In Disney's 1997 animated movie ''Hercules'', Cerberus still has the same role as the guard dog of the Underworld and looks more like a Rottweiler or a Doberman. He first appears when Hades is riding down the River Styx and feeds Cerberus a massive piece of meat, despite the three heads fighting over it. Later, Hercules tames Cerberus and uses him to infiltrate Hades' inner sanctum, although it was only a temporary driven by fear. | In Disney's 1997 animated movie ''Hercules'', Cerberus still has the same role as the guard dog of the Underworld and looks more like a Rottweiler or a Doberman.
