it was a meme.
neutral · AI labelView post →Outraged social media posts have falsely claimed this video shows a "woke" preview of a live-action Disney remake of "Hercules." The footage is actually from the music video for Lizzo's 2021 song "Rumors," with music from the 1997 film dubbed over. factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

neutral · AI labelView post →Stroker Ace (1983): Possibly Burt Reynolds' worst film. Firewalker (1986): Not an awful film, but worth mocking savagely. Hercules (1983): Lou Ferrigno solves all his problems by just throwing shit into space! Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time (1991): Dude... It's Beastmaster 2!

Bava is his own DP here, and he GOES FOR IT 2. Christopher Lee is the heavy 3. totally a Hercules film, no doubt, but always feels 100% like a Mario Bava flick 4. It rules🔥🔥🔥

positive · AI labelView post →For millenials of a certain age, the Muses from Disney’s Hercules were the first Black animated characters we’d ever seen. They made that movie great. ✨
positive · AI labelView post →Due to the lack of hot men in the same movie, the Hercules Mystery Gifts will be crossovers.
neutral · AI labelView post →How crazy would i sound if I thought Hercules feels like a dreamworks film?
neutral · AI labelView post →If Disney's "Hercules" bothered to follow the actual mythology in any way. Hades wouldn't have been the villain of the film. THAT PSYCHO BITCH would have been.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ready to get some peplum? Sword and sandal genres were ufsed with Gothic horror for entries in the cycle back in the 60's; Hercules in the Haunted World was the kind of film made. Mario Bava brings his creative A-game and Christopher Lee models a bowl cut. 3/5 film-authority.com/2025/04/09/h...
