She-Ra: Princess of Power

This series really struck a chord within me as a child, and I still have fond memories of watching it. I wish it had never ended, and I would love to buy it on DVD, along with many other cartoons (like He-Man, The Thundercats, and Snorkels.). Everyone should have a childhood filled with great cartoons like this.

As a young boy of the 80's I loved everything that had anything to do with He-man. When a new show featuring his twin sister debued I of course watched it for He-man...and found myself drawn into the wonderful world of Etheria. She-ra is an example of everything done right in a cartoon. It had action, compassion, humor, games, and life lessons. She-ra herself should be seen as an inspiration to young girls everywhere. She was strong, powerful, a leader, and wise. Another comment said She-ra was based loosely off of Wonder Woman...this may be so, but I honestly believe that She-ra was the main inspiration fot the famous "Xena: Warrior Princess." My friend and I found old tapes of She-ra at the library. After viewing it today, older and wiser, the stories truly are brilliantly done and there is even more humor than what I remembered. I recommend She-ra to anyone who loves action and fantasy.

I have reviewed dozens of 80's movies/tv shows and I have always said the same thing; the 80's were the best ever and nothing will ever top them.

She-Ra was one of the many great cartoons from that era. Being a male movie fan I didn't take much interest in it at first but I had enjoyed the awesome Masters of the Universe cartoon series. Back in the 80's I decided to watch She-Ra after realising it was connected to the He-Man show.

Just like He-Man and other 80's cartoons such as Thundercats, She-Ra had it all; swords, sorcery, action, moral dilemmas, heroics and pure fantasy. She-Ra's world was one of fantasy and there were clear cut heroes and villains. The villain was the wicked Hordak who ruled Etheria with an iron fist but could never totally rule thanks to She-Ra.

Call me crazy but I believe 1980's cartoons such as this can be great role models for everyone. I say that because 1980's cartoon heroes were true good guys who helped those less fortunate than themselves and always fought against the darkness and evil. The likes of She-Ra and He-Man were role models; they upheld their morals in a dark world and they never stooped to the level of the villains. They never killed anyone no matter how evil and they always worked tirelessly for the greater good. Perhaps we can all learn something from watching these shows-but remember to enjoy them as well. There's only so much philosophical thinking one can do whilst watching a show.

One thing I always liked about She Ra over He-Man was the villains! I absolutely loved the Horde! Hordak, Leach, Mantenna, Modulock and Grizlor! This series is another brilliant 80's Classic and the cross over with He-Man in the Secret of the Sword was brilliant!

To me this is the best serial cartoon to be put out yet. It always had great stories and I loved all the characters, even the horde.I hope someday She-Ra and her brother He-Man will return to television, or at least video. We just dont have quality programs like this on for kids anymore. Todays kids are exposed to such nonsense as "The Power Rangers" which has no real quality, its just repackaged shows from Japan. At least adults could like She-Ra, can you picture a parent sitting down and REALLY watching barney? no. All in all She-Ra was a great show and deserves to be noticed once again.
