2.0 out of 5 stars Words cannot express. . ., December 18, 2005

This review is from: Hercules & Xena - The Animated Movie: The Battle for Mount Olympus (Rated PG) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

But I will try to explain the movie's effect on me. This was perhaps the worst piece of animation I have ever seen in my life. If Universal had any sort of pride (or sense), they would have at least viewed this mess and done something to fix it. I was totally disappointed in this. I wanted more Xena (and more Kevin Smith as Ares, RIP), and this was the only thing I hadn't seen, and it just made me cry.

However, it was an excellent laugh. I was giggling throughout the film from the entire absurdity of the plot and dialogue. The animation could only be weeped at (why did Xena's hair have red highlights, why was Hercules' shirt so messed up, why did all the normally attractive actors who play the roles look so horrible animated?), but the songs were so bad and the story so silly I couldn't help it.

So, if you are dying for something else Xena/Hercules (anything!), then do take this movie out of the library. It is a fun laugh with the voices of the actors on the two shows. But I wouldn't buy it unless I was a collector of the series' stuff.

This review is from: Hercules & Xena: The Animated Movie (DVD)

this would have been a great movie if it was real and not animated. the animation was so crappy it ruined the movie, otherwise i give it a 3 out of 5.

2.0 out of 5 stars What is with this cheap amimation?, January 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Hercules & Xena (DVD)

Okay. To start I'm used to seeing snow, and after seeing the animated Herc and Xena...I'd rather watch snow (as in static snow at the end of the tape. Yes, don't get me wrong, I am a great fan of Hercules and Xena. And beacuse of the bounderies live action possesses I was completely thrilled that it was decided: that a cartoon was to be made. YA-HOO! It would have been great too. The original cast and a really great story idea, that could have easily spawned sequels...in a word Sucked ( just because of the cheap(I can't draw) artist!?! rendition of the actors and the really slow, throw back to 1960's anmimation. Why? Oh, the humanity. The (movie) Gods should be merciful, and never allow the same artists to ever create another cartoon again. Thanks For Listening, The movie amazon, MOUSE
