Trivia
Early on in the series, special visual effects were conceived by Richard Taylor's Weta Workshop, the then little known visual effects company that went on to win several Academy Awards for their work on The Lord of the Rings. Weta and Richard Taylor stepped off Young Hercules early on to work on Lord of the Rings. In fact, the early production days of Young Hercules saw many of its crew leave to work on the then little known Peter Jackson sensation, Lord of the Rings.

good intentions

Ryan Gosling. the Ryan Gosling. as the young Hercules. this is all. because the script and the acting are far to give more. and the desire to use the success of other series is the worst idea. the disrespect to the Greek mythology is only a small detail. the real sin is the ignorance to propose a coherent story. the fights and the expressions of friendship are not convincing because each is only a drawing. the good intentions are suffocated by costumes and silly situations. Hercules is a hero and his grow up in the series is only the ordinary grow up of a young man from our time. and imagination of scriptwriter is ill. so, the great fans of the Kevin Sorbo are the only happy public of this bizarre series.
