Go The Distance

I love this cover version. =] To avoid being boring, there is a twist at the end of this Hercules fanvid. ^^

[@dudewut]

Disney needs to read these comments to see that people miss the OLD (sad to say its old) stuff. THIS IS THE MAGIC OF DISNEY!!!!

[@DavToned]

I agree with you completely. Its all about what you grew up on. I'm sure people before us when they saw flicks like Lion King, and Hercules thought they were terrible compared to what they saw as classics back in the 70's 80's. Well said.

[@vietkid4life253]

man!... i can list all of the good ol disney movies that i have ever watched that sticked with me forever,... tarzan/lion king/hercules/bug's life/antz/mulan/beauty and the beast/pocahontus/ the little mermaid/brother bear/monster's inc./cinderella/ and soo much more, this is from the top of my head because i love these movies.

[@Adhdgamefreak01]

the good disney movies will never die... i drew a lot of strength from these movies and i still do now even though im almost 20 and my kids will to when they c them

[@andyteves8]

This is my NUMBER ONE FAVORITE DISNEY SONG. I SWEAR. All the lion king ones come second this ones just so epic.

[@hunterjacob2]

You have to love a trip down memory lane :)

[@tjsMAR]

Alan Menken is truly a skilled composer. He's made several great songs. This is one of his favorites of mine.

[@TheOceanspray99]

Who knew that a Disney song would actually describe my entire life.

[@TheVantie]

Actually... now i i'm impressed.. Hercules is clearly a ginger in this movie, and i see no hate on him. My faith in humanity, is a bit restored!

[@Flyingsabers]

Success starts from accidents, you usually dont manage something on the first try, but the fact that you managed to do it, even by accident is a successful moment

[@JohnMichaelJackson]

I absolutely love Michael Bolton's voice in this one of the best Disney tunes ever.

[@Goldencloudd]

Haha I like the little twist you did. It made me giggle. This song is so epic!!! ^-^

[@TecktonikShuffler96]

OMG all this songs bring back my childhood !! :'(

[@firecatlalagirl]

Im glad i came back to this part of my childhood.

[@IcyPheonix3]

Song about surpassing life's challenges and becoming greater than you could ever hope to be. Oscar bait.

[@cirzero]

Who remembers that you had to rewind the tape when it was over? I am proud to say that I was a child of that time and I would do anything to experience that again! :')

[@ThReneBraxtonAccount]

This brings back so many memories..

[@multidarwin18]

MIcheal Bolton is fantastic. I will go the greece again and see all the old templets! A dream!

[@DogOfWar454]

I'm glad I came back to this part of youtube.

[@IzayoiAki01]

I remember they made us sing this song for my 6th grade graduation. Brings back so many memories...

[@sorcerermickeyfanguy6271]

DANG

[@bfflilly9]

good ol disney! i was born the year this movie came out and i like the older stuff better then the crap they play now

[@desandnate123hb]

This song is so inspiring

[@TitanNerd68]

This is the tale of brave Hercules! A hero from Greece, who's fallen from grace! (Samberg: not again) He completed his tasks! I'm not a songwriter! No back to nostalgia! Away I go!

[@ruach2283]

Back in my day we appreciated our Disney movies because we had to walk 15 miles up hill BOTH WAYS just to see em. And we didn't have none of this flibbin flabbin jungle music we had REAL songs. Back then Disney had heart and people were nice and we didn't lock our doors and our Disney princesses were modest. In case you were wondering that is what you sound like. Though it doesn't necessarily make you any less right.

[@khaza1wolfgurl]

yeah, he was so adorable!! :D

[@WizardFreak478]

we sung this is chorus.:) i wish disney was still this.

[@DarkestElemental616]

Exactly. The poisoned coat just was, as far as I recall, itchy and burning to the point where he went crazy, but being mostly-immortal meant it didn't kill him, so he tried the bonfire. I think Zeus snatched him up from that and placed him in the stars after...? I can't quite remember. Either way, much more fun than that videogame version.

