Hercules (1997) with Tate Donovan

Go the distance with Disney’s exuberant, gospel-infused spin on Greek mythology, featuring one of the studio’s most distinctive heroes—and the voice that brought him to life. Tate Donovan stars as Hercules, the son of Zeus who is stripped of his immortality as an infant and raised among mortals, only to discover that reclaiming his place on Mount Olympus will require proving himself a true hero. Directors John Musker and Ron Clements (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin) marry the irreverent energy of a screwball comedy with Gerald Scarfe’s striking character designs and an infectious soundtrack by Alan Menken and David Zippel, including “Go the Distance” and “Zero to Hero.” Join us for this special presentation of a beloved Disney favorite with the voice of Hercules himself, Tate Donovan, appearing in person as our special guest.
