Hercules is the most visually creative of the Disney Reneissance films. If not any Disney film ever.
The three Fates sharing an eye.
Hades’ flaming hair.
The various designs of the mythological monsters and titans.
The diverse faces and body types of all the minor characters.
It’s a very visually engaging movie.
How could I forget the Underworld
And the opening sequence
Y’all need to get off Walter Disney’s cock
Jeez, I just said the movie looks nice. No need to get antsy.
Also like, pretty sure WD didn’t make that movie. It was the effort of various animators who sometimes get overlooked because we don’t see them WORKING on it for so many days, just the two hour long result.
Pretty sure that Walt Disney didn’t work on Hercules since it came out decades after he died.
Fun fact! The reason Hercules has such a unique style is because Musker and Clements brought illustrater Gerald Scarfe (famous for his work on Pink Floyd’s The Wall) to be the conceptual character artist. His original character designs are wild
Hey kids, did you know that you can be critical of a company and acknowledge how shitty it is in its business practices, and
appreciate that it produces a lot of good art, much of which is created
by artists and animators who have nothing whatsoever to do with the
aforementioned shitty business practices?
Fucking wild that you can do that.
I’m glad this thread went exactly where I wanted it to
Ok so there’s these tidal islands in Northern Germany that are connected by little tiny trains that you have to drive yourself, which is already delightfully ghibli-esque.
But then I found out UNTIL THE 196OS, THE TRAINS HAD LITTLE SAILS AND WERE WIND-POWERED?
THAT’S THE MOST GHIBLI THING TO EVER EXIST ON THIS PLANET, BRING IT BACK YOU MONSTERS.
