Art Notes

In Disney’s animated classic Hercules, Zeus has great plans for his and Hera’s newborn son, but Hades, Zeus’s brother, has stripped Hercules of his immortality and now Hercules must become a true hero in order to reclaim it. Sent to Earth to be raised by Amphitryon and Alcmene, Hercules learns of his true heritage and becomes a hero in training, who must prove that he can grow from a zero to the true hero he truly was born to be with the help of his flying stallion, Pegasus, and feisty trainer satyr Philoctetes. As Hercules trains and fights off monsters and becomes the champion for humanity, he falls for the beautiful Megara. After defeating Hades, Hercules heroically goes into the depths of the underworld to save his one true love, Megara, who had been banished there by Hades.

Thomas Kinkade Studios® is pleased to present Disney Hercules, a visual celebration of the story of fulfilling one’s true destiny.
