User blog comment:That Epic/Disney Movie Ranking!/@comment-1874924-20140529063005

Hercules: Of course the Muses are basically just exposition, because that's the role of the Chorus in ancient Greek plays. They're narrators. As for Hades, he's much closer to the Christian devil than to anything out of classical mythology.

Pocahontas: Disney always makes a lot of changes to the source material, and this is no exception. The biggest change is that the real Pocahontas was only 10 or 11 years old. She eventually went to England, married an Englishman (not John Smith, by the by), took the English name of Rebecca Wolfe, and died at the age of 22 from some European disease that she had no resistance against. And oh yeah, the movie's geography bears very little resemblance to coastal Virginia.

Of the five in your latest set (#18-14) I probably liked Pocahontas the best, although none made much impression on me. I haven't seen Lilo & Stitch or New Groove.
