A vibrant, comedic coming-of-age adventure that blends Greek mythology with Disney warmth, driven by humor, friendship, and the hero's journey to prove his worth.

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!
