Disney's rendition of Hercules in the animated movie, while not historically accurate, was sacrificed for the purpose of maintaining a kid-friendly approach to their content. In history, Hercules was a man who killed his family and in order to atone for his sin, he completed 12 labors that were mostly compromised of conquering different types of animals such as Nemean Lion and the Cretan bull. The Disney version of this story retained a very basic level of the story without much of the sadness, melancholy fate, and more and by excising unfriendly content, loses the historical accuracy as a true account of Hercules's story. It is meant to be a humorous, inspirational story for all, different types of humor of course but completely unlike the actual story.