[@nyvedink]

oh man i remember when my brother showed me this and we watched it all the time wow

[@quackblade8]

I'm pretty sure one is already in production, since 2009 they've had a policy to get a hand drawn animated film out every other year.

[@samuelade]

what are you talking about. i've grown up with the current ones but wen i watch all the old ones, i can see how much better the old ones are

[@Thundergod871]

every time i watch this moive it makes me want to become a even greater hero then i want to be. i know if i work hard and give everything, and i mean everything i know i can go the distance!

[@spencerlewis1351]

Disney needs to know draw Aliens vs predators in cartoon words when the before the clone wars was born AVP

[@spencerlewis1351]

My replie is just singing voice MICHAEL BOLTON with me Spencer Elliott Lewis should singing voice Do you like

[@bi_luna_games]

Finally! Another PJO fan! Thank you thank you thank you so much! Who is your favorite demigod? I like Leo the best cause he is hilarous

[@onice331]

oh my god we watched this in class today during our free period!!!

[@tonkagarfield]

This song makes me so motivated.

[@specs0530]

I had the best childhood ever!

[@DreamlessNights91]

I love this song so much, I find it so inspiring. It's on my Upbeat, Shower, Sleep, Shower-Upbeat, :), and Disney Inspirational playlists.

[@jayarstrife]

i like this song very much^^ luv it!!!!

[@khaza1wolfgurl]

sometimes that's what we need to get into such wonderful things :)

[@Rhantismos23]

Even though this is inaccurate it made me have a passion for ancient history

[@thexcoreissilent]

Hercules is sooo dreamy

[@UnlistedInvisibility]

He didn't write it, he sang it for the ending credits. The original singer for the film is Roger Bart.

[@Gustoff27]

@FangSoul01 Those were the glory days. Now we have Pixar. In my eyes, The Toy Story Trilogy, Incredible, and Up to be on the same level as any of the Old Disney movies.

[@Branded624]

no, I LOBE YOU so much!

[@nsheena619]

when I see this video all I think about is.. how much I wanna make my dreams come true.. very motivational.. great song

[@wwenutz84]

@SuperAwesomecomment I know what you mean I remeber being in the middle school when this movie came out, I remember being on a track race for gym class and I was a chubby kid, That song was playing though my head, that one and from Aladdin , One Jump Ahead!

[@jazziePhae123]

I like that he didnt make this song into some remix or made the tempo all fast and "danceable". Thanks.

[@yahav13mi]

amezing song! love it

[@Moonlight10198]

Beautiful Video. LOVE!

[@khaza1wolfgurl]

I still have this song on cassette!!! :D

[@aoihopewind]

Only in the Disney version. In the traditional Greek his mother *was* a mortal. He also had a twin, whose father was mortal as well, and he saved his brother from a serpent when they were infants. :>

[@bfflilly9]

@HawaiianRoss THAT MOVIE WAS AMAZING!!!!!

[@bruisr]

the dvd player in my tv is broken and only the vcr works, so it's annie, forrest gump, jimmy neutron, and the little mermaid every week. :D

[@singerg02]

STILL gives me shivers. :)

[@jellybeanjink]

we sang this in the colston hall it was amazing

[@SeanKing121]

@zirtepSA in the movie, it was Roger Bart.

[@teddiursa90]

This song makes me cry.

[@TheBeardedTrombonist]

I was adopted and none of my family or friends ever felt like mine, but I will go the distance. Some day I'll meet my real parents and meet friends who actually love me. I WILL go the distance on that.

[@Azella_]

When did Disney go so wrong? I miss these amazing movies.

[@GoForMichael]

yes yes yes. and i cant stop...

[@goodguynow]

I love this version its so uplifting for future lds missionaires makes me cry

[@wwenutz84]

@TheVoiceofVoiceless Micheal Boltain is his name He did several others

[@DCdabest]

they should play this at the Olympics opening ceremony.... actually this should be the Olympics theme song..... the pursuit of excellence through personal effort, from a deeply spiritual source...... awwww yeeaaahhhhh!!

