What Parents Need to Know
About Hercules
Parents need to know that this animated series is based on the 1997 Disney film. The show follows a younger Hercules as he experiences all of the pressures and adventures of being a teenager -- including peer pressure, the desire to fit in, and learning how to be responsible -- as well as the challenges of becoming a hero. Kids can take away lessons about persistence, self-discipline, and friendship.
