00:00Oh
02:29I wouldn't wish that fate on any horse.
02:32King Glaucus boasted of having the fastest horses in the kingdom, but pride had poisoned his mind, and he had become cruel and ruthless.
02:46Now, don't get involved, Bellerophon.
02:52It's none of our business.
02:53But he's whipping that horse.
02:55He's the king.
02:57He can do what he wants.
02:59What is that?
03:10That's Pegasus, the winged horse of the gods.
03:14It must be some kind of omen.
03:18He's so noble and free.
03:20I'd give anything for a chance to ride a horse like that.
03:25I want that horse.
03:36Bring Pegasus to me!
03:37I thought only gods and heroes could ride Pegasus.
03:43Yes.
03:45But King Glaucus thinks he's both.
03:49Now you will be my horse.
04:10And the people will see that I, too, can fly like a god.
04:18I can't let them do this.
04:21I made a promise to Athena that I would never allow man or beast to be mistreated.
04:26Don't be a fool.
04:28You're risking your life.
04:29From now on, you will only fly on my command.
04:40No!
04:42Get out of my way!
04:44A beautiful creature like this should not be tamed.
04:47I beg you to reconsider.
04:52You fools!
04:53You've let it escape!
04:59You're right!
05:00You're right!
05:11Faster!
05:13Faster!
05:13I almost have it!
05:21Bellerophon paid a high price for his courage.
05:25Though he did what was right,
05:27he was blamed for the king's death
05:28and banished from Corinth, the country of his birth.
05:32He wandered across distant lands,
05:34working at what he knew best, taking care of horses.
05:39Out of the way, boy! Princess Villanoe is passing!
05:43And remove your hat in the presence of royalty!
05:48Good morning.
05:50Good morning.
05:58Give me a sword.
06:06I'll teach these scoundrels a lesson.
06:12Well, look what we have here.
06:15A real princess.
06:17Yes, and a rich one, too.
06:20Armed with a sword, in case you hadn't noticed.
06:23Which should be more than enough to dispose of a pair of flea-bitten bandits like you.
06:28Ooh, I'm shaking in my boots.
06:31You'll be buried in your boots if you don't drop your swords and surrender.
06:36Look at this. A princess and a stable boy.
06:41What are you gonna do? Throw a horseshoe at us?
06:45Now that you mention it, that's not a bad idea.
06:51Aha! Missed!
06:58You're handy with a horseshoe.
07:14Uh, you wield a very sure sword yourself.
07:18Um...
07:18My name is Villanoe.
07:20I am Bellerophon.
07:22You're not from Corinth, I take it.
07:24No, I'm passing through on my way home to Lysha.
07:28But maybe fate will bring us together again.
07:33I hope so.
07:34Even as Bellerophon approached the castle of King Proetus,
07:49he could not stop thinking about the lovely Villanoe.
07:52But how could a poor stable boy ever hope to win the heart of a princess?
07:58Bellerophon was given a menial job at the palace of King Proetus.
08:11And as always, Bellerophon's love for his animals shone through.
08:21The queen! The queen is coming!
08:24Her horse is overheated.
08:28She's ridden it too hard.
08:29Bring the poor beast water, quickly!
08:41Excuse me, Your Majesty.
08:43I was just...
08:43I'll teach you to respect royalty.
08:47Don't strike him, Your Majesty.
08:49He was only trying to help...
08:50Are you telling me what to do?
08:53I am the queen.
08:55I take orders from no one.
08:58However, I do give them...
09:01Guards!
09:01Take him away!
09:04No!
09:05It will be difficult to speak with disrespect...
09:08...without your hair.
09:11What do you mean I can't chop his hair off?
09:14You see, my dear, this stable boy is from another country.
09:20So he's a guest at our court.
09:24The gods consider it very bad to harm a guest.
09:28Isn't that right, wise Octavius?
09:30We would get a plague of locusts at the very least.
