Watching this for the first time since I was about 10 so 2002/2003 and I'm noticing a large similarity between Meg from Hercules and Helga from this film.
Something about the animation of her, her face and the way that she talks just reminds me an awful lot of her.
Believe me, nothing is trivial. - Eric Draven, The Crow.
I'd have to disagree, I've always seen Helga as more of the bad girl blondes have more fun rough around the edges Jessica Rabbit, I mean she even has the same style dress just in bad girl black lol, and she would definitely take poor Jessica. Hell with the time frame she could have been Jessicas mom and her absence from Jessicas life as a child is what drove her in to the fluffy arms of a rabit and playing patty cake with older men......
shareShe happened to give me a major Bond Girl vibe
shareSad thing is THEY NEVER GIVE A CHARACTER ARCH though to actually relate to her.
Personally i see more of a MEG then the JESSICA RABBIT vibe(although you have to say at least both of those get a decent arch) compared to Helga whose character was ether a near anti-hero or the general label of "villain"(mainly the Atlantis scenes of her)
And the film itself never really comfortably decides on which, she seems to be ONLY bad toward the rushed final "action scene" gets throw off, says her one liner and THEN magically disappears without ANY thought as to WHAT HAPPENED WITH HER!!!???? Hence she's a hero again like during that sea monster attacking the submarine and all the stuff BEFORE they get to Atlantis!.
The film then forgets her and whatever good ideas they vaguely seem to have of her also vanish as well!
