An animated feature about the Greek demi-god and son of
Zeus.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - Sexual innuendo. Kissing.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A pillar falls and crushes a woman. Hercules fights some
scary-looking monsters: he puts out the eye of the Cyclops (not actually shown), and with
a many-headed snake he slices its head off from the inside (there's lots of goo). The
fight scenes have punching, kicking, swordplay and people and monsters getting thrown
around. Huge monsters use fire and ice to destroy the earth and Mt. Olympus, while Zeus
responds by flinging lightening bolts. The Fates share an eyeball that keeps getting
thrown around (with squishy noises). Ghosts float in the river of death. Hercules is
bruised and battered after a monster beats him. Chases, falls, pratfalls, lots of fires,
fireballs, and explosions.
PROFANITY 1 - A few insults. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Heroism, death and immortality, celebrity, Greek mythology.
MESSAGE - Even immortality is empty without the one you love. Being famous
doesn't make you a hero; true heroism means having a generous heart.
