That’s right, folks! Last week marked the 19th anniversary of the cult classic, Disney’s Hercules. To celebrate, Disney released a Side-by-Side video showcasing the famous Zero to Hero number alongside the original storyboard version.
And yes, those are actual actresses doing parallel choreography meant for cartoon characters; because Disney is excessive and we all love it.
Seeing this video has given new hope to fans who long for a live-action remake of the hero’s adventures. If Disney could produce the masterpiece above as a “rough-draft” almost 20 years ago, imagine what they could do today.
No live-action remake has been announced, though, so let’s review some of the best moments from the iconic film:
