Hercules
After watching Disney's Hercules, I realized that they made some good changes to the original story. They left out a lot of things that would not have been appropriate for a young audience. This includes the adultery committed by Zeus, the wrath of Hera, and the part where Hercules murders his family. In place of Hera as the villain they made Hades the bad guy, which I thought was a good choice. One change that was not necessary was the portrayal of the Titans and the history behind them. Disney could have also put more into the labors that Hercules had to go through, or at least tell us the symbolism behind them.

Yes, I agree most of the changes made were due to inappropriate content for the target audience. I also thought it would have been nice to include more on his twelve labors, but it was nice they still included a few of them even if they were just mentioned by being an image on a vase.
