Recap / Hercules The Animated Series S 2 E 11 Hercules And The Kids

Go To

After agreeing to spend the day with a group of kids, Hercules soon gets more than he bargains for when a spider and wasp pair pursue the group.

This episode contains examples of:

  • Companion Cube: Calista has an Aphrodite doll that she takes everywhere.
  • Grew a Spine: After Hercules is left trapped in the canyon below, about to be eaten, Alexander the Great decides enough is enough and convinces the others (even a stubborn Brutus) to listen to him and follow his instructions should they want to save Hercules from being eaten.
  • Laborious Laces: Herc is asked to help Aesop with some kids on a field trip, including one named Alexander, who can't tie his sandals and has to wear ones with Velcro. Later, Alexander has to save his classmates, who have been captured by a Giant Spider. Unable to untie the webs they're wrapped in, he instead cuts them open. He later grew up to become none other than Alexander the Great, and he used what he learned that day to undo the infamous Gordian Knot. Yet he never learned to tie laces, still wearing Velcro sandals.
  • Hot-Blooded: Brutus is somewhat hot headed.
  • Papa Wolf: When Hercules notices Calista by herself, he rushes in to save her but not before going back to get her doll.
  • Rhetorical Question Blunder: No sooner does Hercules ask what could go wrong, the narrator answers that question for him.
    Narrator: What could go wrong? Plenty. Especially when two hungry monsters are out hunting for their dinner.
