Hercules (1960s cartoon) - Wilhelmine Steals Pegasus

2017-09-20 5

I have fond memories of this cartoon, which debuted in 1963. The animation is quite sparse, a la Felix the Cat, but then I think Trans-Lux had a hand in the Felix cartoons as well.\r

Theis not politically correct for kids these days. A tad too violent. Not to mention some nightmarish monsters. (Thats probably what I liked about it!)\r
\r
Hercules looks an awful lot like Superman. His pal, the centaur Newton, is an annoying little f--k who repeats everything he says. Seems like I couldnt stand him even when I was only nine.\r
\r
The writers played fast and loose with the mythology, but what do you expect from a cartoon? Id forgotten how fine Helena and Wilhemine were drawn (sort of an ancient times Betty and Veronica deal). If these cartoons get many views, I may post more.\r

In this exciting , the evil Wilhelmine steals Hercs horse Pegasus. Sit back and enjoy.pretend its morning and you have to get ready for school.
