Finally got around to watching this. Megara a cutie. What was the deal with all the black soul sister singing?

the black soul singing was cool though

It was a cultural thing.

my first boner - ah... memories.

Did Greece have black people?

>What was the deal with all the black soul sister singing?
they were the chorus

Neat

We wuz Greekz 'n Sheeeeeeet

It was for fun.

Memnon was an Ethiopian king who fought for King Priam in the Trogan War.

The muses were unironically the best part of the movie

DUDE 60'S REFERENCES IN A MOVIE AIMED AT CHILDREN BORN IN THE 90'S

It's for adults watching the movie as well, brainlet

Which references?

IF THERE'S A PRICE FOR ROTTEN JUDGEMENT

Whoa. Thanks, user. Someone paid attention in history class.

Disney often chooses a musical genre or style for their movies like jazz for Jungle Book, tribal African for Lion King and gospel for the chorus in Hercules.

It just so happens that all the cool music is black music.

Also I never saw Rapatouille but I assume it was about a mouse who cooks up some tasty beats.

HONEY YOU MEAN HUNKULES!

>Rapatouille

The fuck are you talking about

It was RATatouille, nigger. As in, a rat that can cook?

ZERO TO HERO

Wasn't this film banned in Greece of they hate the shit out of it?

Hercules was part Ethiopian as well

They were the Muses, dumbo.

It's the most high-class pun put in a Disney movie. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-figure_pottery

Also, friendly reminder that I Won't Say I'm In Love has a scene with rape-statues that just looked like happy love-statues when watched on VHS because of the quality making them blurry.

> rape-statues that just looked like happy love-statue
I'm not sure I understand

Only you and Doug hate the movie, fuck off.

They hated it, but I don’t think it was banned. You might be confusing it for The Prince of Egypt, which was banned in the eponymous country.

It was gospel music, because they were gods. It was actually pretty clever.

Throughout the number she's walking by a whole bunch of statues that depict loving couples. But at the point where she's singing "I thought my heart had learnt its lesson" she walks down a path filled with these statues. On VHS you'd have to really be paying attention to notice the difference, since it's just some more blurry statues in a dark scene. These aren't lovers, it's women being pestered or kidnapped by various half-beasts, which the ancient greeks thought were ruled by their animal nether-parts and thus rapists. I'm also pretty sure the women are all wearing blind-folds which they've removed from their eyes and thus revealed the deceit. Basically, they're all depicting being fooled by love and ending up with a beast, which is exactly what Megara's afraid will happen again. But that layer isn't noticeable in low-quality releases, and the subtext of rapist half-animals isn't something people expect in a Disney movie either.

The centaur that Hercules "saves" Megara from is also covered in dick and balls design-wise, which I don't think was a coincidence.

So why did James Woods have her soul?

thanks for the explanation

also about the centaur: the concept artist, lead animator, or something else important was the same guy who animated the wall segment of the pink floyd movie, which is rife with that sort of shit

Pretty sure that woman in front right is doing a fist pump cause she is about to get a big ol horse cock user

I meant front left but the point stands

those are muses, also like a chorus, it's very classical

Because she voted democrat

>Children's adventure film doesn't follow ancient maniscripts down to the letter
>Autists shriek and writhe
You get the same phenomenon with cuisine, dare to experiment in any way and you get furies soaring down your throat wailing about "authenticity"

Now that you mention it, her face DOES look like a chaturbate girl I've seen stuffing her ass with dragon dildos...
