  • Release date :
    Iceland - November 22, 1997
  • The Icelandic dubbing of Hercules was named "Best Icelandic dubbing" in 1998.
  • Megara was Selma Björnsdóttir's favourite role to dub, and it's thanks to Júlíus Agnarsson (February 22, 1953 - April 26, 2013) that she entered the dubbing world.
  • Ólafur Egilsson, playing young Hercules, is the son of Egill Ólafsson, voicing Hades.
  • There are two versions of the song “Zero to Hero” in Icelandic : one was used in the trailer for the movie with different lyrics; the other one was used in the actual movie.