09:33But there is a way to ensure his demise without angering the gods.
09:42You're lucky to be alive!
09:54Now, deliver this ladder to the court of King Iobates if you want to stay that way.
09:59Once again, Bellerophon had kept his promise to protect the defenseless.
10:11And once again, he found himself in trouble.
10:15But for Bellerophon, keeping his promise was worth the risk.
10:19It is said the gods always favor the virtuous.
10:28And it was Bellerophon they were looking upon now.
10:39Pegasus!
10:45You remember me, don't you?
10:47Oh, I sure remember you.
10:54What was that?
11:09What happened here?
11:14Who did this?
11:15The Chimera, a terrible monster that has been ravaging the countryside.
11:19No one can stop it!
11:25A letter from King Proetus, you say?
11:29Yes, your majesty.
11:33Would you excuse me for a moment?
11:37Read this.
11:38Dear King Iobates, I want you to take the bearer of this letter and have him killed.
11:44He insulted my queen and disgraced my throne.
11:47And now he expects me to do his dirty work.
11:51Well, I won't.
11:53King Proetus has a much bigger army than we do, your highness.
11:58And he's been looking for an excuse to invade us for years.
12:02It would be unwise to displease him.
12:06Uh, P-Princess Philanoe, you know my daughter.
12:11Father, this is the brave young man who saved me from the brigands.
12:14What has brought you to our kingdom?
12:16I guess fate has brought us together again.
12:19I was given a letter of reference by King Proetus.
12:24Of course, if we would have sent him against the Chimera, his death wouldn't be on your conscience.
12:30The letter says, you are a brave man.
12:37Really?
12:38And we need brave men.
12:40Isn't that right, your majesty?
12:43Uh, why, uh, yes.
12:45We are about to mount an attack on a terrible monster that has been...
12:49Father, you're not going to ask Bellerophon to fight the Chimera.
12:53No, no, no.
12:54Well, yes.
12:56I have seen what this Chimera has done.
12:58If you give me some men and supplies, I will gladly fight the monster.
13:06Why do you do this, Bellerophon?
13:08This is not your battle.
13:10You could easily walk away and leave us to our fate.
13:13Your people are in danger.
13:15I have given an oath to protect those who cannot defend themselves.
13:19And I always keep my word.
13:21I have to go.
13:26Be careful.
13:28We are at a disadvantage, Bellerophon.
13:36The Chimera's cave is at the top of the mountain.
13:39And whoever fights from above always has the upper hand.
13:43Then we'll just have to fight twice as hard.
13:45Oof.
13:47Oh, well, if we do, we can't play this.
13:48We can't do that.
13:49Just wait.
13:49Uh, hmm, yeah.
13:58Oh, what?
14:03Oh, wow, wow.
14:03Oh, wow.
14:04Oh, wow.
14:06Oh, wow.
14:06Oh, wow.
14:07Oh, wow.
14:08Oh, wow.
14:09Wow.
14:09Wow.
14:10Oh, wow.
14:10Oh, wow.
14:11Oh, wow.
14:11Oh, wow.
14:12Oh, wow.
14:12Oh, wow.
14:12Oh, wow.
14:12Wow.
14:13Oh, wow.
14:13Oh, my God.
14:43No!
14:53Pegasus, you saved my life.
15:03I guess you're returning a favor.
15:07Oh, I feel terrible about this.
15:09Such a nice young man.
15:11You had no choice.
15:13You don't want to give King Proetus an excuse to invade us.
15:17Just write the letter.
15:19Dear King Proetus,
15:21you will be glad to know that Bellerophon,
15:25the stable boy who insulted your queen,
15:29has been killed by the Chimera.
15:33Yours sincerely.
15:35Father?
15:36Yes, Philanoy?
15:37I want to talk to you about Bellerophon.
15:39I know you've always wanted me to marry a prince,
15:41and Bellerophon is only a commoner.
15:43But I love him.
15:45Love him?
