Plot[edit]

The film briefly gives Hercules' history after defeating Hades (which out-screen succeeded into getting out from the River Styx and gave up his search for the rule of the Olympus), in which he marries Meg and revisits his teenage years. In particular, it shows an adolescent Hercules's enrollment and the beginning of his adventures at the Prometheus Academy, a school for gods and mortals, which Hercules supposedly attended during the time when he was training to be a hero with his mentor, the satyr Philoctetes.

Reception[edit]

Disney Hercules Zero To Hero

The Man That I Love

Michelle Erica Green of LittleReview gave the film a rating of B+, writing that while the film 'lacks the dazzling visuals of the feature film upon which it is based...it's hard not to be charmed', adding 'the characters are all clever and original despite their mythic origins'.[3] Conversely, Antagony & Ecstasy gave a scathing review, writing that as the film 'was assembled of four episodes of the Hercules cartoon that had already aired in 1998 and 1999', it was 'perhaps the single grubbiest cash-in of [all the direct-to-video released]', adding 'Zero to Hero was already going to be at such a low level of accomplishment even relative to other DTV projects'.[4]

In a review, Vern Perry of the Orange County Register described the Disney formula as 'Just give 'em what they like. And keep it up.', noting that's what the company has done with these two 1998/1999 releases. He added that this film benefited greatly from the return of some of the original voice cast including Tate Donovan and James Woods.[5]
