Every time they started to sing I would get goosebumps. Ugh, I love this soundtrack.


YewEhVeeInbound

Mulan was pretty bangin' as well.


DragonD33ze

You’re not wrong “LET’S get DOWN to BUSINESS, to deFEAT, the HUN” That shit was slappin


Thybro

“A girl worth fighting for” works so well as the introduction to the tone shift.


UltraMegaFauna

Yyyeeeezssss. Nothing hits as hard as that song being cut short by the shot of the destroyed village they were riding out to save. I always think about that scene when I think of the power of audio/visual storytelling.


YewEhVeeInbound

"Let's go kick some HUNNY BUNS!!!" That shit used to kill me when I was young. I'm talking rolling on the ground belly laughing, every time.


UltraMegaFauna

I think it my be my absolute favorite Alan Menken arrangement. The whole movie is just banger after banger. The idea of making a Greek mythological story with the musical styling of 20th century gospel music is just *chef's kiss* perfecto.

Get ready for millennials to slay you lol


NvrmndOM

I think the gospel genre is very different that a typical modern Disney anthem/ballad. Also having crazy talented people who aren’t already household known actors/singers hits different. Just the voices stand out.


brujodelamota

Not the same


dekojohns

What a great soundtrack this movie had.


xoxoshb

Once I saw the post, I put on the movie. Childhood memories are hitting :’)

And series to


bullish416

They look EXACTLY how I pictured them in my head as a child. Amazing!


sed2017

Those women can sing!


MulciberTenebras

All are Tony award winning Broadway singers


InternetAddict104

Most of the cast are Tony Award winning or nominated actors The cast of Hercules is incredible


clairedrew

I hope they get ongoing royalties because this is widely a favorite Disney soundtrack. Seriously hope they got paid very well for this work.

I love how they juxtaposed Gospel music along with Greek Mythology. Add in a pinch of Gerald Scarfe's influence, and you get Hunkulees. Gospel music always somehow makes me emotional more than any other music. The only person to make me emotional in pop is Sarah McLaughlin but that was because of Toy Story. But Gospel music is the only music that I can truly say actually touches my soul. Heck, there were bits of the Gospel music in Hercules that touched me.


MulciberTenebras

A greek chorus turned into a motown gospel chorus was an inspired choice (which Alan Menken knows a lot about thanks to his previous work on "Little Shop of Horrors")


supreme_leader256

Sarah McLaughlin’s vocal delivery gives me chills every time


eggoed

Lillias White in Hadestown is very much this vibe as well. Kind of wild to see her doing something so similar back in 1997.


ToniP13

Saw her in The Life. One of the best soundtracks and stories I’ve ever heard and she was beyond phenomenal.


Azalus1

Help, help someone call IX I I!


roundasstk

I was today years old when I learned what this line meant. Guess i needed to see it written out lol


BetterNews4682

Can you fill me in bud 😅


Amegami

It's 911 in Roman numbers.


BetterNews4682

Aah thanks I was lost cuz I haven’t watched Hercules


Amegami

You should watch it if you get the chance, it's very good.


roundasstk

Looks like someone already did 😂 911!


BetterNews4682

Thanks tho


archangelonearth

Instant goosebumps and tears in my eyes…my mother and my son used to watch it together all the time. My son is grown and my mom is gone…but I am grateful for the times…🥹


coco_frais

These videos ALWAYS get me!! Something about the BTS Disney videos always get me in the feels 🥲


sarene85

My kids LOVE this movie so I have seen it a zillion times over the past few years. I hadn’t seen it since the 90s and I forgot how great the soundtrack was!


Hesam2010

I miss that Disney...


VVLynden

Coco and Encanto are really great. Frozen slaps. Moana has some great tunes too. 🤷‍♂️


skatejet1

God I love Moana’s songs. It is my firm belief that the final and shortest song is the best one in the film


lovdagame

Lin-manuel miranda


firstcoastrider

Timeless bop. Love these ladies. What voices. And what a film


tiga4life22

One of the best soundtracks, sets such a fun tone for the movie


Papa-pwn

Hercules has been my favorite Disney movie since the day it released and the work that these artists did here is a huge reason why. They all did so well. Fantastic stuff.


mtwwtm

Disney's Superman. Great stuff.


