Storyline

In a distant and mystical land, wimpy Prince Adam leads the life of royalty. Unknown to all but a few close friends/allies, Prince Adam is actually a hero, the mighty He-Man. Together with his friends, (such as Teela; her father, a man-at-arms; mysterious Orko and his mighty friend/horse substitute Battle Cat), He-Man battles the evil Skeletor and his minions for control of the world, and, more importantly, for the control, power and "honor of Greyskull," the mysterious castle from which He-Man derives his powers. Written by Jason A. Cormier <wildrose@mindspring.com>

Trivia

Legend has it that Mattell had originally planned to make a line of toys based on the 1982 movie Conan the Barbarian, but balked when the finished movie was rated R. (This was before the advent of MacFarlane toys and other action figures aimed at adults.) Instead of scrapping the line, they created He-Man. Most sources agree that, while He-Man was influenced by Conan, there was no direct connection. See more »

I have the POWER and SO MUCH MORE
14 November 2002 | by (california) – See all my reviews

On my Birthday (Nov 13, next to Veteran's day) I thought I review something special, and one thing came to mind "He-Man", probably the greatest cartoon (done by Funimation) done ever.

Even 20 yrs later "He-Man" surpasses many cartoons for it's quality, action, and beautiful hand drawn animation (now literally forgotten as most cartoons use computers).

Cartoon Network has now tried to cash in on the classic, but looking at both versions "Toonami"'s version of He-Man pales in comparison to the 1983-1985 185 Episodes classic.

The classic hasn't been shown in the air for ages, but through my power I have been able to download of the episodes.

Check out this cartoon it's a classic.
