He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword

He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword (1985)

My Rating

Movie Info

This sword-and-sorcery animated feature basically stars two "toys" -- She-Ra (voice of Melanie Britt) and He-Man (voice of John Erwin). Princess Adora has a special destiny -- to manifest as She-Ra and save Etheria from the really nasty Horde -- but she is not aware of her power-to-be. When Prince Adam (who is really He-Man) goes to Etheria to find the future She-Ra, his job is cut out for him -- or at least drawn out in standard animation but with added visual tricks that entertain the eye.

Though hardly a lost classic, the cartoon's irony-free approach and bizarre characters show why it resonates today.

Classic '80s duo teams up in battles, bravery, friendship.

Audience Reviews for He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword

I loved this as a kid, and I thought my kids might enjoy it. Watching it again, I thought it was really boring and apparently so did my kids.

This was up on Youtube as a "featured" video (I have no clue why), and I decided to watch it because it's been years upon years since I last saw anything He-Man related. Well, it was terrible. The animation was stiff and jarring. The dialogue was trite and dumb, and all the characters were imbicilic.

    1. He-Man/Adam: That's where you're mistaken, jarhead.
    2. Hordack: You!
    3. She-Ra: It's all over, Hordak. Bright Moon is free. And soon, we'll free the other kingdoms as well.
