add this to the list of images you can hear

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.

And then along came Zeus

He hurled his thunderbolt

He zapped

Locked those suckers in a vault

They're trapped

And on his own stopped

Chaos in its tracks

And that's the gospel truth

The guy was too type A to just relax

And that's the world's first dish

Zeus tamed the globe

While still in his youth

Though, honey, it may seem imposs'ble

That's the gospel truth

- “The Gospel Truth I/Main Title” from Disney’s Hercules

Honestly the fact that Disney can give Zeus his flowers more than some of you is really quite upsetting. Especially when you seem to have no issues showering Hades in a whole garden of flowers.

 h-c,

I tried to get the songs as time accurate as possible, I believe TTCMTB was set in 1969? Based on the fact the first scene was 1939 and it says 30 years later. Correct me if I’m wrong tho :)

Thomas Hewitt:

- He hadn’t meant to eavesdrop

- He’d been passing the bathroom upstairs when he heard you singing softly

- And he was enthralled

- He’d made a full stop, leaning his head towards the door so he could hear you better

- He could hear you over the water and he smiled.

- “Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cher-ee! A sweep is as lucky as lucky can be” You sung gently to yourself

- Thomas remembered the tune, you’d been singing it to yourself in the kitchen earlier.

- “Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cher-oo, good luck will rub off, when I shake ‘ands with you” You continued as you washed your hair

- You’d finished quickly, having paused your singing, as your wrapped a towel around you. opening the door to see Thomas, who looked away, awkward at having been caught

- You chuckled, asking if he’d heard you sing, and when he nodded you hummed again.

- “Or blow me a kiss, and that’s lucky too” You sung again, winking at him, as you headed back towards your bedroom, leaving the poor man standing there blushing

Bo Sinclair:

- Bo had been waiting outside the bathroom for you, towel in his hand, knowing for sure you’d forgotten to grab one, when he heard you sing

- “And then along came Zeus, he hurled his thunderbolts, he zapped, locked those suckers in a vault, they’re trapped, and on his own stopped chaos in it’s tracks” 

- He paused for a moment, frowning listening closer

- “And that’s the gospel truth! The guy was just too type A to just relax!” You carried on and he almost chuckled, and he could imagine you dancing in the shower

- “And that’s the worlds first dish! Zeus tamed the globe while still in his youth, though honey it may seem imposs’ble, that’s the gospel truth!

- You kept on singing as you stepped out of the shower.

- “On Mt. Olympus life was neat and smooth as sweet vermouth. Though honey, it may seem imposs’ble, that’s the gospel truth!” You sing. and finish as Bo knocks on the door, which you open a crack, hiding behind it as he shoves a towel through the gap

- “Thought you might be needing this Beyonce” He joked as you took it, thanking him

- You knew you wouldn’t hear the end of this

I didn't realize that those were tree branches at first in the drawing so all I could imagine is that meme that goes "And the along came Zeus! He hurled his thunderbolt". My brain and eyes don't work but hey at least I thought of something funny

HAHA yea they do look kinda like lightning

[mecthology]

Cyclops from Greek mythology.

Fearing their power, the cyclops were thrown into the pits of Tartarus by their father Uranus. The monsters remained imprisoned when the titan Cronus overthrew Uranus and took his place as ruler of the universe. It was only when the Olympians came to power did the cyclops find freedom. The mighty Zeus released the monsters, who in turn would craft thunderbolts for the young Olympian.

Perhaps the most famous story involving a cyclops involves Odysseus and his woeful travels. In book 9 of The Odyssey, Odysseus and his crew find themselves trapped in the cave of the mighty cyclops, Polyphemus. The monster blocks their escape and devours the flesh of his captives day after day. Being known for his cleverness, Odysseus devises a plan to escape.

Odysseus offers to Polyphemus wine that the traveler brought along from his ship. The cyclops indulges and is soon very drunk. Feeling joyful, the monster asks the man his name. Odysseus replies that his name is “nobody.” When Polyphemus falls asleep from intoxication, Odysseus and him men blind the cyclops by stabbing him in the eye with a sharpened staff. Polyphemus, now enraged, cries out to the other cyclops of the island that “Nobody” has blinded him.

Odysseus and him men then escape from the cave of the monster by harnessing themselves to the under bellies of the numerous sheep that Polyphemus shepherds. Now completely blind, the monster feels the backs of the animals as they leave to graze; the cyclops is unaware that his captives are escaping silently, hiding under his flock. As Odysseus sails away, he boasts to the defeated monster who in turn attempts to sink the man’s ship by hurling boulders from a high cliff.

Gospel Truth I, Hercules

“And then along came ZEUS

He hurled his thunderbolt

He zapped

Locked those suckers in a vault

They're trapped

And on his own stopped

chaos in its tracks!”

Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon: 

[missmitchieg]

Back when the world was new The planet Earth was down on its luck And everywhere gigantic brutes Called Titans ran amok

It was a nasty place There was a mess Wherever you stepped Where chaos reigned and Earthquakes and volcanoes never slept

And then along came Zeus He hurled his thunderbolt He zapped Locked those suckers in a vault They're trapped And on his own stopped Chaos in its tracks And that's the gospel truth The guy was too type A to just relax

And that's the world's first dish Zeus tamed the globe While still in his youth Though, honey, it may seem imposs'ble That's the gospel truth

On Mt. Olympus life was neat and Smooth as sweet vermouth Though, honey, it may seem imposs'ble That's the gospel truth

Back when the world was new

The planet Earth was down on its luck

And everywhere gigantic brutes

Called Titans ran amok

It was a nasty place

There was a mess

Whereever you stepped

Where chaos reigned and

Earthquakes and volcanoes never slept

And then along came Zeus

He hurled his thunderbolt

He zapped

Locked those suckers in a vault

They're trapped

And on his own stopped

Chaos in its tracks