[@ResiVamp1895]

This is a brill vid :D

[@AssortedJade]

Applying to the Disney international program and listening to this :)

[@MinnieMo42]

Oh wow! Just noticed how that lion skin that he was poising with for his painting was Scar from Lion King, LOL!

[@BigDNtion]

I'm born in 1996 ... I Born in the last time of the great Walt Disney Movie ... I look the futur and I don't see good movie... But these movie learn me something ! We can Hope a futur with movie like that :) I want a movie, like the old movie :)

[@karliejones1357]

actually, there is. he & his siblings were the winged enforces of Zeus. maybe if you looked up Cratus instead of Kratos? they're the same

[@maxfreeman3764]

like i said, he is the son of Pallas and Styx, he didn't play such a big role but him and his siblings were zeus' winged enforcers

[@EASPORTS2K9]

For Emma. Because you are a total STAR, Don't let anyone, Tell you otherwise I lobe "Love" you so much & I'm here, No matter what, love from Boomerang xoxo 4:40 :')

[@DuhaHusseinx]

I miss everything about the 90's... :'(

[@mooneclipse2010]

Memories....*sniff*

[@MissBambi428]

You my friend, are my hero

[@57Shadowwarrior]

hey I love this movie too :) I'm just saying I'd rather believe this because its inspirational.

[@samuelade]

whateva. 90s ftw!!

[@Quarion21]

Because he was asked to do so for the end titles. Search for michael's imdb page...

[@BadWolfRose2007]

@BigDNtion I wouldn't say the last of the greats. But yes, last of the greats of that era. Tangled was pretty good. It just wasn't done using same techniques as they did then. Meet the Robinsons as well. But my favourite Disney films will always be those of my childhood

[@wannabuyasheepful]

This song should of been played at the Olympics 2012!

[@tylin8098]

Me: Damn when did Hercules go through puberty cuz it sounds AWESOME!!

[@HawaiianRoss]

Toy Story 3 is coming.... We can look forward to that

[@bleach4613]

iamfoob-why do u have a smiley face like its a good thing?

[@MrAndolyn]

yeah but it still isn't a cover version. it's his.. he just wrote it for disney but he made the song ^^

[@wordalert]

Kratos is a character in God of War and in the greek mythology he is the embodiment of power or something like that

[@commonmisconception8682]

actually, to be fair, he was a "demi" (root word meaning half/lesser) God for the entire movie following the first 5 or so minutes. He only gains all his "Godliness after he saves Meg. Even so, he chose to be human afterwards.

[@midnightlilac4170]

*add to playlist*

[@Pullpismigioeretnu]

@kylsterxxx: It's not a cover -.- It's the original artist singing _his_ song.

[@SwankyGames]

Amazing

[@Quarion21]

Just like Hercules (or as the Greeks called him Herakles) is somewhat different in mythology than in this disney version.

[@tehHyena]

Every time I watch Heracules, my older part starts pointing the myth false, while the younger part yells that the older part.

[@Hoobahoo]

Everyone is hating on Disney, we need to have some hope there is still some magic haven't you seen Princess and the Frog?

[@johnzebedeeramos3328]

In Greek mythology, Kratos was the son of Pallas and Styx, and the personification of strength and power.

[@Hoobahoo]

@bfflilly9 Are you kidding me that movie was amazing!

[@BigDNtion]

@BadWolfRose2007 I love the new one too is true :) I don't know what but in the old movie we can see the feeling of the characther and there have a strange magic .., In the lion king , Hercules and more .. But yes your right the New one are really good too :)

[@Trake1986]

I watch Hercules almost purely for the music.

[@Gorbisch]

Tangled seemed to capture that feel somewhat.

[@sandylee2011]

this version by Ricky Martin is really good to :)

[@rafael502]

Thumbs up if Disney should make another epic traditional hand-drawn animated film

[@Qamon23]

@lucianbaybee Tangled was goo though. i rank it up there with all the ones you were talking about

[@Steezy69lol]

Sadly, Disney refused to depict this version of the story simply because a musical number for Kratos could not be made

[@ninjalily13]

It's actually Heracles. Hercules is actually the Roman version. I think Disney probably used that one so they could call him 'Herc.' :I
