Hercules: The Animated Series

Hercules: The Animated Series (aired simply as Disney's Hercules) is a Saturday Morning series that came as an offshot of Disney's Hercules. The series aired on for one season spaning 65 episodes from August 30, 1998 to March 1, 1999.

Overview

The series follows teenage Hercules training as a hero, as well as trying to adjust to life. With his free-spirited friend Icarus, his future-seeing friend Cassandra, and his teacher Philoctetes ("Phil"), he battles his evil uncle Hades. Like all teenagers though, Hercules has to worry about peer pressure when the snobbish prince Adonis ridicules him. The series notably contradicts several events in the original film and is not considered canon.
