==Origin==
In the classic Disney animated comedy ''Hercules'', the young Hercules was instructed to find Philoctetes, trainer of heroes, in order to become a true hero and rejoin his family on Olympus. He found Phil on a distant island flirting with some imps, startled at first to see a satyr rather than what he mistook for a goat (Phil was spying on the imps through some bushes, his goat backside visible to Hercules). Herc displayed his strength to Phil, the satyr impressed, yet not willing to have his dreams crushed again. He told Hercules his dream of training the ultimate hero, and how every one he trained never went the distance. When Hercules said he could, and with a little persuasion from Zeus via striking him with a lightning bolt and frying him, Phil was finally persuaded. He then proceeded to put Hercules through tests and other training, later taking him on his first real missions as a hero.
Phil first appeared in the classic Disney animated comedy ''Hercules''. He is a composite of several characters from Greek mythology; while he shares his name with {{w|Philoctetes}}, a human who lit the funeral pyre of {{w|Heracles}} upon his death, his personality and satyr design are similar to those of the god {{w|Pan (god)|Pan}}, and his role as a trainer of heroes is shared with the centaur {{w|Chiron}}.
 
In the film, the young Hercules was instructed to find Philoctetes, trainer of heroes, in order to become a true hero and rejoin his family on Olympus. He found Phil on a distant island spying on some nymphs, startled at first to see a satyr rather than what he mistook for a goat (Phil was spying on the imps through some bushes, his goat backside visible to Hercules). Herc displayed his strength to Phil, the satyr impressed, yet not willing to have his dreams crushed again. He told Hercules his dream of training the ultimate hero, and how every one he trained never went the distance. When Hercules said he could, and with a little persuasion from Zeus via striking him with a lightning bolt and frying him, Phil was finally persuaded. He then proceeded to put Hercules through tests and other training, later taking him on his first real missions as a hero.


On one of these missions, Hercules met Megara, a girl who was held captive by a centaur named Nessus. While Hercules battled the monster, Phil made a flirting attempt, Meg's refusal of him making Phil extremely angry and jealous. Much later in the film when Phil caught Hercules and Meg on a date, and Meg talking to Hades after Hercules had left on Phil's order, it was Phil's attempt to reveal the truth to the hero that almost broke up their duo for good. Phil attempted to leave for home, a distressed Meg coming to him and telling the satyr that Hercules would die if he didn't come back to help. Phil returned to Hercules's side, later watching over Meg as she died, mourning her loss along with Pegasus and Hercules.

After Hercules became a god again and revitalized Meg, Phil got to visit Olympus. There he flirted with Aphrodite resulting in a kiss from the goddess, Phil's dream later coming true, a picture of Hercules hung in the stars and everyone acknowledging Phil's achievement.

In the film, Phil was voiced by veteran actor and comedian {{w|Danny DeVito}}. To date, this is the only appearance of Phil where he is voiced by DeVito: in all subsequent installments, he is voiced by Robert Costanzo. In the film's Japanese dub, Phil was also voiced by the late Ichirō Nagai.
