 | | Hoping that the audience for cartoons about Greek gods has not already been satiated by Disney's HERCULES (1997), the folks who produce the live-action TV series "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" and "Xena: Warrior Princess" have repackaged their characters in an action-packed and occasionally charming, but very poorly animated, straight-to-video feature-length film. |
 | | HERCULES AND XENA: THE BATTLE FOR MOUNT OLYMPUS will qualify only as a must-see for die-hard fans of the two syndicated series, who will be pleased that the story remains true to the characters (especially as regards the warm friendship between Xena and Gabrielle), albeit in a watered down form suitable for children. |
 | | Hercules (voice of Kevin Sorbo) is the legendary half-man, half-god whose mission is to avenge all wrongs, including those committed by his cruel, impetuous godly relations--namely, his father Zeus (voice of Peter Rowley), and his half-siblings Ares (voice of Kevin Smith), Artemis (voice of Josephine Davidson), and Aphrodite (voice of Alexandra Tydings). |
