Brother Bear is an incredibly magical film. The art direction is one of the best parts of this movie. I will admit that the switch to when Kenai is a bear and the animals all speak in a more modern dialect can draw away from the movie. It still holds up very well as entertaining as well as artistic. Hercules, while entertaining and memorable, is kind of bland. It starts of very promising, but a lot of the actual subject material is disregarded to make more "Disney." Hercules as a hero is sort of self-centered. Sure he does things for himself and his lesson learned is being a hero means helping others regardless of yourself. But when he goes save Meg in the end he breaks a deal he had with Hades. And while Hades may appear dark and stereotypical villain, you have to admit he keeps all his deals. He may do something else after that makes the deal pointless (like having Meg killed), but technically he is a man of his word. Plus there seems to be several inconstancy throughout the mythology. Several things just seem to be made up about the rules as they do. Like, why did Hades have to await for the planets align if it just would have revealed the jail of the Titans in the ocean? Is he really that hydrophobic? And how did the Oracles not see Hercules was about to become immortal just before they were about to kill him? And why does Hades have this juice that turns gods to mortals? How did he make it? And why does he use it for Hercules? He could have poured it into Zeus's drink at some point. Plus, take a look at both films on iMDB. Brother Bear has two errors. A brief 3 second animation error partway into the film. And a subtitling error on the DVD. So really just one to the film itself. Hercules on the other hand has 35 mistakes! 16 of which are continuity errors. Now while I will say that I watched Hercules as a child and loved it, the film itself is flawed. It really is a film for kids. Brother Bear has a great lesson, has more memorable work to it and has many less errors.
