Film Review: Disney’s Hercules (1997) - The Hero’s Journey

Figure 1. Hercules (1997) The mythical wonder that is Disney’s ‘ Hercules (1997) ’, titled after the main character himself, has graced our screens for all these years, and yet, it still manages to dazzle our eyes with extreme colour and filled our ears with musical joy. Directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, it’s a perfect example of how to describe Joseph Campbell’s monomyth, The Hero’s Journey. The story begins with the birth of the Hero, Hercules, son of Zeus. With immense strength and cheerful disposition, the realm of Gods seemed tranquil for a moment with the new arrival to the godly line-up. However, that happiness would be short lived, when the ever jealous Hades, lord of the underworld, would turn the small child in to a mortal. Despite what the original Greek mythology states about the main hero himself, Hercules is a happy-go-lucky chap with high hopes and not much clue about the hero business at the beginning. After becoming mortal and being adopted by two...

Figure 1. 'The Incredibles Movie Poster' From the world famous Disney Pixar Studios comes an all time family classic about a super family forced to conceal their super identities to keep the world normal and safe.

Film Review - "The Lego Movie" (2014) - A Hero's Journey

Figure 1. 'The Lego Movie Poster' A timeless and classic children’s constructible toy now comes to life in this hyperactive and bubblegum pop movie known as The Lego Movie (2014). The concept of the Lego Movie can be perceived to follow Joseph Campell’s theory known as the Hero’s Journey, and can be split into three acts accordingly; Separation, Initiation, and Return. Each act has a series of steps within which portrays the path of each tale respectively. Although some stories can vary in the order, the initial concept remains the same. Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, both known for their collaborative directing on films such as Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009) as well as 21 Jump Street (2012) and 22 Jump Street (2014), this whacky array of colour and adventure all begins with an ordinary construction worker, Emmet (voiced by Chris Pratt).  Our story begins in the first stage, the Ordinary World , where things are, as the title implies, ...
