Wholesome children's entertainment, and an '80s classic, 12 September 2009
6/10
Author: Jimmy L. from Upstate New York

HE-MAN is a vintage '80s after school cartoon. Full of fun adventures and unique characters. When trouble arises, Prince Adam wields his mighty sword and is transformed into He-Man: the most powerful man in the universe.

The world of HE-MAN is like a mix of medieval mythology, fantasy, and futuristic technology. There are kings and queens, castles and dragons, laser beams and hovercraft, and magic and sorcery. The nefarious Skeletor is He-Man's sworn enemy, and in every episode he and his minions come up with new plots to take over the world.

The animation is nothing fancy, but it hearkens back to a simpler time. You can tell the studio was trying to save money by reusing animation where convenient. Young viewers won't complain, though, about the "dated" feel.

I think HE-MAN is still a good show for children, even today. Decried at the time for being too violent, the show is very tame by today's standards. (Occasionally the hero tosses a villain into a river.) The episodes are fun adventures and each episode ends with a valuable life lesson aimed at kids.

Fondly remembered by the children of the '80s, I wouldn't hesitate to show HE-MAN to my own children someday.
