He-Man on DVD!!! And, it's....Pink!!
Review date: 2004-07-04 Rating: 10 out of 10

Watching these cartoons is a real trip back to the early 80s. The animation is about average for the time, and the sound is mastered in that popular 80s "Boom-o-Vision" - does every charachter really need an echo voice?

The thing I didn't remember is how much pink and purple is in this thing. Pink sky, pink castle, pink clothes, pink, pink pink! He-man's alter ego is dressed in pastel purple tights with a pink shirt. Wow. That can really be taken the wrong way today, but I guess pink was in then, wasn't it? Still, you have to wonder what poor Eternian creature gave up fur for a purple loincloth.

The disc itself is Excellent. The animation quality wasn't the greatest when these were new, and they pretty much look and sound just like I remember. The discs have a play-all and seperate episode feature, which is good, and they even have charachter bios and a special feature.

In all, if you liked He-Man way back when, you won't be dissapointed. And seeing as how Contender Entertainment has loaded these discs with lots of extras, they get 5 stars and then some. A good purchase for your animation collection, and don't forget to check out the Dungeons&Dragons cartoon DVDs, also released (and chock full 'o goodies) by Contender.

Now, if I can just get Contender to release the old Shazam! cartoons for my boomy voice superhero collection...

How good it is to see a cartoon I watched as a kid finally on DVD. I remember watching it first time round and everyone at school wanted to be He-Man. A truly classic cartoon, and I have to admit the new series isn't a patch on the original, especially with the transformation sequence. A truly memroble series. The DVD content I think could of had a lot more put into it, but other than that a terrific DVD.

Absolutely fantastic !!!!!!!!

When i was younger i was a massive fan of He-Man (he says with pride..lol), I saw this DVD & had to get it for simple reminsicing reasons & it's fantastic, it brings back all the memories, the cartoon has fantastic plots & the best characters ever.. the DVD is very well presented aswell with features & great menu's & animations during the menus (see how He-Man punches the screen when you play each episode), i remember their has been a couple of remakes of the cartoon but none of them even compare to the original & to me they have just ruined a classic cartoon.. of which is the best cartoon i think ever existed (They ain't like this now) & the animation ain't bad either ... i think the programme is timeless (my little brother of 7 loves it), you'll love all the characters in this DVD (specially the baddies who are my fave (Mer-Man, Beast Man, Tri Clops etc...) it beats any cartoon of all time (apart from maybe "The Simpsons" of course) & it's just great to have this DVD for many reasons.. see people's face when they see the DVD on the shelf in your room .. it truly is a fantastic DVD.

If you loved this programme when you were younger, you'll love it now ... if you were even a little fan of it or it's new to you, you'll love it... it truly is a wicked DVD & worth every 5 stars.

Fan tastic!!!! Simply Fantastic!!!!

I watch the new He-man series just coz theres nothing better...until i happened to see this was available. The 2 or 3 days waiting was scary for me coz i didnt want it to get here and it being like the typical chldhood memory....over-rated. BUT...when it got here, it went straight in and I said to myself id only watch 1 episode since there was only 6...sat down....3 hours later and 6 episodes on I was sooooo happy. Just that deep booming 'He-man....and the masters of the Universe' so many memories. Much better than the modern pish, back when he-man punched everything and the masters didnt show off with their weapon twirling every scene....and man-at-arms does not have a pony tail thank god!

A must have. Again, 4 stars just coz the bonus features arent that much of a bonus and did any1 read the he-man bible on their computers??? What was it again, around 60 pages of twaddle that we all saw in the pilot of the updated he-man and even they spead it over 3 episodes.

BUT even so, get it...youll never regret it, even when ppl come around and see it on the shelf, to see their faces....amazing!
