Hercules was released on June 13, 1997, to positive reviews from film critics who praised James Woods's performance as Hades, but the animation (particularly the visual style) and music received a mixed response. Computer animation was used in several scenes, predominantly in the Hydra battle sequence. Animation for the film was done in California and Paris. Research trips to Greece and Turkey provided inspiration for the background designs. British cartoonist Gerald Scarfe was recruited as production designer and produced over seven hundred visualization designs of the characters. Donald McEnery, Bob Shaw, and Irene Mecchi were brought on board to revise the script. The project underwent multiple story treatments and a first script draft was inspired by the screwball comedy films of the classic Hollywood era and popular culture of the 1990s. Following an unused treatment by Haidar, Clements and Musker studied multiple interpretations of Greek mythology before abandoning Zeus's adulterous affair with Alcmene. Their project was removed from development in 1993, and Musker and Clements joined Hercules later that same year. Meanwhile, Clements and Musker re-developed their idea for Treasure Planet following the critical and commercial success of Aladdin. The film is loosely based on the legendary hero Heracles (known in the film by his Roman name, Hercules), the son of Zeus, in Greek mythology.Дevelopment of Hercules began in 1992 following a pitch adaptation of the Heracles mythological stories by animator Joe Haidar. The 35th Disney animated feature film and the eighth animated film produced during the Disney Renaissance, the film was directed by Ron Clements and John Musker. In the meantime, it will be interesting to see where Hercules ultimately falls on DisneyвЂ™s backlog, which, of course, has seen some telluric shifts over coronavirus concerns, the most notable of which was Mulan, which was moved to July 24 after it was originally scheduled for March 27.Hercules is a 1997 American animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation for Walt Disney Pictures. The casting prospect seemed to delight Disney player Josh Gad, who recently said to Variety, вЂњShe would be amazing as Meg, she would be perfect, I would love to see that happen.вЂќ While thereвЂ™s no confirmed casting for DisneyвЂ™s Hercules live-action remake, rumors are already swirling about Ariana Grande being a prime candidate to play Megara (typically shortened as Meg,) on the big screen a notion stoked by GrandeвЂ™s recent performance of-MegвЂ™s song from the movie-вЂќI WonвЂ™t Say IвЂ™m in LoveвЂќ on The Disney Family Singalong. Moreover, despite under-performing, Hercules was followed-up-in true Disney fashion-on the small screen with 1998вЂ™s short-lived DisneyвЂ™s Hercules: The Animated Series. Likewise, Hercules would not match the Academy Awards and Golden Globes accolades of those predecessors, although it did earn composers Alan Menken and David Zippel matching Oscar and Golden Globe nods for their song, вЂњGo the Distance,вЂќ which also had a single-promoted pop version sung by Michael Bolton in the closing credits. Off an $85 million budget, the 1997 film went on to gross $252,712,101 worldwide a successful take by most standards, but well below the $346,079,773 earned by immediate predecessor Pocahontas (1995), and nearly half the business of its developmental catalyst, Aladdin, which earned $504,050,219. Notably, he also co-wrote 2010вЂ™s The Expendables-alongside Sylvester Stallone himself-and retained character-creator credits on the sequels, including the fourth film, which is now in development. Yet Callaham already has quite the backlog assembled, having been tapped to write SonyвЂ™s sequel to animated hit Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and his work will next be experienced with WarnerвЂ™s recently release-delayed sequel, Wonder Woman 1984, which he co-wrote.
