5.0 out of 5 stars A Detailed and Worthy Overhaul of the 80's Icon
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I must address the defective disc 1 situation first. If you happen to receive the disc 1 with the missing scene from episode 4 (The Courage of Adam). You will know because at time marker 15:28 Adam will go from being locked in the cave with Cringer disguised as Panthor - to the miraculous jump cut of Adam and everyone else ready to do battle with Skeletor. I checked He-ManDOTorg (a long standing & reliable source for all things MOTU) and they posted a simple resolution in their Feb. 19 news a message from BCI Guy (you just have to email your info to the address provided or call a toll free number). You will receive in the mail a correct disc with the complete episode restored in its entirety. Bolo requirements prevent me from posting a URL or e-mail here, but it's not hard to find.As for the show review itself, I have to admit that this series rekindled my memories of Filmation's original He-Man - but there is so much more to this version. If you watched the 80's show as a child, then this puts in all back in place with a more modern look. My absolute favorite part of this series is all of the back story and explanations that our former childhood show never touched. It's both a blessing and a curse to try to appeal to adults as well as children. Unfortunately the curse part is what finally ended this amazing show. Where all of the more mature sections help appeal to the Gen X viewers, it also kind of turned the stomachs of the Cartoon Network's executives. By the third season this show was headed toward an amazing confrontation between three (yes three!) factions of enemies (Skeletor & Crew, King Hiss & The Snakemen, and Hordak & The Horde), plus let's not forget He-Man and all of his allies. But ultimately the show seemed too adult for the intended viewers and ratings forced it to be cancelled. It's a shame really. This show is the Masters of the Universe you wish you had as a kid.This DVD set (Volume I) has some great back story on Skeletor and who he really is (how did he get that face?... or the lack there of?). The episodes "The Beginning Part I" through Part III plays like one big movie to start off the season. In my opinion, these three episodes are the best of this set. Plenty of great information about Castle Greyskull and the history of Eternia... all of which seems much clearer than the history we knew from the old cartoon or the Mattel mini-comics, which often contradicted one another or avoided certain aspects of the mythos of He-Man during the 80's.Also, look for the small setup characters throughout Volume I that will become more important roles in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2003) Volume 2 and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Vol. 3 (2002). All of the characters you remember will show up eventually (many of which get their own episode to explain their back story). Which is awesome, since many of the MOTU figures I had when I was kid just appeared for one or two episodes in the 80's version (with very little explanation where they came from or where they went afterwards). Some characters didn't even look like their toy counterpart (can you say Faker from the episode The Shaping Staff?). This show has those situations more polished; they realized the fans have certain expectations. This He-Man cartoon ties up almost all of the old loose ends. The show delivers a mythology that answers those questions we once pondered as children playing in front of the TV after school and saturday mornings.As for the DVD extras, I was glad that BCI decided to add two collectible art cards in each box set, which started in the earlier dvd releases of the 1980's series. And my favorite, "End of Episode Morals" were included in this set. These little added scenes were originally included in the broadcast internationally (but not here in the U.S.) and now can be seen in all their glory. This gives this series more of He-Man of old kind of connection. I remembered the lead-out morales on the original series (similar to the popularity of vintage G.I. Joe "Now you know... and knowing is half the battle") that I thought was neat. Plus you get lots of commentaries, both audio and video, for more insight. I only hope that the future commentary tracks for Volume III will tell more of what would have been after the show was cancelled (He-Man Vs The Snakemen, MOTU Season 4), even if it only serves to tease our curiosity.If you even have a passing interest in He-Man from your childhood (say enough to buy the vintage DVDs), then this is a worthy redo. I personally came across this while watching episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars on the Cartoon Network four or five years ago. I was instantly surprised and hooked. Believe me, I've been waiting a long time for this MOTU DVD set to release. My only complaint is that it took this long.Update 3-14-08 - I received the corrected Disc 1 DVD from BCI, it also came with 2 Special Edition Bonus Cards (Emilian Santalucia Masters cast card & Emilian Santalucia Villains cast card). Two cool bonus items free with the disc, only took about 2-3 weeks to receive. Great news for those of you worried about the Disc 1 situation.
5.0 out of 5 stars I have the power!!!!
Thanks to Mill Creek for creating this awesome 1st season set and Bolo for their awesome service I can finally say i own The orginal He-Man the complete 1st season! I already own the later he-man cartoons from the 90s and beyond but i could never find the orginal cartoon sets anywhere that was very affordable for me, but 13 bucks for the complete 65 episode 1st season?! That was a hell of a deal! I was shocked to find that it even contained a episode guide and the discs all arrived mint and perfect. I have only watched a handful of episodes so far, but the video and audio look great to me, very colorful and crisp and the audio sounds great as well. I would recommend that if you love He-man just buy this fantastic set now and hope they will release season 2 soon.
5.0 out of 5 stars HE-MAN RULES!!!
I remember as a kid making trades with other kids to get my hands on He-Man toys I didn't have at the time. The toys were awesome to play with and we had tons of fun on a daily bases. That being said none of it would be possible were it not for this fantastic cartoon that was far ahead of its time in the 80's. He-Man was the coolest hero around and we all wanted to be him, every episode concludes with a special message for kids highlighting the moral of the story, the cause and consequences - show me a cartoon that does that today. This is a safe cartoon for all kids with cool characters and an endless supply of good vs evil. If you've never seen it give it a try an let the kids enjoy it, otherwise enjoy that kid in you again - Saturday mornings lives on again in my living room, ENJOY!

An excellent show. He-Man is re-imagined in just the right way.
This is the first half of season one of the re-imagined He-Man animated series, from 2002.I think it's excellent. It establishes a wonderful world and great characters. Here, on this DVD collection, are 13 episodes.It mostly focuses on He-Man battling the evil forces led by Skeletor.The show ran for 2 seasons (although the second season was cut short). While the show was a hit with many fans, and won awards, the figure-line failed to sell and so the show was cancelled. This was a shame, as the show was genuinely creative.
we love it! I watched this show as a kid
As a family, we love it! I watched this show as a kid, and now my boys get to enjoy it too.
