    Saw previews of this when my 9-yr old and I saw "101 Dalmations".  Both
    of us decided this is going to be a wait-for-video movie.  Too bad.

Yeah, I can't say that the preview thrilled me all that much, either,
although I did kinda like the song. :-)

From The Internet Movie Database (http://us.imdb.com/), here's a cast list 
and plot summary.

Plot Summary:

Hercules, son of the Greek God, Zeus, is turned into a half-god, half-mortal 
by evil Hades, God of the Underworld, who plans to overthrow Zeus. Hercules is
raised on Earth and retains his god-like strength, but when he discovers his
immortal heritage Zeus tells him that to return to Mount Olympus he must become
a True Hero. Hercules becomes a famous hero with the help of his friend Pegasus
and his personal trainer, Phil the satyr. Hercules battles monsters, Hades and
the Titans, but it is his self-sacrifice to rescue his love Meg which makes him
a True Hero. [Summary written by Kristi Connolly {[email protected]}]
