5.0 out of 5 stars With Direct to Video movies, always KNOW what you're buying!, June 12, 2002

This review is from: Hercules: Zero to Hero [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is not REALLY a sequel, it's not REALLY a new feature length movie. What this video REALLY is, is a compilation of 3 episodes of the very funny and entertaining Disney's Hercules animated TV series.
The video takes three episodes of the TV show and links them together with some rather badly done animation of Hercules and Megara moving into their new home together after their Honeymoon. Megara comes across Herc's High School Yearbook, er, scroll, and suddenly wants to know more about Herc's High School days. She rides on Pegasus to visit Phil, Herc's trainer/manager, and he gives her the whole story. This is where the episodes of the TV show take over. First we have Herc's First Day At (High) School. In the second story, a new student comes to Herc's school, who is actually a Batman type superhero, and the pair teams up to fight a menacing monster. In the third story, Herc's dad Zeus poses as a teenager to see what life is like for Herc. Meanwhile, his brother Hades plans a hostile takeover.
The video ends with Meg singing a pretty horrid song to the man of her dreams, but the heart of the video, the episodes of the wonderful TV show, earn it a five star rating from me, and I wish Disney would give us more episodes of their wonderful shows on video, preferably DVD. But I wish they knew that the wraparound stories are really unnecessary. Hercules: Zero To Hero, is a great buy for anyone who enjoyed the TV show, but remember that this IS a TV show. Don't expect spectacular animation. At least most of the original voice actors reprised their roles for this TV series, and James Woods always rocks as Hades!

4.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed this video, October 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Hercules: Zero to Hero [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I thought this video was very entertaining. Although it wasn't as enjoyable as watching the series on tv, it was a cute little project. I hope they release more of the series (now that is apprarently has been canceled), but in individual episodes.

The cover art was awful. Not even gonna go there.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best way for kids to learn greek mythology., October 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Hercules: Zero to Hero [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I really think this is the best way for your kids or any kids to learn the amazing tales of Hercules and other greek characters. The original Hercules video, of course, is the video that got me interested in greek mythology. Both videos have such amazing anamations and are very captivating. I just loved them both.
