Plot

Bestowed with superhuman strength, a young mortal named Hercules sets out to prove himself a hero in the eyes of his father, the great god Zeus. Along with his friends Pegasus, a flying horse, and Phil, a personal trainer, Hercules is tricked by the hilarious, hotheaded villain Hades, who's plotting to take over Mount Olympus!

Sinekatalog’s take

A fast, flashy animated romp that treats Greek myth like a gospel-singing talent show. The jokes are rapid and the villain is a scene-stealing hothead, even if the songs are less memorable than the studio's best. Light, funny and ideal for a family movie night.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
