YES! I thought this and Pocahontas both had a low chance of ever happening. I hope it pans out. I would love to hear new songs for Herc and Meg. I just wonder if they're going to do something similar to the Hunchback musical and go all serious with adapting the source material. I kind of hope not.
At least
Pocahontas had a lower chance of happening, due to it's position and it's backlash of historical inaccuracy. However, Disney still decided to adapt
Hunchback, despite of it's controversy and that it has a lower fanbase than both
Pocahontas and
Hercules (though
Hunchback has been rated higher on IMDb, there were still people who've given more votes on
Pocahontas and
Hercules than on
Hunchback. And the Facebook likes for
Hunchback are relatively much lower than for the other two, if you don't believe me, then look it up).
However, regardless of the attention Disney has been given these pictures, it seems as
Hercules has gained a bigger fanbase these later years and that people have warmed up to it and given it attention and praise for it's strengths. At least Disney have been given
Pocahontas some attention afterwards, whereas
Hunchback has been given little besides the stage adaptation. But perhaps this means that
Pocahontas could receive a stage treatment as well, since it certainly is suitable for one.
However, this is still good news for our Herc. Perhaps there will be made music numbers for Herc as an adult to sing?
