Ariana Grande Covers Too♡ Complete YouTube Playlist of Songs from Disney's "Hercules"♩

Have you ever seen Hercules?

The Disney animated feature film Hercules released in 1997＊

This work was created during the Disney Renaissance period (1989-1999), when many classics like Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin were born,

and is based on Greek mythology with a completely original story♩

What is the story about?

The protagonist is Hercules, born to the god Zeus. He is an honest and justice-oriented young man＊

(It became a topic of discussion that TOKIO's Matsuoka-kun voiced the character in the Japanese dubbed version! By the way, the voice for young Hercules was done by Akiyama Jun, who has already left Johnny's.)

However, Hercules lives in the human world from childhood due to a wicked plot by Hades, the god of the underworld.

As he grows up, he realizes that he is not human but a god, and he aims to become a true hero to return to his divine origins!

That is the story＊

There is also a meeting with Meg, who appears mysterious but has a pure heart (voiced by Kudo Shizuka in the Japanese version),

and the unique world view that combines Disney characteristics with Greek mythology has been highly praised since its release♡

It is a work that still has many devoted fans even now.
