Critics consensus

“Fast-paced and packed with dozens of pop culture references, Hercules might not measure up with the true classics of the Disney pantheon, but it's still plenty of fun.”

Disney has found a Grecian formula that promises to be an Olympic-sized hit.

Bursting with action and over-the-top goofiness, it's the most energetic animation to come out of Disney since Aladdin.

RTSt. Louis Post-DispatchDec 18, 2024

In the galaxy of Disney movies, it's near the top but not among the greatest like Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast and the original 101 Dalmatians. Still, a good-but-not-great Disney is Olympian fields ahead of the competition's best.

Dazzling the eye, pleasing the ear, tickling the funny bone -- these are all the things you'd want from a musical comedy. And Hercules delivers, big time.
