Atlantis - The Earth Bull

As the pilot for a family friendly Saturday adventure, this one delivers just enough action and frights to delight and confuse the little ones. This one is made very much in the style and tone of the much beloved HERCULES show with Kevin Sorbo. Only this time the hero is Jason of Jason and the Argonauts fame. This time he finds his way to Atlantis via a submarine that he pilots to look for his father's missing submarine. They gave the story a 'real world' beginning so that we could learn about this new world through the fresh eyes of the story's hero.

While down in the depths of the ocean, Jason sees a white light and boom - he is naked on the shores of the city of Atlantis. From there he meets a different Hercules and Pythagoras (yeh the triangle guy) and the three of them get involved in the yearly sacrifice of Atlantean citizens to the Minotaur or Mynotaur as they mispronounce it. That kinda drove me nuts each time they did that.

You do realise the trailer isn't for the same show? The trailer is from a docudrama that ran a year or so ago speculating on the truth behind the myth ;)

Oh I put the wrong one in? I watched both. Thanks for the tip.
