While we never got a theatrical Hercules 2 , fans received Hercules: The Animated Series . Instead of a sequel, this functioned as a "mid-quel," taking place during the "One Last Hope" training montage from the original film.
Given that lesser-performing films like The Return of Jafar (1994) got sequels, logic dictated that Hercules Disney 2 was an inevitability. But it never came. Why?
Seeing Hercules navigate the struggles of raising a child with "super-strength" would provide great comedic and emotional weight.
For many fans, the real Hercules Disney 2 exists not on VHS, but on PlayStation. The Kingdom Hearts video game series (2002-present) acts as an unofficial sequel to the film.
