>> Crazy Nate: Often we talk about these movies that are based on a fairy tale
our last video though
That was the first Disney film to be based on a real-life story
and that would be Pocahontas
so now since so many of you have been requesting this
Let's go back in time to a story based on
Mythology
and that would be Hercules
>>Narrator: The greatest and strongest of all these Heroes was the mighty Hercules

it might've been a while since you've seen Hercules or perhaps you never even saw it
So i'm gonna ease you in slowly.
Remember Scar?
(nail scratching)
>>Pumbaa: Whos got a scar?
>>Nala: No no no
>>Crazy Nate: In Lion King Zazu jokes about turning Scar into a throw rug
>>Zazu: He'd make a very handsome throw rug
>>Mufasa: Zazu!
>>Crazy Nate: Turns out Hurcules really likes the idea
here's Hercules wearing scar as a jacket
and we know it's scar because he literally has a
Scar on the same eyeball
Phil even uses scar as a face cloth
>>Hyena: AHAHAHAH HAHAHA
(inhales deeply)
(boar roar)
>>Timoan: Luau!
If you're hungry for a hunk of fat and juicy meat
eat my buddy over here because he has a treat
awww you achin'?
>>Pumbaa: Yup yup yup
>>Timoan: For some bacon?
>>Pumbaa: yup yup yup
>>Rhett & Link: Rub some
bacon on it
(scream)
>>Crazy Nate: That scream
(scream)
is the famous Wilhelm scream
Cool story brah
(high five)
Hades sent Pain and Panic to kill Hercules
>>Panic: Let's just kill the kid and get it over with
>>Crazy Nate: Just like in the myth Herra two snakes to kill baby Hercules
and they both fail terribly
>>Pain & Panic: We are worms!
Worthless worms!
>> Wayne & Garth: We're not worthy!
We're not worthy
>>Crazy Nate: Of course being that Hades can see all the dead souls that died
how in Satan's planet
did he not see that Hercules was still alive, isn't he watching the river?
>>Megara: Speak of the devil.
>>Crazy Nate: Okay, that just got really dark fast
rated pg-13
>>Hades: You know, a little dark little gloomy.
>>Crazy Nate: Let's brighten up a little bit with hidden Mickeys
If you're a fan of Gladiator like me
Then you'll remember a common style helmet back in those days would be like this
With the giant broom bolted to the top of the helmet
then it has a nose guard going right down the middle
But the cheeks on side didn't usually curve in.
They're usually just straight cuts
unlike this guy's helmet it curves in
While at the same time the eyeball part is curving out
making a perfect mickey shape
practically perfect in every way song
riditdiditditdo
Then the nymph eating grapes is holding a Mickey
>>Michael: That's what she said
>>Dwight: Ha
I don't get it
>>Michael: Grapes, seductive
>>Crazy Nate: Also looks like there's another one in the bowl
Then when Phil kisses the nymphs butt and yes
that's exactly what's going on in the scene here
when she turns into pixie dust she makes an outline that's in the perfect shape of
Oswald the rabbit
>>Timoan: Awww we're gonna fight
for this?
>>Crazy Nate: In the song "I won't say"
>>Megara: No way
I won't say it no no
>>Crazy Nate: They sing a few notes that sound exactly like the song
>>Statues: Shalalalalaa
>>Crazy Nate: In Ariel's kiss the girl
>>Fishes: Shalalalala
Don't be scared
Go on and kiss the girl
woah oah
shalalalala
don't stop
>>Crazy Nate: Spoiler alert she does get her kiss.
(starfish kiss)
Oh, yeah, and they're also related.
Here's how
Zeus is Hercules dad
>>Zues: Fine work my boy!
>>Crazy Nate: And his brother is Poseidon
Then he has a son named Triton
Then Triton had a bunch of girls
and one of them was named Ariel
so they're cousins twice removed
Thebes is modeled after New York City
because they're both trashy.
