    A great, intelligent show! Each episode presents some part of the Greek mythology in a very funny and ethic way. Really love the show! The characters are great, friendship they have is very enlightening for youngsters. It is a very good manifest for the young generations. Adults can easily watch the show as it has quite a lot of hilarious moments. Highly recommend! I am very amazed how it did not get the respectful critics and popularity. On the other side the animation is not as good as in original cartoon from 1997. However the story is still great! There is even a Disney "wiki" page which has a lot of explanations and descriptions of the characters. A great way to popularize Greek mythology in this era.

    Sure, it takes a lot of liberties with Greek mythology and Greek history. It's not even totally faithful to the 1997 movie with the same name, to which it's supposed to be a "midquel". But still, "Hercules" is rather educational (there are facts about mythology and history in it, if you only care to look for them) and really funny. It must be one of Disney's most underrated TV shows ever! It follows the adventures of the young demigod Hercules, who's not only a hero in training (he lives with his trainer Philoctetes), so it's often up to him to stop the plans of his evil uncle Hades, the lord of the Underworld, or to solve other problems. But he also has to go to High School, just like any other teenager, and face typical teenage issues. He's got two best friends, Icarus and Cassandra, but he's often taunted by Adonis, the arrogant prince of Thrace, who considers him "a loser".The ancient Greek gods, like Zeus, Hera, Ares, Athena, Apollon, Artemis, Demeter, Bacchus, Aphrodite, Poseidon, the Muses and Hermes, all make appearances, and so do many heroes and monsters from Greek mythology. And like other reviewers have said, this show also have an impressive cast list, even for guest roles. So if you can, check it out!

    The television show "Hercules," based on the Disney film "Hercules," is perhaps worth watching just for the impressive cameos by actors. Why a show like "Hercules" would ever attract so many talented actors and actresses is beyond me. Perhaps the sound studio was nearby when the actors were filming a movie, and they decided to stop in and spice up the show a bit. Either way, the kids who watch the show most likely didn't realize any of the actors. It's an adult joke, really. As for the show itself...well...what have we come to expect from television spin-offs? Nothing much. Though, be careful. When you start tuning in to hear the actors, you can become attached to the show easily. 2.5/5 stars --John Ulmer

    I absolutely loved this movie and sometimes I watch the cartoon as well. It was so good! Everyone in the cinema was laughing whenever Hades(James Woods) went onto the screen.It was a really great movie! I really loved all the singing by the Muses.If you haven't seen it by now then you have just missed one of the greatest Disney movies ever created.
