I'll admit I liked the unconventional plot, plane flying! I think this is the first book I've read where the jobs are flying banner planes, well any type of plane! I thought it was a cool thing to do and their obsession with them, even being able to tell what plane is what by engine noise and shape. Made me smile at times.
P. S. Being on a Greek island for the week and having planes flying over the hotel every 15/20 minutes also put me in the mood for this.

The main 'big draw voice' in this is Danny DeVito as Hercules tutor Philoctetes, with Yate Donavan as Hercules himself and James Woods as the villain of the piece, Hades.
It also has very 'angular' and vibrant animation (to represent strength) which I find somewhat offputting, while none of the songs are really that memorable IMO.
