Product Description:
This was a revival of the classic 80's cartoon He-man and the Masters of the Universe for the modern age, it focused on the early adventures of Prince Adam, who, having just become Eternia's most powerful guardian He-Man, had to learn how to handle his new powers, and lead his allies into battle against the evil Skeletor. With the aid of his own Evil Warrior henchmen, Skeletor schemes to blanket Eternia in chaos, and rule over the planet in dominion. Only He-Man, guided and advised by the Sorceress of Castle Grayskull, stands in his way.
With the aid of his trusted friends and Masters, he vows to end Skeletor's evil and the other evils that plague Eternia. The battle is joined as Good and Evil collide in a fight for Eternia's fate!
This unique take on the retro fan favorite delighted and entertained the children of this decade as it did to those living in the 80's.

After the runaway success of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe in 1983 led to a spate of toy-based series that were broadcast in syndication in America, He-Man returned in 2002, after the toys had been redesigned. Adam lost his Dutch boy hair cut and his body looked even more overdeveloped. The premise remained the unchanged: With the aid of the enchanted Sword of Power, Adam, the slacker-dude Prince of Eternia, becomes He-Man, the heroic defender of the realm against the evil machinations of Skeletor and his minions. Like Superman, Adam has to keep his alter-identity secret. But instead of spunky newswoman Lois Lane, his love interest is Teela, who insults and belittles him. From Snake Mountain, Skeletor hatches schemes to conquer Eternia, only to be thwarted by He-Man, with some help from Teela, Man-at-Arms, et al. With the possible exception of Evil-Lyn, Skeletor's henchmen are such doofuses, they don't feel like much of a threat. The battle between good against evil is so simplistic, it makes Dragon Ball look nuanced. The filmmakers try to capture some of the excitement of anime fantasy-adventures, but they pull their punches--literally and figuratively. Although the combatants twirl swords and pole arms like martial artists, no blood is shed and no one gets seriously injured. He-Man only uses his Sword of Power to deflect energy blasts: he slugs bad guys and monsters. The disc of extras includes video commentaries and animatics for three episodes, audio commentaries on five episodes and an extensive image gallery. (Rated TV Y7: violence) --Charles Solomon

This cartoon is a great revamp of the classic he man cartoons. The best thing about this version of he man is that we actually see Adam being told why he needs to become he man and what is so special about castle grayskull. Some Masters and villians have origin stories which to my knowledge has never been done before. All in all this is a great cartoon series.

A big fan of the whole series. You can't go wrong with this one, besides you own one you gotta own them all.

First, 4 stars because of the problem in disc 1 (courage of adam), that you have to ask for a replacement (visit he-man.org or scroll down to the review that has the address for the new disc). I got the replacement disc, extra cards so it was a plus.
I got to see only a few episodes of season 1 on cartoon network latin america, some how something was missing. I watched a few but disliked it, as a result I stopped watching alltogether.
When this set came out, a voice in ... Read More

One thing I have noticed is in the episode "Courage of Adam" on Disc 1, at about the 15 min mark there seems to be an entire section the episode missing.
The episode shows Cringer trying to give Adam, who was imprisoned, his sword back then he gets chanced away, and the episode fades away and the next scene shows the Masters and Adam outside and free. It never showed the Master's arriving and Adam escaping. At first I thought it to be from another episode but Cringer was still wearing ... Read More

Much better than the original series or even the cartoon series that came out in the 90's. I suspect that the cartoon did not do as well because of marketing and because the target audience (kids) simply weren't into the subject matter or the toys (he-man came about because of the Conan craze of the early 80's. And today, you don't see that catalyse in our culture). The plot and story-line are much more adult as well - which might also have been a factor since the appeal of these cartoons tends to ...
