| A classic Disney animaited movie
If there's a recipe of how to make a great animation movie that adults and kids can have fun from it, Hercules would be one of the best representative for this recipe. It's a really good movie and everyone can enjoy it.

For me the main theme of the movie was finding home, as the movie journey was how to back home after he cursed living with the people. Also there's a lot of sub themes like (Good vs. Evil) and our villain was great and he was a terrifying villain unlike the villains of other Disney movies such as (Frozen,Beauty and the beast,Zootopia) as their villains were not a big threat for our main character. And of course there was the theme of love.

I got the superhero movies vibes in the second act as Hercules is a kind of a superhero.
