Whilst all of Mount Olympus celebrates, the evil Hades hears a prophesy from the Fates that Hercules will thwart his plans to release the Titans. To prevent this, Hades sends his henchmen, Pain and Panic, with site a potion to steal Hercules’ strength and make him mortal. Before they can finish the job, Amphitryon and Alcmene find and adopt Hercules as their own. Left with superhuman strength, Hercules grows up a clumsy child who can’t fit in. Willing to “Go the Distance”, he travels to the Temple of Zeus, and finds out his true parentage. Zeus sends him to Philoctetes, a grumpy satyr whose one last hope is to train Hercules to be a hero. He goes from “Zero to Hero” and travels to Thebes, where he defeats the Hydra and falls in love with Meg, who won’t say she’s in love with him too. But when Hades’ plan is revealed, Hercules learns what it really means to be a hero.

Over the next nine months, the two collaborated on an outline, several treatments, and eventually an initial script, aided by art director Andy Gaskill, who oversaw the visual development on the film. • British artist/political cartoonist Gerald Scarfe, with a bold, expressive linear style, was brought in to assist with character design, and he remained involved as an ongoing artistic adviser to the animators. • A field trip to Greece and Turkey in the summer of 1994 gave artists a firsthand look at landscapes and ancient sites, and an opportunity to hear expert accounts of classic Greek mythology. • Animation began in early 1995, and eventually a team of nearly 700 artists were involved with the project. • The film features the first use in animation of the process of morphing, wherein an object is made to smoothly transform into another, utilizing computer technology.
