Storyline

Mighty Zeus brings Hercules' mother, Alcmene, to Mount Olympus, and Hercules, believing she has been kidnapped, leads a rescue mission to save her. Zeus' jealous wife, Hera, decides that it should now be her time to rule the universe. Hera steals the Chronos Stone, source of the God's power, and unleashes the four Titans from their eons of imprisonment. With these angry behemoths on the loose, only the combined forces of Hercules and Xena, together with their trusty sidekicks Iolaus and Gabrielle, can save Mount Olympus.

User Reviews

What were they thinking?

This was horrible, so horrible that it was side-splitting funny. What the the heck were these people on when they did this?

The animation was unbelievably bad, the acting on Kevin's part was crappy, and the story was beyond stupid.

To be honest, I was laughing the entire time!

I think it was supposed to be a joke, possibly poking fun at Disney's Hercules? (which was also horrid, but not in the least bit funny.) Anyway, don't bother with it. It was a wasted, half-baked effort at an animated episode of Hercules. I'm annoyed and saddened that it dragged Xena down into it's superb crap.
