Rating:  - Disney's Hercules: An Original Walt Disney Records Soundtrack
Wonderful buy even if the price was a little bit high. Has all the songs from this move.
Including "I Will go the Distance" and "I Won't Say I'm in Love"
Great CD!
Rating:  - And that's the Gospel of Truth!
This was the start of something a bit new. Daivd Zippel & Alan Menken. Once more, Disney goes for bringing adult stories to Disney light. Not many people like this movie because it's untruthful to actual myth. I mean, it'd been nice to see a movie of Hercules doing the ten labors, saving women, but... that's not really what kids want in a disney movie.
But what they DID do is give some greek feel to the music and score. After all, the Muses were the goddesses of art and song, so it makes it fit for them to be telling the story.
Long Ago...--Charleton Heston (famous from Planet of the Apes) does a nice little prologue to the story.
The Gospel of Truth I/Main Titles--David Zippel has catchy lyrics but a more different way of arranging them than Schwartz does. It's complexed, but it rules.
Gospel of Truth--People would think Hades is a bad guy, 'cause he's the greek form of the devil. But if you understand what is right or wrong about this song, it's not that bad.
Go The Distance--I was told by one of my friends that this song was used a lot in the olympics. I never knew that, but pushing that aside, I like it. Also Roger Bart has an amazing singing voice, soon to be a star of The Producers around this time, and possibly starring in You're a Good Man Charlie Brown as Snoopy, I love his singing voice.
Go The Distance (Reprise)--This is nothing new, but it's great to hear Roger's voice again.

Rating: - Wonderful Music From An Underrated Film
"Hercules" is one of my favorite Disney films. It was just a fun tale that was loose and free for the viewing. There was a little morality in it, what with Herc learning that it isn't the size of a hero's muscles or his popularity that makes him a hero, but what's in his heart. However, the best thing about this flick is that it's just great to watch. The music isn't half bad either. In fact, I loved this film and its music so much that I purchased both when they first became available.
This disc is full of wonderful, gospel-tinged Disney music that bleeds Alan Menken. He did a great job with this album. Also, Michael Bolton finally made me notice him with "Go The Distance."
Pick this up to hear the music from a film that never really did get the respect it deserved. It's wonderful.
Rating: - Love that Herc
I myself am a Greek mythology lover-so when I had my kids- I had to get them this movie(well also for myself too) It is very well done-characters are so funny and cute-Danny DeVito is fabulous as Philoctetes (Phil) and Tate Donovan is a perfect fit as the naive, sweet,innocent yet strong Hercules. Rip Torn (with his strong voice) plays Zeus superbly. James Woods (who mostly plays bad guys and does it well)plays the evil Hades-Lord of the Underworld.
I recommend it highly for your movie library.
Rating: - Fun for the whole family!
Great singers, great songs! A light-hearted soundtrack with real talent. The Muses carry the cd with their amazing voices and excited delivery, church choir style with alot of heart. Danny DeVito sings the likable One Last Hope and Susan Egan provides the raspy vocals for the catchy I Won't Say(I'm In Love). Good clean fun but warning!!!! the songs get stuck in your head!
