Let me start by saying that Hercules, Walt Disney Pictures' 35th animated feature, makes for good family entertainment. Good, not great.

The majority of the film centers on the adult Hercules performing all sorts of grueling tasks to clean up the ancient city of Thebes ("the Big Olive" -- if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere) and establish his status as a hero. His mentor is a satyr named Phil, who fills the role of the irascible-but-lovable sidekick. Meanwhile, Hades is out to get Zeus' son, throwing all sorts of obstacles in his path -- hydras, giant boulders, and a Mae West-type damsel in distress named Megara.

Also, at one point a city is referred to as "The Big Olive" as an allusion to New York, The Big Apple.
