  1. A baby boy called Hercules is born to Hera and Zeus, on Mt. Olympus. Hercules is amazingly strong and Pluto wants to get rid of him.
    So Pluto sends his minions, Panic and Pain, to turn the baby into a mortal so he can't go back to Mt. Olympus.

    One night, Panic and Pain capture Hercules and turn him into a mortal by giving him a potion. Though he didn't drink every drop. So, he kept his strength.

    Then, a couple came and adopted him. Hercules grows up with difficulties as he is stronger than the other boys in town.

    When he accidentally goes to far, he gets banished from the town and so Hercules leaves his home to find out where he belongs. First, he goes to the temple of Zeus to pray. He finds out that Zeus is his father and that he needs to be a hero to return to his real home.

    So, Hercules goes on Pegasus to an island so he can train to be a hero. He goes through a lot of tests and he improves along the way.

    Then, a rescues a woman called Meg who works for Hades. Hercules, Phil, and Pegasus fly to Thebes to make Hercules a hero. But then, Meg comes and tells Hercules that two boys were playing in the gorge and they were trapped.

    They say "youre late"
     He says" im sorry i was just causing come mischief in Mount Olympus"! 
    Then the sisters said "very well then"!
    Then the sisters talk about Plutos future defeating Zeus. Pluto  then starts cheering like mad until the sisters says

    Then his cheering turns to hate and anger and he tells the sisters to leave. Then pluto makes a potion to turn imortals to mortals, and he tells Panic and Pain to kidnap Hercules and feed him the potion. In the mean time Zeus is giving Hercules a present. As soon as he recieves it  he  head buts it to get rid of the clouds surrounding it . It is a flying horse called Pegaisus!

  3. Summary of Hercules.

    Today in english we watched a cartoon about Hercules, who was extremely strong, but not very clever. Hercules' father and mother were gods so he was a god too, and when he was born, two creatures stole him and made him mortal. Two people found him and took care of him. Soon he found out that his real parents were gods, and Zeus told him he needs to become a hero to be a god. Hercules went to a Satyr, who taught him how to fight, to become a true hero. Hercules goes to Thebes and Meg tells him that two boys were trapped in a gorge.

  4. Today in English we watched a movie called Hercules. I will write a small summary about the movie. Hercules was born in a cloud where the gods lived that meant that he was a god. One day his parents gave him a horse which could fly. Then one day when Hercules and the horse went to bed and were sleeping, 2 creatures kidnapped him and brought him to earth. The two creatures tried to get him to the underworld but then a man and woman saw Hercules and the creatures were gone. The two people picked up Hercules and brought him to their home. When Hercules grew up and he was a teen ager he destroyed a whole temple or something like that. Then his new parents told him they weren’t his real parents then Hercules went to the temple of Zeus and prayed to him. Then Hercules talked to Zeus and told him he was his real father and that he was a god.

    In this english lesson we watched the same movie but a bit futher on in the movie. In this part of the movie was about Hercules going to Tubes and then this woman he knows comes to him and tells him there are two boys which are trapped in this rockey place. But urlier in the movie his teacher which was training him to be a hero brought him to Tubes, and told him it was really busy there and that you had to really watch out.

  6. Hercules
    Today, I will summarise the Disney movie Hercules. The story is about a young, strong man named Hercules.
    Zeus and Hera give birth to a son called Hercules. All the gods of Olympus celebrate his birth except for Hades who is the ruler of the underworld and seeks to overthrow Zeus. Hades learns from the grey sisters that in eighteen years, all the planets will form a straight line which will reveal the location of where the Titans are trapped, allowing him to free them and take over Olympus but only if Hercules doesn't ruin his plan. To make sure of his own success, Hades sends his monsters/animals Pain and Panic to kidnap Hercules. They try to kill Hercules with a potion which Hercules has to drink. If he doesn’t drink all of it or he will keep his strength. Luckily for Hercules a farmer and his wife find him lying on the floor but there was still some of the potion left. The farmer and his wife took care of the boy Hercules for 18 years until he had to depart.
    Hercules is training to become a hero so he can go to Mount Olympus. Phil his trainer tells him that there are lots of problems in Thebes, when they arrive in Thebes, Meg screams through the city “Help some boys are stuck between some rocks!” Hercules comes to their rescue.
    That was the end of what we watched.

  7. Hercules is the son of the god Zeus and his mother is Hera. One day when his parents were celebrating, Hades was there and he was a bad person and he wanted to be the king instead of Zeus. So he went to see the three ugly sisters as they could tell him his fortune. The ugly sisters predicted that in 18 years time Zeus will die and Hades will rule all of Greece. But then Hercules will be a man and he will fight Hades and kill him. Hades decides to do something about it and turns Hercules into a mortal human and gives him a potion to drink. But Hercules doesn’t drink all of the potion and leaves a drop. Then the gods of Greece give something to Hercules to help him and they decide to let him keep his super strength.

