I really like the scene were Xena asks Eagle gabrielle to leap off a cliff, mostly because of Xena trying to calm her down when she freaks out then saying yes you can do it. battle for mount olympus 4 battle for mount olympus 5 Thank you for the Keeper Shenanigen Without Gabrielle, There Would Be No Xena.

I mean, why did they have to make Xena look like the living dead? However if it came across my path I wouldn't refrain from watching it. "Don't be shy, your mother wasn't" - Xena

As someone else said, it was great for its time. Plus, everyone couldn't have hated it too much because they had that very same animator come back and do an entire trading card series for Xena, in which he drew many other characters that weren't even in the movie.

How was it great for its time? This was the late 90's. It was a style that I didn't care for and felt like a throwback to something from the 60's. It actually looked like comic book characters (which I guess is okay if you like that). Granted, I've not watched a lot of cartoons but the animation definitely wasn't great for me. Disney had much better animation back then. IMO I like this to look more real than more fake. The animation for this movie was too blocky for me, I guess.

And frankly, I don't see how anyone could hold the animation against watching or enjoying the movie, because as I have said before, it is Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor, along with Kevin, Michael, Kevin, and Alex as their Xena & Hercules roles. That is really all that matters. Multitext

That's just my taste. I don't think it's that good. I'm not much of a cartoon person, anyhow. Like I said, I might have to see it again to pass judgment but the storyline didn't really work for me that much, either.

If nothing else, you do get to hear a pretty decent song and laugh a lot. My kids LOVE this movie and have seen it at least 50 times. If you were an adult when it came out, you might not like it (at least think it is a great piece of cinema). If you were a kid when it came out, you'd love it because kids aren't all cynical like us crotchety old adults and they can see the beauty and fun in pretty much any cartoon. My 6 year old loves the old black and white Superman cartoons that I got at the Target dollar bin.

I got it when it came out as VHS lol, good 'ol days! Even more so, the fact that this was all hand drawn! Whereas these days, it's all computer.

I lost it but i did manage to keep this cool card that came with it. A hollograph card (i think that's wat its called) that chagnes images from the cartoon to the real thing.

Check out the card series animations here: http://www.scifihobby.com/products/xena/animated/ i actually just looked at the cards, and it seems like the artist added more detail to the later characters he drew. i think that was my main issue with the animation, they simplified everything too much. The faces of the characters were so one dimensional and since when was xena's armor held on by strings!! i did enjoy the movie, since i first saw it when i was young, but now that i'm seeing clips of it again, i think it would have been great had they added a bit more detail into the animation, made the whole thing richer and more realistic. IMO

Granted this was probably a choice made by budget rather than artistic intentions, still it's like any art. Some will appreciate, others won't. The truly silly nature of the movie was the plot. That was just simple and strange. But I guess even that's up to each one of us. your dreams are dead. submit.
