 CK> Yoo Hoo, Blanca & Fidonet Disney Echo EchoEARS!
Hi! :)
 CK> Hey, it's OK to discuss all the little jokes, animations, songs and
 CK> other stuff about Hercules, even the merchandise of it.  Hercules
 CK> merchandise go ahead and talk about, the movie please put a "spoiler"
 CK> as Blanca did.  Disney theme park shows and parades go ahead and
 CK> discuss.  Hercules is what Disney current product is all about right
 CK> now, that and "George of the Jungle" live action movie.    So feel
 
 I like George of the jungle. I think it's hilarious. (Sp?) I love that show.
 
 CK> free to chat!  What did anyone else think of Hercules?  Like it?
 CK> Not?  How does it compare to Aladdin or other Disney animated films?
 I liked it. Dad loved it. Dusney movies all make me cry, and this ine, 
 wasn't the excpetion.

 BA>  > =) Or   is it a pure comedy?

 BA>  Not excactly, but it has comedy.
 CK> The film has _tons_ of comedy and a lot of in-jokes.  You have to see
 CK> it several times to "get" all the little references and one-liner
 CK> jokes. 
 
 Well, maybe I didn't get all of the in-jokes. Maybe that's it. :)
 
 BA>  > Action packed?
 BA>
 BA>  Well... 50-50
 CK> The animation involving the hydra fight was very well done.
 
 Oh yes, I for gat all about the hydra.  :)
 BA>  > Anything with animals (except fish)?
 BA>
 BA>  And pegasus, and Phill.... :)
 CK> The hydra too!
                   
 The hydra?? Oh yes!! I'm telling you, I forgot all about the hydra. :( :)
 BA>  > Is   the soundtrack good?
 BA>
 BA>   I haven't herd the soundtrack.
 BA>
 BA>  > What songs are there? =)
 BA>
 BA>   I haven't herd the soundtrack.
 CK> Yes you have... you saw the movie so you heard the soundtrack!  (Doh!
 CK> ;-)) 
 
   *:/ Well, you know what I mean. (The CD?) :)
 
 CK> The soundtrack, when heard by itself without having seen the film,
 CK> sounds a little different than past Disney fare.  After you see
 CK> Hercules you understand the soundtrack a lot better.  It's based on
 CK> black gospel/R & B/ 50's-60's pop girl group/"Grease" type music.
 
   I loved the songs, (How yuo call them? The ladies that where dressed in 
   white? Since I saw it Spanish, the name I have for it is "Musas")
 
 BA>  > Who made the songs/score?
 BA>
 BA>  Alan Menken,(Or someting like that)
 CK> Music and original score by Alan Menken and lyrics by David Zippel. 
 CK> On Usenet there is a strong rumor that Alan Menken is leaving
 CK> association with Disney and moving on to other things.
 
 Why?!
 
 BA>  > Any   great computer animations, too? Love and Light, =)
 BA>
 BA>   Very beautifull. :)
 CK> The animation style is inspired by a British cartoonist, whose name
 CK> escapes me now.  You see it in how the various gods are drawn.
 You know, persons I know are saying that the Japanese animators all draw 
 eyes that don't look like Japanese eyes. The reason is, they got inspired on 
 the way Disney draws the eyes. 
 
 CK> not just Disney.  It seems like the major studios are all releasing
 CK> what they hope will be "blockbusters" and there's just a lot of
 CK> competition, weird summer movie season in the US.
 Yes. Well, I have a strong recomendation from a friend that MIB is a great 
 movie, and that he recomends Hercules and MIB for great movies. 
 Bye!
 Blanca.