    Anyway the baby is left on Earth and a nice man and woman find Hercules and look after him. When he grows older he causes a lot of trouble as he keeps breaking things because of his strength. So Hercules’s parents tell him about the time when they found him when he was a baby. They give him something that was on him. Hercules realizes what it is and knows that Zeus can tell him about his past. Zeus tells him that he is his real father. He also says that the only way to become a God again is to be a true hero.

    So Hercules looks for the trader who can help him became a hero. When he finds the trader he warns him that it is very difficult to become a hero and does not think he can do it alone. Then when they are out in the woods they hear a lady screaming. She is fighting with a monster who is half man half bull. Hercules fights with the creature and using his strength beats him and so saves the lady.

    Hercules talks to the lady and she is called Meg. When Hercules leaves to go to Thebes, Hades finds Meg because he owns her. He is angry with her because the half bull and half beast didn’t join their group and Hades told Meg to fix it and she didn’t. Meg tells him that Hercules saved her and Hades was livid as Pain and Panic failed with their task. Hercules still had his strength.

    Meanwhile in Thebes Hercules is trying to become a true hero as Thebes has problems such as people fighting. But the people want a professional hero not an amateur. Then Meg arrives in Thebes and tells Hercules that two boys were stuck and they needed saving. When they arrived at the mountains the boys were saying help but it was a trick that Pain and Panic had planned. This at where we finished

  8. In class we watched the Disney animated film Hercules. The story started off with Zeus and his wife Hera had a baby called Hercules. They had a party to celebrate their son’s birth and they invited all the gods. That night Hercules lay in his cot with his horse with wings called Pegasus which was a gift from his dad, Zeus. Hades’ minions Panic and Pain sneaked into their home and stole Hercules. His parents heard a crash and went to investigate and found an empty cot. Panic and Pain rushed down with Hercules and gave him a potion which turned him into a mortal but he had to drink every drop and to Hercules’ luck the bottle broke and he did not drink it all so as this happened he kept his amazing strength. A man and woman were walking by when they caught sight of Hercules and decided to adopt him. They also noticed that he had a necklass that was just like Zeus’ so they presumed that he was a gift from the gods. When Hercules was much older his adoptive father took him into town. Hercules was told to stay by the cart with hay. Soon after a steel circular frizbee dropped at his feet so he picked it up and threw it back but he threw it too hard and it hit a column and knocked it over. The building fell like a series of dominos. Soon after, his adoptive parents told him that he was adopted and that shocked him but at the same time he was questioning himself about who he was. They showed him the necklass and they told him that Zeus has the exact same one so he went to Zeus’ temple on a hill and asked Zeus if he knew who he was. Suddenly Zeus’ statue turned to life and said “My son Hercules, you have returned”. Hercules was surprised but it explained why he was so strong. Zeus also told him that he was no longer a god as he had been taken away and given a potion and that he could not return to Mount Olympus. The only way he could return was to become a hero with the mortals and then he would be accepted back. He was told to find Satyr who would teach him how to fight. He was a good student and was soon fighting criminals. After he had fought the first one he met a lady who he liked very much.So he asked her to come with him but she said no.So he went into the city looking for people to help.When the lady from the forest came running into him telling him that two boys were stuck in an avalanche.So they rushed to the site.

  9. Today we watched half of the movie and here's the summery of what we've seen so far...

    There was a Hera and Zeus that had a new born son called Hercules, he was a god, but Pluto sent Pain and Panic to give the baby the mortal so he would die, but he had to drink every last drop, and the baby didnt finish it all when he was found by a woman and a man that always wished for a son, and there they had a baby from the gods called Hercules. When Hercules was born, Zeus gave him a present which was a little pony.

    Hercules grew older and older when once everyone wanted him out of the village except his parents, they told him that he was given to them by their gods, and that they found him. Hercules went to Zeus' temple and discovered that he was his son and that he was a half god, but since Hercules had drank the mortal he couldn't go back to the gods, he had to be a true hero to go back. When Zeus gave Hercules' horse - Pegasus, Hercules went to Satyr, Satyr teached him how to be a true hera and when he was ready they were on their way to prove it when they found a woman screaming.

    It was the sea monster that was holding her. Hercules was attacking the monster to stop annoying the woman. Hercules won, he killed the sea monster and started falling in love with the woman, who was owned by Pluto, but Hecules didn't know that.

    When the woman went away, Hercules and Satyr went to the city on Pegasus to prove that Hercules is a true Hero. Noone believed them when they were there and trying to help them. The woman that Hercules ment not long ago was running towards them and screaming for help, that there were two little boys traped under a really big stone that noone could move. There was a chance for hercules to show them that he was a true hero, and that's where we stopped watching the movie.
