She-Ra, la principessa del potere

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.

Yeah, ol' Lou Schiemer and Filmation did some classic stuff in the 80s.

I remember going to the theater to see 'He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword'. It was one of the few movies I actually got to go to in between my early childhood and late adolescence (I think I was grounded from the time I was 10 until I was 18).

Heh, interesting memories. The friend I'd seen the movie with was the BIG He-Man fan, I was more of a GI Joe/Transformer fan (at least as far as our respective toy collections were concerned). He was always complaining about She-Ra pulling off ridiculous feats of strength without much effort---I believe in one episode she moves a large celestial body or large building or some such with one hand, whereas in some other episode of He-Man's show it was some sort of face-twisting hernia-inducing task for He-Man to lift Castle Greyskull off its foundations. It was *so* important for us to discuss this stuff! Ah, the bliss of youth, I do miss it.

I remember the She-Ra cartoon being a little bit flashier looking than the He-Man one. It used a lot more of that orange-yellow-scintillating light-effect-thing that Filmation made use of a lot in its cartoons, usually for "magic portals" and such. And of course the music had more depth to it. Most Filmation cartoons that I can remember usually had an instrumental version of the theme song over the end credits. Of course in the case of He-Man it was just the opening theme with none of the narration. Not only did She-Ra's end credit sequence involve lyrics but DIFFERENT lyrics and evidently a different song! OK, enough of my rambling. I heard recently She-Ra had a higher budget than He-Man...I'm pretty sure the extra money went into golden-scintillating light...portal...things and the music. ;)

I grew up on this show. I had the dolls. My sister and i played She-Ra for hours. I just don't understand why this show gets dumped off the airwaves and trash like "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" and "Pokemon" gets put on instead. This was one of the few really good kids shows, with no sex and bad language, and little violence. Where has children's programming gone? Bring She-Ra and He-Man back!

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.

She Ra and He Man are by far (along with the likes of The Thundercats and Voltron)some of the best cartoons ever. They were the staple of my after school lineup. Its a shame that they aren't broadcast around here. I could never understand why these were never (recently) made available on DVD/VHS. Too bad!
