on back of packaging:
Disney's 35th animated feature brings the gods / and heroes of Greek mythology to life in Hercules. / The tale follows baby Herc as he grows into / "Hunk-ules," a hero of awesome strength whose / only weakness is for lovely Megara, "Meg." As the / story unfolds, Hercules battles Hydras, Titans, / Cyclops, Centaurs, and Hades--and discovers that / a true hero is not measured by the size of his / strength but by the strength of his heart. / Look for the Keepsake Oranment featuring Meg / and Pegasus, the winged horse, at your Hallmark / retailer. / For decorative use only. Not for small children. / Handcrafted
