1. Hercules broke Disney's fairytale trend by being based on Greek Mythology.

2. At one stage, Disney was considering casting the Spice Girls as the Muses.

3. 72,000 pencils and 1,000,000 pieces of paper were used to create the movie.

4. In Greek Mythology, Zeus, Hades and Poseidon are all brothers. While Hades has no known children, we know that Zeus and Poseidon had sons- Hercules and Triton. Since Triton is Ariel's father, she and Hercules may not be cousins, but definitely related.

5. Apparently Greece found Hercules insulting. In a newspaper, it was said that "this is another case of foreigners distorting our history and culture just to suit their commercial interests."

6. Ricky Martin is the Spanish voice of Hercules.
