Not an especially good Disney film about the strong Hercules. 1997. Directors: Ron Clements, John Musker.
Hercules was born at the Mount Olympus. His father, the mighty god Zeus, was very happy until the evil Hades took the little infant Hercules away. But Zeus doesn't know that Hades is responsible for that.
The two henchmen of Hades, Pain and Panic, are suppose to kill Hercules with a poison, but instead, they just make him human. Strong, but not a real god anymore.
Hercules grows up with two friendly people who took care of him as if he was their own child. But when he's strenght puts them in to much trouble, his kind adoptive parents tell him that when they found him as an infant, he had the symbol of gods.
Hercules then leaves to find his true identity. After visiting the temple of Zeus where he reunite with his old friend Pegasus, the flying horse, Hercules comes to the hero trainer Phil who after some persuasion from Zeus agrees to train Hercules.
Hercules wants to reunite with his real family, the gods, but he can't because he's not a real god anymore. Zeus has told him that he must prove himself worthy to rejoin the gods at Mount Olympus, so Hercules starts working on becoming a real hero.
Sometimes a good film, but still not so especially good I must say. It's often pretty bad, but some parts isn't bad at all. But it's just not so touching.
