I don't think I'll go any further.I don't want to spoil the film for those who haven't seen it.and if your anticipation levels are high, the rest of the film promises to raise them even more. Will Hades defeat the twelve gods of Olympus. Will the film end with a happily ever after. A child will be born on Olympus that will defeat Hades' plot - if Hercules fights Hades will lose. After Hercs' training we meet another key character in the film, Megara, who made a deal with Hades that allows him to keep her soul. This is when the young Herc learns of his true heritage.but before he can join his father on Olympus, Hercules must become a true hero. So Hades sends his to loyal henchmen, Pain and Panic, to steal the baby from Zeus and feed him an elixir that will remove the young Hercules' godhood and allow Hades to kill the newborn.
Well, in typical style, Pain and Panic, botch the assignment and Hercules retains his godly strength. This sets up the next key event in the movie.Hades schemes up a dubious plot that uses Meg's own life as bait to force Hercules to relinquish his strength for twenty four hours. After receiving these instructions, Hercules seeks out the guidance of Philoctetes - the trainer of heroes. Will Meg get hurt and allow Hercules to regain his strength. Stumbling upon the River Guardian, Herc takes it upon himself to rescue this damsel in distress.
Shortly after his departure, Hercules finds a satyr spying on two wood nymphs - wouldn't you know it, this peeping Phil is the goatman he's been looking for. To aide him, Zeus returns his companion Pegasus, a flying white steed and tells him to find Philoctetes. This is a key event in the movie.since it is Hercules' strength the makes him an outcast among the mortals.and during his teenage years he heads toward the Temple of Zeus looking for answers.
The plot is set early in the film: Hades wishes to over-throw Mt. So Hades summons the sisters of fate to predict the outcome - their forecast is anything but reassuring. We soon learn that this was no chance meeting.Hades has made another deal with Meg - if she can manipulate Herc.Hades will release her soul - but this path soon finds a fork in the road when Meg and Herc fall in love.this becomes a major problem since the deadline to attack Olympus is drawing near.
The two strike the deal but with one stipulation: if Meg gets hurt Hercules will regain his strength. Olympus and imprison the legendary gods that live atop the mystical mountain. Disney released its 35th full-length film in early 1997 and much like all Disney films be prepared for musical numbers to tell the story.but they are done by Alan Menken.so it isn't all that bad.
After a little encouragement from Zeus, Phil accepts the young student as his pupil - this is no small task, however, Hercules may have monstrous strength, but he's as coordinated as a dancer with two left feet.
