THE PLOT:

Hercule's mother is dying and Zeus takes her to Mount Olympus to keep her alive forever. Which angers Hera to no end. Enough to resurrect the ancient Titans to conquer Olympus. Xena is recruited to help the Gods but Hercules thinks it's none of his business but it becomes his business quickly.

ZEDD'S OPINION:

As much as I love Hercules and Xena, this movie is somewhat flawed, mainly in technical areas. the story works, the classic characters work. The animation didn't. I just wish the animation was better. It lacked lots of details and I wish they didn't turn Gabrielle into a giant bird. Which was odd considering they turned her into an American bald Eagle which don't live in Greece. 7 STARS.

VOLTRON'S OPINION:

I got to admit I was disappointed by the animation as well. It was a movie there was no excuse for going so cheap. As for everything Zedd said I agree with as well. 6 STARS

ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):

+ CAST (The cast was great.)
+ STORY (The story works.)
+ CHARACTERS (Always works.)
+ SONG (What do I do now)

ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):

- ANIMATION (IT could had been better.)
- MORE RENE (We needed more of RENE O'CONNOR)

...AND FINALLY...

- FAN BASED (If you aren't big on Hercules or Xena, this isn't for you.)
