Pfft. Maybe if that Rat farted a hundred times, and stole quotes from other movies, that kid woulda liked it. After all, that's the secret to Dreamworks' success. Shrek 3 did much, much better than Rat did, and it was pretty lousy. But then again, I feel Rat had more sophisticated dialogue about cuisine that would fly over everyone's heads.
that said, I do like Hercules. Once you get past the obvious Disney making it a kid;'s movie and throwing out all the accuracies, it's pretty good. I thought the love story was unmotivated, though. Of course, I still wish the original version of the movie was produced. I forget how it went, but it was much darker a film. If I can recall what I read (and this was in an official Disney published book) it was about Hercules getting caught up in the Trojan war or something like that (some Greek battle, at least) and having to take sides. If I didn't lose the book, I'd quote it verbatim.
Now, for frustrating inaccuracies, I suggest looking at Pocahontas. It's one thing to retell a story or a legend, but they're retelling actual historical facts here.
