Disney's Hercules "Zero to Hero"?
What do the muses sing: "Now he's a honcho" or "Now he's a hot shot"? I've seen many different lyrics websites, some say honcho and some say hot shot. I listened to the song and it's really not clearly audible. I'd prefer hot shot, its meaning fits better in my opinion. Wikipedia says: A honcho is a boss or a leader, usually high up in the hierarchy. "Hot Shot"(American Slang), A person of impressive skill and daring, especially one who is highly successful and self-assured. So what do you think, or who knows the official lyrics?

Why are some of Disney's animated films like Hercules, The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Rescuers underrated?
Some saw Hercules as too hectic and a ripoff of 1978's Superman (boy is born to parents of an other-worldly place, boy is removed from family, boy is adopted and raised by an elderly couple of Earth, boy goes off to discover their origins during his teen years, boy runs into a thing which acts as guidance from his father, boy grows into man, man becomes well-known, man meets snarky love interest, man must save the world under a time-pressured circumstance, snarky love interest is killed while man is saving the world, then is revived by man defying Earthly laws.). For The Hunchback of Notre Dame, many were turned off by its dark themes (religious corruption, an old man's lust for a very sexualized female protagonist, and implied genocide. Also an innocent mother dies 5 minutes into the film. The magic of Disney!) Once again, the Rescuers was quite popular in its time, but has just sorta faded from the public eye. The Sword in the Stone, The Great Mouse Detective, and Oliver & Company have gone through the same thing, too.

Did Disney produce Hercules 2 or any sequel to their movie Hercules?
Yes. Well technically, a prequel, really a midquel, like "The Lion King 1 1/2".In August of 1999 "Hercules: Zero to Hero" was released. It was a direct to video. It was a release edit of the aptly named Disney Channel animated series "Hercules: The Animated Series".Overall the series wasn't bad, per say, but the movie edit was wanting in the least.Both explore the life of young Hercules pre Hero status, and after meeting Philoctetes "Phil".
Which Disney movie do you like better: Hercules or The Hunchback of Notre Dame?
Both good, but The Hunchback of Notre Dame has a lot more meat on its bones, better songs and characters, more complex content, better graphics, and terrific performances from its vocal stars.
