Another great Disney movie from the 90's is Hercules. This is the story of the son of Zeus and his attempt to get back to his home of Mount Olympus. How did he get to earth you ask? Well Hades who is the God of the Underworld poisoned him because he knew that the only way he could be stopped from overturning Zeus as the Ruler of Olympus was from Hercules. Hercules is raised on Earth but never really fits in because of his super-human strength. He gets a trainer so he can become a "True Hero" as his father told him he would have to become to return home. Philoctetes, better known as Phil, trains him to become the best hero ever. He also has a great mode of transportation in his flying horse Pegasus. It would be a close race between Hercules on Pegasus and Aladdin on the magic carpet, but that's besides the point. He goes through many trials and battles before the final battle against Hades but there is one problem he falls for a girl named Meg. We all know now that the woman would be the fall of Hercules but of course he perseveres through it all and regains his place at the top of Mount Olympus. There are a few twists here and there but I won't ruin it for the younger kids out there who have yet to see the movie. Another random fact about the movie is that there is a cameo from another Disney villain I'm sure most of you know who I'm talking about but for those who don't, Scar from Lion King makes a cameo in a weird way.
