From John Musker and Ron Clements, the writers/directors who created "The Little Mermaid" and "Aladdin," comes this irreverent and wacky new animated epic comedy that follows the outrageous adventures of legendary hero, "Hercules."

Walt Disney Pictures' 35th full-length animated feature tells the story of "Herc," the mighty son of Zeus, who is taken from his Mount Olympus home and raised on Earth-half man, half god. The fiery figure behind Hercules' disappearance is Hades, the hot-headed god of the Underworld who has grown tired of looking after a "bunch of deadbeats" and sees Zeus' son as an obstacle to his plans to rule the universe. When Herc discovers the truth about his origins, he sets out to prove himself a hero (with the help of a veteran hero-training satyr named "Phil") so he can return to his mythological home.
