Adrian-34

This film is likely the best, next to Audrey Rose, of the films touching on this topic which I've ever seen. The film is slow at points but gripping throughout most of it. Unfortunately the slow points can be long enough for many to lose interest.

The film is basically about a young, handsome college professor who finds himself having flashbacks into a recent, previous life-time. Parts of it are haunting. Sarrazin and Kidder are fabulous in this.

First, if you're a mythology fan forget everything you know and just enjoy the story. Secondly, if you're an animation buff...give up now. SIGH The story is nice. The acting, adequate. The music, fun. But the film stands as an example of Disney's decline in animation quality. It is one of the first crossings of animation and computer animations from Disney the latter standing so far out in superiority from the already bad artwork that it makes the rest of the imagery look out of place. Disney films since have only refined on this ludicrous art of crossing breath-taking imagery with almost lampoonish artwork.

It is clear that the artist's intent was to produce a film which attempted to reproduce and modernize the ancient Greecian style seen on "vahzes" (GRIN), frescoes, etc., This would have worked had they not chose to cross this with a pseudo-realistic computer generated hydra which almost looks like something from a sci-fi flick. Briefly we witness, "Hercules Meets The Hydra From Mars."

Furthermore, if you're of a Paganistic path you might be offended by the interpretations of the Olympians which look completely ridiculous and exaggerated.