We have a hot dog stands only this time It's pita bread
And on the way to Thebes he calls it the big olive
>>Phil: The big olive itself
>>Crazy Nate: Clearly This is paralleling the Big Apple
>>Phil: If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere
>>Crazy Nate: Frank Sinatra sang a song called "New York, New York"
And that's what he's saying in the song
>>Frank Sinatra: If I can make it there
You know im gonna make it
anywhere
>>Crazy Nate: There's also taxis everywhere
>>Phil: This city is a dangerous place
>>Taxi driver: Look where you're going numb skull
>>Phil Hey I'm walking here!
>>Crazy Nate: That's also reference to the movie Midnight Cowboy
>>Ratso Rizzo: Hey!
I'm walking here!
I'm walking here
>>bug: get out of the way
>>Flik: im sorry
>>snail: owww
Watch where you're going!
>>Crazy Nate: Pegasus, Hercules loyal dog, can be seen flying through the stars
remember because this is how he made his grand entrance in the temple of Zues
And he remembers him because of their secret little handshake
>>Hercules: Ohhhh Pegasus
>>gods: awww
>>Crazy Nate: Then on butt heads head
You know Nessus
we have a big dot than two little dots
Yeah I'm calling it a Mickey.
Ever watch Karate Kid?
Well Hercules never does karate in the movie even though he learned karate in his growing up stage
You know what's more impressive though than chucking a giant statue arm across the ocean.
It's how fast the grass grew underneath his feet.
That's right
No grass
and then there's grass
You know, it's even crazier than that
is how fast these trees grew.
>>Phil: Hold it
(rewind)
Hold it
Zues is your father right?
>>Crazy Nate: There's probably 20 million trees there
This is Grecian Express
definitely not American Express
because there's no such thing as product placement, right people?
and you wanna nose something else?
There's a snow-white reference in here as well.
His nose literally pops out the same way the Seven Dwarfs do.
We also have not Victoria's Secret but Aphrodite's Secret
And not Crate and Barrel but Column and Barrel
of course the store with the crowds fighting to get in
is the Hercules Store
Not to be confused with the
Disney Store
Even though the Disney Store has the exact same entrance..
Then there's a real-life florist is called FTD Floral and their mascot is Hermes.
Here in the movie
We have Hermes delivering flowers to the birth of Hercules
Just like their logo
In case I lost some of you, for those of you that aren't following along its
opposite day
when I say not that means they are
(scream)
>>Fate Sister: Incoming!
(laughing)
>>Crazy Nate: Over five billion served
and the entryway definitely is not in the shape of the McDonald's arc
(slurping)
>>Crazy Nate: What are those!?
>>Hades: What
are
those?
>>Crazy Nate: That's right. This movie was the originator of the
'what are those'
They're air-Hercs
Not air Nikes
Fun fact the name Nike actually came from Nike
who was the goddess of triumph
>>kids: Help! We're suffocating
Somebody call IXII
>>Crazy Nate: This is a Roman version of 9-1-1
Which is America's emergency number to call for when you're in need of help
Fun fact on the temperature scale when fire gets hotter it gets more blue than red
So in these scenes when he is mad, he's actually cooling off
not getting hotter
>>Hades: Okay, fine fine i'm cool. I'm fine.
>>Crazy Nate: That's weird
You may remember Ron Clements and John Musker
is the director and a tradition that they like to keep
is having cartoonized version of themselves
hidden in their movies
like Aladdin
Treasure Planet
>>John-bot: Second turn on your right
>>Ron character: You can't miss it
>>Crazy Nate: Well add Hercules to the list
We get that moment when Hercules is running with a hay cart
and smashes into the pillars
You can clearly see Ron and John on the top of the pillars
>>Hercules step dad: Look out!
>>Hercules: Sorry guys!
>>Worker Ron: Hey watch where you're going!
>>Crazy Nate: In this scene we also see the donkey had a broken leg
but they forgot to add them and a few of the scenes
(Hercules screaming)
>>Crazy Nate: Would you consider this blood in a Disney movie?
That's not something we usually see in a Disney movie
but to play safe Disney made the blood green.
(Cyclops laughing)
>>Cyclops: BAHA
>>Crazy Nate: But Hercules blood is red
trigger trigger
Warning!
Seeing blood!
Theres blood in a Disney movie!
