Disney Heroes

When I thought of Heroes for Disney, I originally thought of Hercules from the Disney movie. He was a scrawny little boy before he found out he was the son of Zeus and needed to be a hero in order to go to Mt. Olympus. He worked and practice his skills until he was strong enough, physically and mentally, to become a hero!


Another hero I thought of was Mulan, from the Disney's movie Mulan. As a women in ancient China, she wasnt able to fight in battle. As soon as she found out that her injured dad was called to fight in war, she stepped in his place without him knowing. She had to desguise herself as a man until Captain Li Shang found out. Only Mulan knows that the Huns were coming to conquer China, but as a women no one would believe her. In the end, Mulan saves China and people recognize her as a Hero even though she is a women!


This Youtube video I found includes the Disney movies, Aladdin, Hercules, Beauty and the Beast, Tarzan, Pochantas, and the Little Mermaid. They are all movies that involve a hero and some what follow the Monomyth. I think it is a good example to show the climax portion of the monomyth because in the video there are many clips of the movies. Also this Youtube has the song Holding Out for a Hero by Bonnie Tyler. The lyrics of this song are saying that "everyone needs a hero" and mainly every disney movie has a hero of some sort!

Hercules Script...

Hercules: Pardon me. It seems to me that what you folks need is a hero.
Tall Thebian: Yeah? And who are you?
Hercules: I'm Hercules, and I happen to be... a hero.
[All laugh]
Elderly Thebian: Is that so? Have you ever saved a town before?
Hercules: Uh... no, not exactly. But...
Tall Thebian: Have you ever reversed a natural disaster?
Hercules: Well... no.
Tall Thebian: Will you listen to this? He's just another chariot chaser. This we need.

I chose this part of the Disney movie Hercules because it gives a good understanding of how people look at heroes at first. In the movie, the citizens doubt that Herucles is a real hero because they have never heard of him and he has never saved a town.



I chose this Youtube of Hercules because it basically tells the story of how Hercules became a hero. He was a "Zero" or a no body before, and then he became a "Hero" and was famous through out cities.

Hero- Mariah Carey

There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid Of what you are There's an answer If you reach into your soul And the sorrow that you know Will melt away

And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you

It's a long road When you face the world alone No one reaches out a hand For you to hold You can find love If you search within yourself And the emptiness you felt Will disappear

And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you

Lord knows Dreams are hard to follow But don't let anyone Tear them away Hold on There will be tomorrow In time You'll find the way

And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you

I chose this song by Mariah Carey because it has a great meaning. It says that everyone has a little bit of hero inside themselves. I think it has a good message and it is very true. Also when a hero is a hero they need to realize that they can pull through and succeed. They must have courage to win over the bad!


I chose this video because it shows different kinds of heroes. Instead of a huge fighting and mythical hero, Max from Disney's, The Goofy Movie, shows a small town hero. He has the courage to go infront of his school to stop a boring assembly. Also the song he sings is called, Stand out, which is another characteristic of a hero. A hero needs to have the ability to stand out to people and have courage.

Conclusion
In Conclusion, Heroes are defined differently from person to person. Some are strong and noble, while others are courageous and weak. Mainly Heroes are categorized to be someone who has accomplished a goal that is very difficult to obtain. Disney Heroes come from Hercules, a mythical hero, to Max Goof who is a highschool kid pursuing a dream.
