Megara Live-Action Animation References in Disney’s ‘Hercules’ (1997) COMPARISON

[NoriMori]

Always loved watching live-action references in the special features when I was a kid. Mostly Sleeping Beauty. Though at that age I didn't understand and thought it was some obscure stage play version.

hercules' little finger shake when she tripped and missed instead of catching his hand I'm dead

Live action Megara's actress is everything I want to be when I grow up.

Just realized Hercules looked to see what gender the centaur was.

Disney always used live references for the classic disney films. I love watching these and i do miss the 2D animations.

That little wave after she falls on her face has me rolling

[GrumpCatMara]

Everyone always looks like they’re having so much fun in any of the reference videos like this I’ve seen. Look like a bunch of kids running around having the time of their lives. ❤

[Kira-Crocker]

I love how she just swung herself around for the second last scene

[izzyk-]

The entire MAN being the fist, the person staying under her hair when she splits it to make it separate farther, the man acting out the flower scene, the missing the hand in the song, and the horse feathers scene g IM DED

Not me just realizing that he went to look in between the centaurs legs to see if it was male

My favorite part is seeing what seem to be reference shots that don't end up getting used in the final cut, reminds us just how much a movie changes from start to finish

[nobodyinparticular]

The should’ve added the statue waving at the fallen Meg in the movie

[Jprager]

Susan Egan has one of the most relaxing voices I’ve ever heard of in my life ❤

This reference films are fire!!! They're so funny to watch, and very educational on how the animators had to work so hard to get everything on point

[Imsoconfusedthesedays]

Dunno what I just watched but I loved every second of it

[ofangelsflipz]

The making of this movie is absolutey mind blowing. If you arent familiar with all the details i heavily suggest checking out a documentary. Best disney movie ever made imo

[lenehammero]

it's been a real slice is probably one of my favorite quotes from that movie

[lskwvff]

Is no one talking about how he just checked if the centaur was

[revol]

Those video references were better than any of modern live-action Disney movies 😂

[justcallmed]

I knew that animators would often take pictures/shoot videos for reference, but somehow never knew they did those on that level. This seems fun
