Disney Pegasus

While kids often wish for a magic pony, a unicorn, or Santa Claus perhaps, I always wished I had Pegasus. The Disney version of Pegasus, of course. Hercules is one of my favorite Disney cartoons, but I was jealous that the demi-god got to keep him and ride him, and be his best friend! 



In case most of you didn't know, Pegasus is a winged horse and is Hercules' personal steed. Zeus described him as, "a magnificent horse with the brain of a bird". 
Pegasus was created by Zeus using clouds as a gift for his newborn son, Hercules. That night, however, Hercules was kidnapped. Pegasus did not reunite with Hercules until the now-teenager, went to the Temple of Zeus. Zeus summoned a fully-grown Pegasus, while telling Hercules of their history.