Definitely Coppa
>>Rocky: I can't see nothing
gotta open my eye
cut me man
>>coach: you don't wanna do it!
>>Rocky: cmon cut me
>>Crazy Nate: When Hades says relax, it's only halftime
>>Hades: Guy guys relax
It's only half time
>>Crazy Nate: This was literally halfway through the movie
on the DVD 46 minutes and 36 seconds was the halfway point
>>Hades: Its only half the time.
>>Crazy Nate: Said this at 46 minutes and 29 seconds.
You literally can't get much closer to the halfway point than that.
(Survey music plays)
Survey time!
Have you ever been to the Haunted Mansion ride at Disney World?
If so, you may remember all the stone heads on the ride
(stone heads singing)
(stone heads laughing)
Well in the song I won't say I'm in love
because she is in love
we see the same stone heads
>>Stoneheads: Read our lips
you're in love
>>Megara: I won't say it
>>Crazy Nate: There's several different versions of the story of all these fake lowercase g gods
So there was a lot of creative free play on how they could tell the story of Hercules
without offending the actual stories.
There's several different versions of the story of all these
lowercase g gods
For example in one of the version of the story Argo was a ship that Jason and the Argonauts sailed on
>>Phil: Who do you think taught Jason had a sail?
Cleopatra?
>>Crazy Nate: The only problem though is the mass
or giant wooden beam
fell from the ship and
killed Jason
So this is why we see Hercules
bonk his head on a random beam
>> Phil: That was part of the mast of the Argo
>>Hercules: The Argo?
>>Crazy Nate: and then Phil bonks his head on the same beam
>>Rapunzel: have any of you ever had a dream?
>>Crazy Nate: Haven't you ever had a dream?
>>Phil: Yeah, I had a dream once.
>>Tavern lad: I've got a dream
>>all singing: I've got a dream
He's got a dream
I've got a dream
He's got a dream
(judgemental glare)
>>Phil: I dreamed I was gonna train the greatest hero there ever was
so great the gods would hang a picture of him in the stars
>>Crazy Nate: Phil's ranting on how his dream is to train a god
lowercase g
>>Phil: Ah but dreams for rookies
>>Crazy Nate: But one of the heroes that he's trained in the past
>>Phil: I trained all those would-be heroes
Odysseus
Perseus
Theseus
a lot of yeses
>>Crazy Nate: Perseus already has his constellation
So what in the world is he complaining about?
>>Phil: whoop-dee-do
>>Crazy Nate: When Hercules is flying through the stars and under a star's dress
This would be a callback to the famous Marilyn Monroe photo shoot
This was also not just a photo shoot
But also was seen in one of her movies that she did called
"The 7-year itch"
Hercules is so famous that he put his hands in the sidewalk
This is clearly paying tribute to Hollywood's famous Walk of Fame
But if you notice it says 'To Sid' all over the place
>>Woody: That is Sid
(Sid laughs maniacally)
>>Buzz: You mean that happy child?
>>Crazy Nate: No, we probably are talking about Sid from Toy Story even though Toy Story was released two years earlier.
No
this is paying tribute to Sid Grauman
who's responsible for the success of the famous Chinese Theater
and where celebrities put their hairs into the cement
so that we can go back later on and try to fit our hands into their hands
>>Dwight: Go
force it in as deep as you can
(Michael mumbling)
>>Michael: Today is a very special day for me
and it's really not about me. It's about my grandkids.
It's about my great grandkids
>>Crazy Nate: If you watch my video about everything you missed in Aladdin, then you'll remember that
This is the same Temple of Zeus that was in the magic carpet ride
as far as continuity the movie had a lot of mistakes actually
like baby Hercules took one of the lightning bolts
leaving all the rest of the lightning bolts in Zeus's pocket
But then moments later we see Zeus doesn't even have any lightning bolts in his pocket
But since this movie blessed us with so many easter eggs
I'm not gonna go through all their mistakes, this time
If enough you ask then maybe maybe we'll have a second part with just the mistakes
>>Pain: If
If is good
>>Crazy Nate: Let me know movie you want to talk about next
