Pleasant Surprise of 80s nostalgia, 29 September 2002
Author: Puke Bag from Vancouver, BC

While attempts at reviving old 80s properties have fell flat to a certain extent (TransFormers: Robots in Disguise and Armada anyone?), the new He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is a nice little revisit to after school cartoons.

There are neat little tweaks here and there to the mythos, such as the fact that Cringer/Battlecat does not talk (sort of a shame, considering that he provided some of the funniest dialogue in the original 80s cartoon, but considering that Orco is already the comic relief character, it's not necessary), He-Man looks completely different from his civilian alter-ego, plus updates to the character design. But the best thing about it is that kids and nostalgic adults can appreciate this.

Just as a side note -- animation fans will instantly recognize many of the voice actors in this show. Man-At-Arms sounds suspiciously like Optimus Primal from Beast Wars, Merman sounds supiciously like Waspinator (also from Beast Wars), while Prince Adam sounds suspiciously like Leonardo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (but I could be thinking about Goku from Dragon Ball Z).
