Son of the great Zeus, Hercules is snatched from Olympus as a baby by the machinations of Hades, god of the underworld, and grows up among mortals as a clumsy young man unaware of his divine origin. On discovering his true identity, he sets out to earn back a place among the gods by proving he is a true hero, trained by the satyr Philoctetes and accompanied by his winged horse Pegasus. But Hades, determined to dethrone Zeus, has his own plans for the young demigod. A Disney animated musical that reinvents the Greek myth with breezy humor and a gospel beat.
