Review(s): DVD He-Man & She-Ra - A Christmas Special
Even She-Ra celebrates christmas with He-Man
At least something of She-Ra is out on dvd. I will love the christmas special when it comes out December 6. I think both her and He-Man make a cute couple.
At Last, the princess hits DVD!
Okay, even though her series hasnt hit DVDs yet, but at least we can be happy something of She-ra is actually coming to DVD. Ive never seen this christmas special, though I believe I will love it.
I used to watch the old series of She-Ra with my grandmother every saterday morning, wit my Pops and bootie pajamas. Ever since the VHS tapes of the series and this christmas special has disappeared from rental shelves, its been nearly impossible to find anything of the twin brother and sister together in one DVD.
The Honor of Grey skull is returning!
A holiday cartoon classic!
I am so glad that "He-Man and She-Ra: A Christmas Special" will be released on DVD in time for the holidays! I still have my old VHS copy of the show that I recorded from television back in the 80s, and I still watch it every year.
Characters from the "He-Man" and "She-Ra" cartoons come together in this special holiday episode. Adora has returned to Eternia to celebrate Christmas with her parents and her twin brother, Adam. She's also brought a bunch of friends from Etheria with her to join in the fun. The holiday celebrations turn sour when Orko is playing in one of Man-at-Arms' new defensive devices, a Sky Spy. Poor Orko inadvertently launches the ship, and he ends up taking a trip into space and landing on a mysterious planet called Earth. Orko meets two children, Alishia and Miguel, who are lost in the woods. They join Orko in the Sky Spy to get out of the cold just as Man-at-Arms figures out how to bring the ship back to Eternia...with Orko and the kids in tow.
Of course, Christmas with He-Man and She-Ra wouldn't be complete without everyone's favorite villains. Skeletor and Hordak are commissioned by their boss, Horde Prime, to kidnap the children and deliver them to him...Horde Prime believes that they are the source of the "disgusting Christmas spirit" that is polluting his universe, and he is determined to get rid of them! Skeletor and Hordak compete against each other to see who can kidnap the children first. Alishia and Miguel end up spending a good portion of time with Skeletor, and in my opinion, that's the best part of the show. We get to witness the evil Skeletor become attached to these two kids and their Manchine puppy, Relay. It's hilarious!
In the end, Skeletor becomes filled with the Christmas spirit, and he saves the children from what would have been certain doom at the hands of Horde Prime. The kids get to enjoy Christmas and are eventually returned to their Earthen parents safe and sound.
Overall, this Christmas special is one of my favorite parts of the "He-Man" and "She-Ra" series. All of our favorite characters are together in one place, which is a lot of fun. There are also plenty of new characters, including the Manchines, who are a bunch of little robotic people and animals. Even though we get to see a lot of He-Man and She-Ra in this episode, Skeletor is the real star of the show...I crack up every time I see him get all sentimental on the screen!
I'm thrilled that this DVD is finally being released. Now that the "He-Man" series has slowly started to trickle out on DVD, hopefully "She-Ra" won't be far behind!

I thought I was the only one with scratched discs. I see others having the same problem as me. Beware, some discs come out of the box with scratches on them and they freeze at certain points of the episode. Very Frustrating! Luckily I can copy the damaged discs using dvd-x-copy software and it plays like new. Other than that, awesome quality and extras.

When I was four years old I was totally in love with He-man. I had He-Man bedsheets, He-Man curtains, He-Man action figures, He-Man play sets, a plastic He-Man sword... you get the idea.
The one thing I didn't have was any He-Man videos, and believe me, I would have bought them. The world loved He-Man, but the world has a short attention span, and gradually He-Man began to age.
But you know how this story ends. Mattel, after 20 years, has finally decided to release He-Man on DVD, just as they are now releasing every TV show you have ever heard of (and some you haven't). I stared, slack-jawed, upon the box labeled "The Best of He-Man". It was the ten best episodes. I knew at once, I had to have it.
Actually, I come to find out, He-Man was fairly revolutionary. It was the... More Info about this DVD Director(s): Bill Reed - Lou Zukor - Rich Trueblood - Gwen Wetzler - Lou Kachivas DVD Release Date: Released the 12 July 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours

Contrary to the reviewers who thought this was cheap animation, I didn't notice, maybe because it's not my field and I don't examine a work for its state of the art methodology or technology. I took it at face value and it met up with my standards. The sound was even okay. I'm pretty happy with the amount of entertainment wrapped up in this package.
