8 Underrated Disney Film Songs From The '90s

8. The Gospel Truth - Hercules

To this day Hercules doesn't get the attention it deserves, the film itself will be a part of the live-action remakes that are currently being planned for the future and no doubt that more than one of the songs will be worked in somewhere.

When it comes to the songs that made the original so good, we all know about Go The Distance and Hero To Zero, but what about The Gospel Truth? What a way to introduce a film that was. It is as epic as it is tragic, which being a part of Greek mythology is pretty much the entire point.

The tale of how Hercules was stolen from Olympus by Pain and Panic, on the orders of Hades is just brilliant when put onto the screen in song. The visual imagery of the difference between Olympus and the Underworld is staggering and illustrated so well by Earth being shown as the middle-ground.

The Muses perform the song with so much power and an undercurrent of darkness, that The Gospel Truth ends up a powerful message of what to expect in the film to come.