15:47I mean, uh, well, yes, uh, dear me.
15:49Are you absolutely sure?
15:51Absolutely.
15:53But, my dear child, you know how dangerous the Chimera is.
15:59The chances that he will come back alive are very, very remote.
16:05You're safe.
16:07I failed.
16:09The Chimera still lives.
16:11You did your best.
16:13Now others must lead the fight.
16:15No.
16:16I must go back and try again.
16:18Father, don't do this.
16:20He's done his duty.
16:21King Proetus has a bigger army.
16:24Don't be a fool.
16:26Ah, uh, you are a brave young man.
16:30Therefore, I will grant your request.
16:32Proceed into the war room, and we will discuss it further.
16:35You've been betrayed.
16:50You're being sent to a certain death.
16:53I gave my word.
16:55I can't back out now.
16:57Look around you.
16:59You are alone, Bellerophon.
17:01No one else is willing to make the same sacrifice.
17:04Pegasus, run away.
17:05It's your only hope.
17:07Pegasus!
17:09Every time he's appeared to me, there's been a change in my life.
17:13It's a sign from the gods!
17:15I have to follow him.
17:19He'll show me what I must do.
17:21Bellerophon, come back!
17:29Pegasus?
17:30This is Athena's temple.
17:33Athena, if you can hear me, I need your help.
17:48Athena?
17:49Has Pegasus led me to you?
17:51Yes.
17:52I have watched you for some time, Bellerophon.
17:55You are brave and true.
17:57And now, you feel betrayed.
18:00Yes.
18:01I have always done what I could to help others.
18:03But why do I bother when they only try to destroy me?
18:06It is true that weak and cowardly people have let you down.
18:10But do you wish your life to be governed by the weakness of others?
18:15No.
18:16You are right, Athena.
18:17If you can help me find a way to defeat the Chimera, I will always keep my promise to protect man and beast alike, no matter what happens.
18:25Like mortals, every monster has its weakness.
18:30The Chimera must be attacked from above.
18:35From above?
18:36But how is that possible?
18:38Its lair is at the very peak of the mountain.
18:51Now go, and meet your destiny, Bellerophon.
18:55Pegasus!
19:05I am at your will, Pegasus.
19:18That's it, boy.
19:19Now we have the advantage.
19:25If we can't get through from the outside, we'll have to go inside.
19:53Come on, boy!
19:55Shoo on this, Chimera!
19:57Ha-ha!
19:58We did it, Pegasus!
19:59Oh, yes!
20:00We did it!
20:18My dear boy, you risked your life for my kingdom.
20:23You are brave, and I am a coward for bowing in fear to my enemies.
20:30But what shall we tell King Proetus?
20:34Tell him what you like!
20:35We have a hero who killed the Chimera!
20:38Who would dare attack us now?
20:40What can I do to make up for my foolishness, Bellerophon?
20:44Well, let me think.
20:45I've always wanted my own stable of horses, so I can go riding with a beautiful princess.
20:51Asking me to part with my horses is one thing.
20:54But my daughter is my most precious gift.
20:58I will have to leave that decision up to her.
21:01Well, I do love horses.
21:04Shall we go for a ride, Your Majesty?
21:07It would be my pleasure.
21:09Bellerophon learned that the gods favored those who kept their promises, no matter the consequences.
21:23And that every act of courage is, in time, its own reward.
21:53I wait for a ride.
21:54Sometimes, yes.
21:55Where are you, the boys?
21:56What the gods, guys?
21:57I have to believe my husband.
21:58I have to believe my behold.
21:59I have to believe my father, talkin' my father.
22:00I have to believe my father, your father and me.
22:02The other people say in every day, I will believe that they support him.
22:04I have to believe my father's wife.
22:06You have to believe in him.
22:08I have to believe that he is the Lord, he has to believe it.
22:10I have to believe that he will not be your father.
22:12If he never truly can, he will believe that he is going to believe it.
