Hercules: a Disney Princess?

[Zea mays]

I didn't think either Roger Rabbit or The Neverending Story were Disney films.

As for Hercules, I sort of remember one story about him where he had to serve as a slave for a queen as recompense for something or other, and she made him dress and act like one of her maids. Am I smoking my socks here, or was that an actual part of his myth?

Yes, it was part of the myth. He was punished for murder (per usual Hera made him do it).

Roger Rabbit was, in fact, a Disney production. It was released through Touchstone Films (Disney's "adult" label), but that's mostly just administrative detail. Disney certainly never tried to reject the film, and there was even a Roger Rabbit/Baby Herman short at the start of at least some home-video versions of Honey I Shrunk The Kids.

The way you phrase it, you make Herc sound lying or delusional. LOL.

My bad, Hera did make him commit murder time and again. That's the whole fun in greek mythology: see how Orestes got an even shorter end of the stick.
