My Favorite Disney Hero: Hercules
I thought for today I would go with the obvious answer and choose Hercules because he went from "zero to hero just like that!" But in all seriousness at first Hercules was only trying to be a hero for the fortune and fame and then he realized that a life on Earth would be better for him than any life of leisure as a god. He discovered the true meaning of selflessness and love when he placed the value of others lives before his own. He took Meg's place in order to save her life, a truly heroic act. Of course he also fought a 3 headed monster that turned into a 21 head monster quickly, he took down Hades, and proved to the entire god world that he was a hero. I love all the songs in this movie and the characters, especially Phil and the singing ladies--My favorite quotes have to be: "Hercules? Honey, you mean Hunkules!" and by Phil: So, ya wanna be a hero, kid? Well, whoop-de-do! I have been around the block before with blockheads just like you. Each and ev'ryone a disappointment, pain for which there ain't no ointment--So much for excuses, though a kid of Zeus is asking me to jump into the fray my answer is two words - O.K." Of course he says "O.K" because he is struck by a lightening bolt.
So the next time someone asks you who your favorite Disney hero is always remember---who put the glad in gladiator? Hercules!
