| | | A Comedy of Epic Proportions.
Features: DVD, Dolby Digital (5.1), French, Spanish, Subtitled
An outrageous odyssey of fun, fantasy, and adventure unfolds in the hilarious hit film ''Hercules'' -- Disney's 35th animated triumph ''brimming with comic surprise!'' Taken from the gods as a newborn and adopted on Earth, Hercules becomes an awkward teenage pillar of strength. Trying to fit in, he discovers Zeus is his dad and his home is on Mount Olympus -- if he can move from ''zero'' to true hero! Hercules teams with babyhood pal Pegasus, the flying stallion, and Phil -- a feisty personal trainer -- for the mission. But it's no walk on the Acropolis. He must match wits with Grecian beauty Meg and a comical hothead named Hades, who's having a devil of a time with his hostile takeover of the universe. Hades is armed with morphing morons Pain and Panic for help, and only Hercules stands in his way!
Editor's Note
A rollicking, tongue-in-cheek Disneyfication of the myth of Hercules. Forget those legendary labors--this teenage Herc's the goofy and lovable adopted scion of mortal parents, toiling on earth to prove himself to Zeus, his Olympian dad. His demi-god gifts score him money, fame, and product endorsements, but he can't attain full deity (or "True Hero") status--and defeat a jealous Hades--without the help of his satyr friend Phil and the true love of beautiful Megara. Features the voices of Tate Donovan, Danny De Vito, James Woods, and more. Academy Award Nomination: Best Original Song ("Go the Distance").
