The Mighty Hercules - Medusa's Scepter

Dedaelus has a new magic wand - The scepter of Medusa. A wand that can change anyone to stone. First testing his power out on some guards in Calydon, he then sets his sights on King Dorian. Hercules is summoned, but is unable to prevent Helena from being turned to stone as well. Can Hercules find a way to return his friends to living beings without becoming a stone trophy for Dedaelus?

Thank you for this -- especially for keeping the clip in its entirety, complete with opening and closing theme!

That evil wizard Daedalus never ever learns

[@MrStereo10]

Just as an example of what one can do. The original video source for this was French and not remastered. The source looked dark and faded. With a touch of brightness, contrast, color and sharpness adjustment - plus removing the french audio track and replacing it with an English one from an old videotape source(also cleaned up)-we have what you see here.

Apparently so

[@uncleethel2558]

the sound effects from that sceptre makes me laugh

[@classicmusichits811]

Stephen Dorsett Mostly used on Paramount cartoons.

[@MrStereo10]

Each studio had their own "Sound Effects". Sometimes they were shared. Harvey studios, Paramount and Trans Lux seemed to share some of the same ones. Would love a collection of them.

Stephen Dorsett I don't know why but thaym5 sound used to really bother me when I was a kid.

[@Collector261]

Zeus: In order to break the spell you must break the scepter of Medusa. Hercules: But what if I get too close and Daidalas turns me into stone? Zeus: Then you’re screwed!

Why did Herc feel the need to catch that falling cloud?

[@jacobwilson8134]

Ha! I always assumed he was running from it... although that doesn't quite work either, as the cloud turns out to be about the same size as Mr. Bean's car.

[@toddlindsay8846]

Imagine fighting Matchstick when the cloud turns solid and falls when I landed on it. Me: FffUUUUUU-! (Crashes to the ground) Grim Matchstick: Well, sucks to be him.

[@raddadray7535]

Man some of the comments are as funny as these herc cartoons.

[@antonboludo8886]

Virtue in his heart Thunder in his fart

[@MrStereo10]

Fire in his fart would have worked too😏

The Directing Animator was the creator of Betty Boop

[@MrStereo10]

That I didn’t know. I do know Dedalus was voiced by the same person who voiced Popeye.
