    Taken from the gods as a newborn and adopted on earth, Hercules becomes an awkward, teenage pillar of strength. Trying to fit in, he discovers Zeus is his dad and home is on Mount Olympus -- if he can move
from zero to true hero! Hercules teams with babyhood pal         Pegasus, the flying stallion, and Phil -- a feisty personal trainer -- for the mission. But it’s no walk on the Acropolis. He must match wits with Grecian beauty Meg and a comical hothead named Hades who’s having a devil of a time with his hostile takeover of the Universe. Hades is armed with morphing morons Pain and Panic, and only Hercules stands in his way!
