When you watch a Disney musical and a song comes on, do you listen to the lyrics? Or just dance along to the little tune? I am arguing that the lyrics within the songs of Disney’s “Hercules” are full of meaning, they add to the characters, plot lines, and themes of the overall film. Characters have their solo moment, where their raw emotion is captured through the depth of feeling in the lyrics they sing. Several songs help key moments in the plot stand out and aid in its natural flow for a captivating and well paced tale. The expression heard in these songs signified the importance that the myriad of themes bring to this epic. The songs of “Hercules” are some of the most memorable and thus impossible to overlook.
