    Disney releases its first movie that branches away of its fairy tale inspired films in 1997, and focuses on the Greek myth involving the son of Zeus named Hercules (Parada, “The Original Hercules and Disney’s”). Even though it originates from the myth, the Disney adaption of Hercules differs from the myth to make the content more suitable for its young audience and similar to society’s norms, and the differences are evident in the origins of Hercules, the role of Megara, and the becoming a hero. From the start of the movie, the audience is able to see the differences and the similarities between the Disney’s movie and the myth with the birth of Hercules and the role of the snakes.
