Hercules was done as an animated TV series long before Disney's, though
again I can't say which version is used. I have noticed a French cartoon
amongst the mix. There's a lot of PD stuff from foreign sources, and I
suspect Mouse Police might be one. I would have to see those to tell. Many
Disney fairy tales were not the first animated versions. Remember the
Kimba/Lion King controversy?