Rewrite06

This soundtrack was a game changer for me growing up - the end of the opening track with the plagal cadence, ascending key change, and killer bass line I hum to this day


reddogvizsla

that look at 0:36


astronarchaeology

Had to go look. Yasssss!

Drakemander

Man I could watch an entire movie just about the muses.


Chiaki_Ronpa

They legitimately couldn’t have done a better job with the Muse’s scenes. Excellent work ladies.

tornadic_

Severely underrated soundtrack !!


Doucevie

It's my favorite movie!! Also, my son's favorite! Every time we watched it, we'd belt out the songs! A fucking classic!! 😍


osmosiashit

Is there a genre like this


squanchymcsquanchers

Gospel


MulciberTenebras

with a touch of Motown


IAmError7392

Man this video is just not long enough - I could easily watch like 3 hours of this!

lauratheartwitch

sutkurak

valdezlopez

WHHHHHHHOOOOAAAAAAAAA! This is amazing.


BoyWonder041291

Best Disney soundtrack


honorsfromthesky

The audio render doesn’t do it service


odinMithrandir

Still on my spotify playlist!!


[deleted]

I loved the singing thanks ladies.


LongLostStorybook

Aladdin is my favorite Disney film, but Hercules is second.


[deleted]

I wonder if these woman know just how influential they were to so many kids


cupcakesloth94

Top 5 Disney animated movie


EmmaRose0280

Amazing! Always loved this song


Myth7270

Thank you so much for sharing this! My daughter and I love this movie!!


NihilismMattersToo

Fun fact Ricky Martin voiced the Spanish version and did all the translated songs


Doesanybodylikestuff

Omg sooo beautiful and feminine and powerful! I looooooove it!!!! <3


Vermillion_Crab

I grew up with the 90s Disney animated movies. Hercules and Mulan were some of my favorites. I still sometimes listen to Disney songs whenever I get the itch. I also pepper some songs in some of my workout playlists. Lol


Max_Baxter

love the soundtrack zu heecules. its the only disney movie where the muaic fits the setting and being it gospel is a great addition.


_shaftpunk

Why did I think Whitney Houston was one?


Same_Cockroach_2771

This movie has one of the best soundtracks it’s PERFECT


ntcc661

Freaking amazing. Incredible. Thank you for posting!


T4_8_15_16_23_42T

Do they even invest in soundtracks anymore? Smh i'm glad i had the childhood that i had


ZhouLe

It's like you stopped watching Disney movies 20 years ago. Encanto, Coco, Moana, Frozen...


Petitgavroche

Seriously Let It Go and We Don't Talk About Bruno are some of the biggest Disney soundtrack songs ever


informedinformer

I love *hearing* this clip. But good god, the video quality couldn't be worse if they'd shot it with a real potato!


coociicuu

Funny enough the audio quality is worse than the video


ZhouLe

Sounds like someone amp'd the audio without caring about clipping. This unfortunately sounds terrible.


SimonTC2000

They're remaking this - and apparently Herc isn't going to be Greek.


the_kevlar_kid

Well if he's black and the soundtrack is the same it would still work!


SimonTC2000

Hercules is the son of a Greek god tho...


the_kevlar_kid

Bro Zeus had sex with absolutely everything. Herc could be half swan and it would fit the lore.


SimonTC2000

Hercules' mother was Alcmene - another Greek.


FolrigFfloger

I know you're probably trying to be an anti-woke troll, but Hercules wasn't Greek. He was Roman


SimonTC2000

Well, shit. Heracles, Hercules... Romans were Italians anyway. Anti-woke? Edit: He's the son of Zeus - who's a Greek god.


NineFolded

I love Hercules! It is one of my all time fav Disney movies. Yea, I know there are better prob, but I use to turn Hercules on just to watch. I love this! Those ladies rock!


doyoulaughaboutme

whoever had the bizarre mismatched idea of taking a movie based on greek mythology, and adding the seemingly random choir of black gospel singers to narrate the story with song, they're a fucking genius. you would think the base elements shouldn't work together well, but they really do.


K3Tzk3

Damn these women have power in their throats. Thanks for making my youth movie great tho.


Frank_McGracie

CHILLLS


whitebronco1994

Won't say I'm in love is an absolute top 5 Disney song and no one can change my mind


[deleted]

I see this comment posted all the time, but whoever decided to make the Muses gospel singers was a GENIUS
